Understanding Hydraulic Pumps
The pump is that component of the hydraulic circuit that converts mechanical energy into hydraulic pressure, which in turn produces force in the cylinder. The mechanical energy can be supplied by hand, by an electric motor, or by air pressure. Used less often are gasoline driven internal combustion engine pumps. Hydraulic pumps are classified under the broad category of pumps known as positive displacement. Positive displacement (PD) pumps can produce fluid pressure either by rotating meshing gears of by piston action. Sometimes in the case of two-stage pumps, both gears and pistons are utilized. PD pumps require a provision of over-pressure protection. The discharge pressure of hydraulic pumps has been standardized at 10,000 psi (pounds per square inch).

Hydraulic Pump: Preventive Maintenance To Maximize Its Performance
Hydraulic Pump: Preventive Maintenance To Maximize Its Performance
Every mechanical part needs maintenance, so do the hydraulic pumps. Obviously, the proper maintenance can keep mechanical products under good conditions. Otherwise, the improper maintenance may lead to many problems which will then cause more serious problems. Therefore, you should do some preventive maintenance to avoid some unnecessary failures.
The preventive maintenance of the hydraulic pump involves many steps. It is warned that the maintenance or repair procedures should be done after disconnect the pump from the power supply. The following are some things related with the preventive maintenance of the hydraulic pump.
First of all, you should check the hydraulic fluid level. Proper oil level is 1/2 from the top of the fill hole when all wrenches are retracted. You must check the oil level in the reservoir regularly. Then you should drain, flush, and refill the reservoir with high-grade hydraulic oil after a certain period of use.
Secondly, the cleaning maintenance is a crucial procedure for the preventive maintenance. Under this step, you should seal all unused couplers with thread protectors, and keep all hose connections free of dirt and grime and the pump's outer surface as free from dirt as possible. Besides, the equipment connected to the pump must be kept clean.
Thirdly, you should drain and flush the reservoir. Before the pump interior is removed from the reservoir, you should clean the pump exterior. There are some things to follow. 1. Remove the ten screws fastening the motor and pump assembly to the reservoir. You should make sure that you do not damage the gasket or bump the filter or pressure regulating valves when lifting the pump and motor off the reservoir. 2. Clean the inside of the reservoir and fill with suitable flushing oil. 3. Place the pump and motor assembly back onto the reservoir, and secure with two machine screws assembled on opposite corners of the housing. After then, you should run the pump for several minutes. Then disconnect the motor and pump assembly, and drain and clean the inside of the reservoir. At last, you should fill the reservoir with hydraulic oil. Place the pump and motor assembly (with gasket) on the reservoir, and thread the ten screws.
In addition to the above mentioned steps, the oil should be added to the reservoir. Before doing this, wrench must be fully retracted and the power supply should be disconnected. You should clean the entire area around the filler plug before removing the filler plug, and use a clean funnel with filter when adding oil.

Excellent Guide For Set-up Procedures Of Hydraulic Pumps
Excellent Guide For Set-up Procedures Of Hydraulic Pumps
Hydraulic pump is an important mechanical device used to move liquids in a hydraulic system. It has a wide range of applications. Thus, we should try to learn anything about them to help ourselves know more about it.
Hydraulic pump set-up procedure deserves our study although it may be very complicated. Various steps are involved. The first one is filling the reservoir. You should note that the pump has been shipped without oil in the reservoir. High-grade hydraulic oil has been shipped with the pump in a separate container. If additional oil is required, use high-grade, approved hydraulic oil. To do this step, you should clean the area around the filler cap to remove all dust and grit, and retract all cylinders to the return position. After then, you have to remove the filler cap, and insert a clean funnel and filter, and then fill with hydraulic oil. At last, you should check the oil level in the pump reservoir again.
The second procedure is the hydraulic connections. You have to clean all the areas around the oil ports of the pump and wrench, and then inspect all threads and fittings for signs of wear or damage, and replace as needed. The last step you should do is to remove the thread protectors from the hydraulic oil outlets. Connect the hose assembly to the hydraulic oil outlet, and couple the hose to the wrench.
The third one is priming the pump. When operating the pump for the first time, many things should be cared. 1. Valve and hose connections must be tight, and the reservoir must be filled to the proper oil level. 2. Jog the pump several times to build pressure. If the pump doesn't build pressure, it may not be primed. 3. Disconnect a hose from the system and route it back to the pump reservoir. Run the pump until a steady flow of oil is observed free of suspended air bubbles. Reconnect the hose to the system.4. Run wrench several times to eliminate air from the system. 5. The pump is ready to be put into regular operation.
After the above procedures, you should adjust the pressure regulating valve. For easy adjustment of the pressure regulating valve, you should always adjust the pressure by increasing to the desired pressure setting.
All of these procedures are necessary for the set-up and operation of the hydraulic pumps. So you should always take them into consideration.

How To Choose The Right Hydraulic Cylinder?
How To Choose The Right Hydraulic Cylinder
Hydraulic cylinders are devices used in both large and small scale industry, in manual and in power tools. They give a leverage of force to move a workload. Hydraulic cylinders are used in machines that push, pull, lift or ease down heavy loads. They are used in automotive industry, civil engineering, mining, drilling, warehousing, shipping and loading to name but a few. Hydraulic cylinders are found in cars, press machines, robotics, automatic doors and gates. The larger and more resilient industrial hydraulic cylinders are found in earth movers, bulldozers, oil rigs, cranes, draw bridges and the like. The main parts of a hydraulic cylinder are the cylinder head, the piston and the piston rod. There is an emphasis on frictionless and airtight connections between these parts to avoid wear and tear.
The hydraulic cylinder is filled with hydraulic oil and it houses a piston which moves back and forth along its length. The piston is pushed or pulled by a piston arm that is in turn powered by a generator. The piston has rings and valves that allow it to slide along the hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinders endure tremendous forces that are transmitted through the oil by hydraulic pressure. Since the hydraulic cylinder is tightly sealed, it is able to efficiently direct force to work upon a heavy workload. Hydraulic cylinders are made of high stress steel. To avoid corrosion they are painted but the piston rods that are connected at their end are not painted since they are always under high stress.
For aesthetic purposes the piston rods may be coated with chromium. Industrial hydraulic cylinders are custom welded with bore sizes that fit into specified volumes of space. Hydraulic cylinders come in different sizes and features. They may be single stage for one directional function, or double stage for dual directional force. In the case of industrial hydraulic cylinders, there are options of multi stage cylinders as seen in earth movers that can operate with multiple functions. A hydraulic cylinder is usually connected to an oil reservoir that it draws from until the piston rod is pulled to full length. The hydraulic oil is routinely drained and replaced to avoid build up of impurities. The entire hydraulic apparatus is powered by DC current from standard automotive batteries.
Hydraulic cylinders are made of high quality steel which is the reason why they can transmit large amounts of force needed to move loads. They use liquid fluid for high stress operations as opposed to pneumatic cylinders which use air for smaller scale applications. The larger the bore size of the hydraulic cylinder the more force it can exert. Bore sizes are standardized into different size categories that cuts across all manufacturers. Therefore hydraulic cylinders are items that are purchased over the counters of hardware marts. They are interchangeable for different brands. There are some instances however, where customized hydraulic cylinders are necessary. These are usually industrial hydraulic cylinders for special projects. The hydraulic cylinder end is usually threaded or flanged to enable repair or routine maintenance to be carried out.
