Selecting a cylinder
• Example
A Lifting device with a differential cylinder with the area ratio 𝜑 of 2:1 is to lift 40
kN 500 mm in 5 sec. The maximum system pressure for the pump is to be 160
bar.
Calculate the piston diameter 𝑑𝑃 and find the piston rod diameter 𝑑𝑆𝑇 in the
area ratio table
On the basis of the piston rod diameter 𝑑𝑆𝑇 , find the maximum possible stroke
length from the buckling resistance diagram
Calculate the advance and return speeds for the piston and the pump delivery
The mechanical, hydraulic efficiency of the cylinder amounts to 𝜂ℎ𝑚 = 0.95, pipe
loss amounts to 5 bar, pressure drop in the directional control valve 3 bar and
back pressure from the return movement 6 bar

Selecting a cylinder
• Solution
• In order to calculate the piston diameter, The hydraulic, mechanical efficiency
𝜂ℎ𝑚 is used which depends on the roughness of the cylinder barrel, piston rod
and type of sealing system and it lies between 0.85 and 0.95
• The piston diameter is

𝐴𝑃
𝜑=
𝐴𝑎𝑛𝑛

• Buckling resistance as defined by Euler must be taken into consideration when


deciding on piston rod diameter and stroke length which is found in
Manufacturer’s tables
• When installing the cylinder, it is necessary to insure that no distortions are
possible

Selecting a cylinder
• The permissible buckling force 𝐹𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑚 for a pressurized load is calculated as

Hydraulic motors
• They are drive components (actuators)
• They convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and generate rotary
movements (rotary actuator)
• If the rotary movement only covers a certain angular range, the actuator is
referred to as a swivel drive

A hydraulic impact wrench is used for heavy-


duty drilling, loosening, and tightening
operations

• Calculating the capacity of a hydraulic motor using

Hydraulic motors
• Example
• A motor with a capacity of V = 10 𝑐𝑚3 is to operate at a speed of n = 600
revolutions per minute.
What flow rate (Q) is required by the motor?

Analysis of Torque Capacity

Analysis of Torque Capacity
• Example
• A single-vane rotary actuator has the following physical data:
• outer radius of rotor = 0.5 in
• outer radius of vane = 1.5 in
• width of vane = 1 in
If the torque load is 1000 in · lb, what pressure must be developed to overcome
the load?
• Solution

𝑉𝐷 = 𝜋 1.52 − 0.52 1 = 6.28 𝑖𝑛3

2 𝜋 𝑇 2 𝜋 (1000)
𝑝= = = 1000 𝑝𝑠𝑖
𝑉𝐷 6.28

Analysis of Torque Capacity
• Example
• A hydraulic motor with a capacity of V = 12.9 𝑐𝑚3 is driven with a pump delivery
of Q = 15 l/min. At the resultant speed, the turning torque M = 1 Nm.
What is this speed (n) and what is the power rating (P)?
Calculate the torque which arises when the motor brakes suddenly causing a
pressure of 140 bar (140 x 105 Pa) to be generated.
