Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

The characteristic curves of a particular rotary hydraulic motor are nearly identical with those of the corresponding hydraulic pump.

Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

Like in hydraulic pumps, the performance of hydraulic motor is also evaluated by using volumetric, mechanical, and overall efficiencies.

What are Limited-Rotation Hydraulic Motors?, Vane Type Limited-Rotation Motors

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

The limited-rotation motors provide an oscillating power output. In other words, limited-rotation motors provide rotary output motion over a finite angle.

Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

Piston motors are positive displacement motors which can develop an output torque at the shaft by allowing pressurised fluid to act on the pistons.

Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

Vane motors work on the same principle as vane pumps in reverse.

Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

Like gear pumps, gear motors are fixed displacement devices.

Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

The function of a rotary actuator is to convert hydraulic energy into rotary mechanical energy.

Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

The hydraulic cylinders are to be mounted properly depending upon their applications for which they are designed.

Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

A double-rod cylinder, also known as through rod cylinder, has piston rods extending from both ends of the cylinder.

What is a Tandem Cylinder?, Construction and Operation, Dual Linear Actuator

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

A tandem cylinder is one in which two or more piston and rod combinations are assembled as a rigid unit with all pistons mounted on single rod.

What is a Telescopic Cylinder?, Construction and Operation, Working of a Two-Stage Double-Acting Telescopic Cylinder

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

Telescopic cylinder is used where there is a space constraint.

What is Meant by Cylinder Cushion ?, Construction and Operation,

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit II: Hydraulic Actuators and Control Components

When the pressurised fluid is allowed to enter inside the cylinder, the piston accelerates and travels in the cylinder barrel.
