= 100 Kg-Cm

= 100 Kg-Cm

 ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED.
 WHAT IS GAINED BY FORCE IS SACRIFICED IN THE
DISTANCE MOVED.

Typical Units of Pressure

The SI unit for pressure is the Pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per
square meter (N/m2 or kg·m−1·s−2).
1 Bar = 14.69 psi = 100 kilo pascal
www.nfiautomation.org

Typical Units of Flow
CFM = Cubic feet per minute
Cubic meter per hour = M*M*M/Hour
Litres per minutes = l/min
Types of Flow
Laminar
Turbulent

Laminar flow is preferred
in fluid power systems
over turbulent flow
because it is more
efficient and loses less
energy.
Types of Flow
Fluids that are thick and
flow with difficulty have
high viscosity, while
liquids that are thin and
flow easily have low
viscosity.
Viscosity of Fluid
A Saybolt viscometer is a
test instrument used to
measure fluid viscosity.
Flow of Fluid
A flow meter is a
meter that is used to
measure the flow of
fluid (in gpm) within a
system.
Fluid Losses
Resistance to fluid flow generates friction and the resulting energy is
converted into heat.

Basic Hydraulic System
www.nfiautomation.org

Example: Hydraulic Jack
www.nfiautomation.org

Example: Motor Reversing System
b. Motor-Reversing System. A power-driven pump operating a reversible rotary motor. A
reversing valve directs fluid to either side of the motor and back to the reservoir. A relief valve
protects the system against excess pressure and can bypass pump output to the reservoir, if
pressure rises too high.

Hydraulic Pumps
Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy from a prime mover (engine or electric
motor) into hydraulic (pressure) energy. The pressure energy is used then to operate an
actuator. Pumps push on a hydraulic fluid and create flow.

Double-Acting Double-Rod Cylinder

A double ended piston rod makes a cylinder stronger against side
load, as it has two bearings at the widest distance possible. This type
of cylinder is often mounted with rods fixed and the cylinder itself
moving to displace a part.

Pressure Relief Valve

Simple, direct-acting relief valve has no
adjusting screw and therefore opens at
a fixed, pre-set pressure as controlled
by setting of compression spring.

Adjustable, direct-acting relief valve blocks
flow through the valve until force of system
pressure on the poppet overcomes the
adjustable spring force and downstream
pressure.
