How does the hydraulic system work

How the hydraulic system works, we all have a more or less understanding of the components of the hydraulic system, and we also have a basic understanding of the working principle of the hydraulic system. However, we may not have a clear understanding of how the hydraulic system works and what components are executed at each step. Below, we will introduce the specific workflow of the hydraulic system in detail.

Hydraulic system workflow:

1. Firstly, the hydraulic system has a tank containing hydraulic oil, which is supplied to the pump for use.

2. Hydraulic oil is available, and if you want hydraulic oil to flow, you must have a hydraulic pump. However, it should be noted that the pump does not suck oil from the main tank, but rather flows hydraulic oil into the oil pump through gravity.

3. Every time the hydraulic oil pump rotates, it pushes out the oil. It is important to remember that the pump only moves capacity. The capacity determines the speed of hydraulic action. The load forms pressure, and the pump does not generate pressure.

4. The hydraulic oil pump is connected to the pipeline between the control valve. The pumped oil flows to the valve. The task of the valve is to allow oil to flow to the cylinder or tank.

5. The next step in the system is the hydraulic cylinder, which performs the actual work. The control valve has two oil pipes connected to the oil cylinder.

6. The oil from the hydraulic pump flows to the large chamber at the bottom of the piston through the control valve. The load generates flow resistance and generates pressure.

7. The hydraulic system seems to be very complete, but in fact, it is not complete enough. It also requires a very important component. We must consider how to protect all components from damage in the event of sudden overloading or other malfunctions. Even if the system malfunctions, the pump continues to rotate and supply oil to the system. If the oil pumped out has nowhere to go, pressure will accumulate until some parts are damaged. We install an overflow valve to prevent damage. Usually, it is closed, but when the pressure reaches the set amount, the valve will open and allow oil to flow back to the tank.

8. The basic hydraulic system consists of an oil tank, pump, control valve, oil cylinder, connecting pipeline, and overflow valve. All these components are necessary.

Through the above knowledge, have you gained a further understanding of how hydraulic systems work? Of course, these are only some relatively simple hydraulic system workflows, such as some servo hydraulic system workflows that are more complex. If you are interested, please continue to follow us.
