Hydraulic Power Pack Components Overview

This document provides an overview of hydraulic components and systems. It discusses the main components of a hydraulic power pack including the reservoir, electric motor, pump, valves, actuator, and piping system. The reservoir functions to store fluid, remove heat and contaminants from the fluid, and condition the fluid. The electric motor drives the hydraulic pump. The pump converts mechanical power into hydraulic power to generate fluid flow. Valves are used to control flow, pressure, and direction of the fluid. Actuators reconvert hydraulic power into mechanical motion or force. Piping connects the components and delivers fluid throughout the system.

Hydraulics Power Pack

• Consist of three main components


– Reservoir
– Electric motor
– Pump
Reservoir

• The main function of a reservoir of course is to


store a specific quantity of fluid.
• However, there are several others functions of
reservoir:
– Remove the heat from the fluids through the reservoir
walls
– Conditioning the fluid by resolving the fluids
contaminants
– Remove the trapped air inside the fluids
– Function as the mounting support for the hydraulic
components
Reservoir

A complete reservoir has the following


components:
• Baffle plate: to prevent the fluid that return from
the system to enter the inlet of pump.
• Inspection cover: to inspect the fluid color for
maintenance purpose.
• Filter breather: for the air exchange process
• Level indicator: to inspect the level of fluid
• Connection: for suction and drain lines
Reservoir
Electric Motor

• Used to drive the hydraulic pump

CC0 by Pashminu
Hydraulics Pump

• Mechanical component used to converts


mechanical into hydraulic power.
• Generates flow with enough power to
overcome pressure induced by the load.
Valves

• The hydraulic valves used to control the


hydraulic system in term of the flowrate,
pressure, fluid direction flow etc.
• Types of hydraulics valve
– Pressure control valves (PCVs)
– Directional control valves (DCVs)
– Flow control valves (FCVs)
– Check valves
Actuator

• The actuator function to reconvert


hydraulic power into mechanical, to drive
the load.
• The hydraulic actuators can be classes
into 3 categories:
– Hydraulic cylinders for linear motion
– Hydraulic motors for continuous rotary motion
– Hydraulic rotary actuators for limited angular
displacement
Piping system

• Used to connect the hydraulics components.


• To deliver hydraulic fluids to different
components.
• The piping system may consist of flexible or
rigid hoses.
Lesson Summary

• In this lesson, we have identified 6


hydraulic power pack components
– pump, tank, valves, actuator, motor, piping
system
