Welcome to Basic
Hydraulics Training
Introduction:
• During the few decades various automation
techniques has been introduced in the field of
manufacturing in order to enhance the overall
industrial productivity.
• Among the various technologies that are playing
important role in rapid growth of Indian industries, fluid
power is unique.
• During past decade number of applications have been
developed based on Hydraulics.

Hydraulics:
Hydraulics is the term used when fluid (oil) is used as working medium
to transmit energy at different required pressures. Generation of
forces or motions by using the hydraulic fluids is possible in this
case.
Types of Hydraulics:
There are two basic types of hydraulics,
- Stationary Hydraulics
- Mobile Hydraulics

Stationary Hydraulics:
Automobiles

Hydrostatics uses pressure energy of fluid (oil)
It is science of liquids under pressure
AT REST – equal pressure acts throughout
No resistance = No pressure
F=PxA F=MxA
F = force in Kg or N
P = Pressure
A = area
M = mass
A = acceleration
Our study is about hydrostatics

overview
Poppet principle
Lines in the boxes are used to show flow path with arrow indicating
direction of flow.
FLOW
The shut off position is indicated by the line drawn at right angle to the
horizontal line inside the rectangle.
PIPE CONNECTIONS :-
- The pipe connections i.e. inlet and outlet ports to the valve are
indicated by lines drawn on outside of the box and right angle to
the horizontal line .
- The first position from left indicates the rest, initial or neutral
position when the valve is not actuated.
- The second position or square from left indicates actuated
position.

- For ex. Cylinder B has to move when cylinder A has reached its
forward end & a pressure of 30 bar has been reached.

Pressure relief valves often incorporate cushioning pistons or flow control valve.
The cushioning device shown provides fast opening & slow closing of valve.
This prevents damage caused by pressure shocks

Hydraulic Calculations
Volume of cylinder (rod end) = (piston area – rod area) x stroke length
Usually flow rate is given in lit / min & area in cm² or mm²
Example –
Calculate the cross section area required for the suction line of a
pump delivering 40 l/min with a maximum flow velocity of 1.2 m/s
d² = 0.555 x 10 -³ x 4
3.142
d = 26.6 mm pipe bore dia.

Accumulators
Hydraulic accumulator is an accessory of a hydraulic system
A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which a
non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external
source.
The external source can be a spring, a raised weight, or a compressed
gas. An accumulator enables a hydraulic system to cope with
extremes of demand using a less powerful pump, to respond more
quickly to a temporary demand, and to smooth out pulsations. It is a
type of energy storage device.
