Hydraulic Pilot-Operated Check Valve
The pilot-operated check valve is shown in Fig. 7.11. For flow in the forward direction, this valve operates just like a normal check valve. Pilot line pressure holds the valve open for fluid in the reverse direction. If the pilot … Continue reading
Hydraulic Presses Machines Circuit
Presses are used for molding, shaping, shearing, and many other operations. Some of the older manufacturing plants have lines of presses connected in parallel as shown in Fig. 7.9. To give perspective to the problem, let us assume that the … Continue reading
Gear-Type Hydraulic Flow Divider
The gear-type flow divider functions like two gear motors with their shafts rigidly attached. We will consider first the case in which both motors have the same displacement. Since their shafts are attached, they both have to turn at the … Continue reading
Orifice-Type Hydraulic Flow Divider
Theoretically, the orifice on both sides of the flow divider can be adjusted so that the ?P across the orifice plus the load ?P is equal on both sides. Then, the flow from the pump will divide equally, and both … Continue reading
