Basic Hydraulic Power Systems: KPS@NTT - Edu 1

This document discusses basic hydraulic power systems. It describes how a prime mover supplies power to a pump that converts it to hydraulic power. Hydraulic fluid is transmitted through lines and valves to control flow. Hydraulic power is then delivered to cylinders to produce motion. The advantages of hydraulic systems include high power-to-weight ratio and flexibility. Disadvantages include the need for hydraulic generators and limitations on operating temperatures.

Basic Functions of
Hydraulic Power Systems
The function of this system is summarized in the following:

1. The prime mover supplies the system with the required mechanical power.
The pump converts the input mechanical power to hydraulic power.

2. The energy-carrying liquid is transmitted through the hydraulic


transmission lines: pipes and hoses. The hydraulic power is controlled by
means of valves of different types. This circuit includes three different
types of valves: a pressure control valve, a directional control valve, and a
flow control (throttle check) valve.

3. The controlled hydraulic power is communicated to the hydraulic cylinder,


which converts it to the required mechanical power. Generally, the
hydraulic power systems provide both rotary and linear motions.

The Advantages of Hydraulic Systems


The main advantages of the hydraulic power systems are the following:
1. High power-to-weight ratio.
2. Self-lubrication.
3. There is no saturation phenomenon in the hydraulic systems compared with
saturation in electric machines. The maximum torque of an electric motor is
proportional to the electric current, but it is limited by the magnetic saturation.
4. High force-to-mass and torque-to-inertia ratios, which result in high acceleration
capability and a rapid response of the hydraulic motors.
5. High stiffness of the hydraulic cylinders, which allows stopping loads at any
intermediate position.
6. Simple protection against overloading.
7. Possibility of energy storage in hydraulic accumulators.
8. Flexibility of transmission compared with mechanical systems.
9. Availability of both rotary and rectilinear motions.
10. Safe regarding explosion hazards.

The Disadvantages of Hydraulic


Systems
Hydraulic power systems have the following disadvantages:
1. Hydraulic power is not readily available, unlike electrical
Hydraulic generators are therefore required.
2. High cost of production due to the requirements of small
clearances and high precision production process.
3. High inertia of transmission lines, which increases their
response time.
4. Limitation of the maximum and minimum operating
temperature.
5. Fire hazard when using mineral oils.
6. Oil filtration problems.
