Discussion(ElectoHydraulic)
Based on this experiment, we found that the hydraulic can load higher energy compared
to pneumatic which is applicable for light work. This system operates with incompressible fluid
or oil that acts as medium to transmit power from pump to actuator and returned back to
reservoir. When the motor get power from electricity, the pump will channel the oil from
reservoir to the filter. The reservoir functions are to hold excess hydraulic fluid and separate the
air, dirt and other particle from fluid. The reservoir also works as a heat accumulator to cover
losses in the system when peak power is used. The filter is to prevent metal particle to damaging
the component.
From the filter the fluid will go to the solenoid directional control valve. The directional
control valve is used to control the direction of fluid flow whether the position of actuator in
Tension, Retraction or Stopped Position. When the push button is pushed, the solenoid
directional valve will shifted to left and the fluid will go through the solenoid directional control
valve. Form the solenoid directional control valve the fluid will go and enter the cylinder A at
the end of cap. As a result the cylinder A wills extent. Fluid from rod end cylinder A will return
back to end by going through the sequence valve A. Sequence valves, it is a valve to control the
sequence of hydraulic circuit to ensure the first cylinder is fully extended before another cylinder
start stroke. From the solenoid directional control valve also, the fluid will go the sequence B and
after the cylinder A is fully extend, the cylinder B will extended. The fluid at end rod of cylinder
B will go to tank straightly.
When the solenoid directional control valve shifted to right, the fluid from pump will
enter solenoid directional valve and go to end rod at cylinder B and at sequence valve A. The
cylinder B will start to retract. After the cylinder B fully retracted, the fluid will go through
sequence valve A and straightly enter the end rod cylinder A, and cylinder A retracted after the
cylinder B completely retract. At the both end cap of cylinder will return to tank. At a cylinder A,
the fluid at end cap will straightly flow to tank without going through sequence valve, but the
fluid come out from end cap cylinder B must passing sequence valve. As a result the cylinder B
will retract first and follow by cylinder A when the cylinder B is completely retract.

Recommendations
Based on this experiment, there is some recommendation that we would to consider in order for
the improvement of this system and this course. There are as follow;

Student should be given a permission to do an extra experiment themselves by playing

different problems and condition with various kind of component.

The equipment was not in good condition. There has some leakage when the pump
delivers fluid in the system. Services should be done in order for the system to run as
expected.
