Introduction

This workbook is part of the learning system for automation technology from Festo Didactic. The system
provides a solid basis for practice-oriented basic and further training. Training packages TP 601 and TP 602
include electrohydraulic controllers only.

The TP 601 basic level is suitable for fundamental training in the field of electrohydraulic control technology.
On the basis of practically oriented problems, the workbook imparts knowledge regarding the basic physical
principles of electrohydraulics, function and use of electrohydraulic components and typical, basic electrical
circuits. Simple electrohydraulic controllers can be set up with the equipment set. Basic knowledge of
hydraulic device technology is a prerequisite.

The TP 602 advanced level is targeted at vocational training in the field of electrohydraulic control
technology. More advanced electrohydraulic circuits can be set up with this equipment set.

Technical prerequisites for setting up the controllers include:

• A Learnline or Learntop-S workstation equipped with a Festo Didactic slotted profile plate. The slotted
profile plate has 14 parallel T-slots at 50 mm intervals.
• A hydraulic unit (operating voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz, operating pressure: 6 MPa (60 bar),
volumetric flow rate: 2 l/min)
• A power pack with short-circuit protection (input: 230 V, 50 Hz, output: 24 V, max. 5 A).
• Laboratory safety cables

Each of the circuits for all 15 exercises is set up using the TP 601 basic level equipment set. The theoretical
fundamentals for understanding the exercises listed in this workbook are included in the textbook entitled:
• Fundamentals of hydraulics and electrohydraulics.

Data sheets for the individual components are also available (cylinders, valves, sensors etc.).

 Work and safety instructions

General
• Trainees should only work with the circuits under the supervision of an instructor.
• Electrical devices (e.g. power packs, compressors and hydraulic units) may only be operated in training
rooms that are equipped with residual current devices (RCDs).
• Observe the specifications included in the data sheets and operating instructions for the individual
components, and in particular all safety instructions!
• Malfunctions which may impair safety must not be generated.
• Wear personal safety equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, safety shoes) when working on
circuits.

Mechanical safety
• Switch off the power supply!
– Switch off working and control power before working on the circuit.
– Only reach into the setup when it’s at a complete standstill.
– Be aware of potential overtravel times for the drives.
• Mount all of the components on the profile plate securely.
• Make sure that limit switches are not actuated from the front.
• Risk of injury during troubleshooting!
Use a tool such as a screwdriver to actuate the limit switches.
• Set all components up in a way that makes it easy to activate the switches and disconnectors.
• Follow the instructions regarding positioning of the components.

Electrical safety
• Disconnect from all sources of electrical power!
– Switch off the power supply before working on the circuit.
– Please note that electrical energy may be stored in individual components.
Further information on this issue is available in the data sheets and operating
instructions included with the components.
• Use protective extra-low voltage only: max. 24 V DC.
• Establishing and disconnecting electrical connections
– Electrical connections may only be established in the absence of voltage.
– Electrical connections may only be disconnected in the absence of voltage.

X © Festo Didactic 551150

• Use only connecting cables with safety plugs for electrical connections.
• When laying connecting cables, make sure they’re not kinked or pinched.
• Do not lay cables over hot surfaces.
– Hot surfaces are identified with a corresponding warning symbol.
• Make sure that connecting cables are not subjected to continuous tensile loads.
• Always pull on the plug when disconnecting connecting cables; never pull the cable.

Hydraulic safety
• Depressurize the system!
– Switch off the hydraulic unit before working on the circuit.
– Check the system with pressure gauges to make sure that the entire circuit is fully depressurized.
– Please note that energy may be stored in reservoirs.
Further information on this issue is available in the data sheets and operating
instructions included with the components.
• Limit system pressure to 6 MPa (60 bar).
• Maximum permissible pressure for all devices included in the training package is 12 MPa (120 bar).
In the case of double-acting cylinders, pressure could be increased relative to the surface area ratio due
to pressure boosting. With a surface area ratio of 1:1.7 and a system pressure of 6 MPa (60 bar), it may
amount to more than 10 MPa (100 bar).
• Risk of injury due to oil temperatures of greater than 50° C!
Escaping hydraulic fluid with a temperature of greater than 50° C may result in burns or scalding.
• As a rule, the components (devices, valves, hoses) are equipped with self-sealing quick-release
couplings.
– Exceptions include connections on components which are not designed for full operating pressure.
For safety reasons, these components have open couplings.
• Risk of injury when switching the hydraulic unit on!
Cylinders may advance and retract automatically.
• Connecting the hoses
– Never connect or disconnect the hoses when the hydraulic unit is running, or while under pressure!
Couplings must be connected in the pressure-free state.
– Place the coupling socket vertically onto the coupling nipple.
The coupling socket and the coupling nipple must not be fitted askew.
– After each disconnection, make sure that the couplings have closed themselves!
• Observe a maximum tightening torque of 20 Nm when fitting coupling nipples or coupling sockets.

© Festo Didactic 551150 XI

 • Setting up the hydraulic circuit
– The hydraulic unit and the electrical power pack must be switched
off while setting up the circuit.
– Before commissioning, make sure that all tank lines and leakage oil lines have been connected
and that all couplings have been fitted securely.
– Make sure that hosing lines connected to the cylinder are rinsed with hydraulic fluid,
if the volume of oil accommodated by the cylinder is less than the volume which can
be contained by the hose line.
• Commissioning
– Cylinders may only be commissioned with their covers in place.
– Switch on the electrical power supply first, and then the hydraulic unit.
• Dismantling hydraulic circuits
– Make sure that pressure has been relieved before dismantling the circuit.
– Switch off the hydraulic unit first, and then the electrical power pack.
• If connections are decoupled while under pressure, pressure is trapped in the device by the check valve
in the coupling. This pressure can be vented with the pressure relief unit.

Mounting technology
The mounting boards for the devices are equipped with mounting variant A, B, C or D:
• Variant A, snap-in system
Lightweight devices that cannot be subjected to loads (e.g. directional control valves). Simply clip the
components into the slots on the slotted profile plate. Release the components by turning the blue
lever.
• Variant B, rotary system
Devices with medium load capacity (e.g. drives). These components are clamped to the slotted profile
plate with T-head bolts. The blue knurled nut is used for clamping and loosening.
• Version C, screw system
For devices that will be subject to heavy loads and that will rarely need to be taken off the slotted profile
plate (e.g. shutoff valve with filter regulator). These devices are fastened with socket head screws and
T-head nuts.
• Variant D, plug-in system
Lightweight devices with lock pins that cannot be subjected to loads (e.g. indicator units). These are
secured with plug adapters.

Required accessories
A digital multimeter is required in order to ascertain the contact ratings of pushbuttons.
Current is measured with the digital multimeter.

Setting up a hydraulic workstation

Learning objectives
After completing this exercise:
• You’ll be familiar with the setup and function of a hydro pump.
• You’ll be familiar with the most important characteristics of a hydro pump.
• You’ll be able to select a hydraulic unit on the basis of specified requirements.

Description of the problem

A new hydraulic workstation needs to be set up in the training department. Size NG 4 components are used.
Maximum operating pressure is limited to 6 MPa (60 bar). A 230 V AC electrical outlet is available. A suitable
hydraulic unit must be selected.

2. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of a hydro pump.
3. Calculate the efficiency of a hydro pump.
4. Select a hydraulic unit on the basis of the specified requirements.

• Web-based training: Hydraulics

1. Setup and function of a hydro pump

Information
Hydro pumps are displacement pumps which function on the basis of “suction and displacement”.
We differentiate amongst three basic types of hydro pumps on the basis of displacement volume:
• Constant displacement pump: Constant displacement volume
• Variable displacement pump: Adjustable displacement volume
• Control pump: Displacement volume is controlled on the basis of pressure,
volumetric flow rate and power

The hydro pump generates volumetric flow (but no pressure). The delivery rate per revolution and
the drive speed dictate the pump’s delivery rate which is specified in liters per minute.

Pressure only occurs as the result of resistance to pump delivery, for example flow resistance, load
resistance and pressure relief valve settings. Pressure is specified in MPa or bar.

 Exercise 1 – Setting up a hydraulic workstation

a) Describe the function of the gear pump shown in the figure.

Gear pump – cutaway view, 1: trapped fluid, 2: pressure chamber, 3: suction chamber

Gear pumps are constant-displacement pumps, because the displaced volume which is determined by
the gear tooth gap is unchangeable.

The gear pump functions on the basis of the following principle:

• One gear wheel is connected to the drive unit, and the other rotates along with it via the toothing.
• As a result of the increase in volume which occurs when a tooth leaves a gear tooth gap, a partial
vacuum is generated in the suction chamber.
• The hydraulic fluid fills the tooth chambers, and is conveyed along the housing wall and
into the pressure chamber.
• Here, the hydraulic fluid is displaced from the tooth chambers and into the hydraulic lines by the
teeth which then enter the tooth gaps.

Training notes
Trapped fluid is located in the tooth gaps between the suction chamber and the pressure chamber.
This is fed to the pressure chamber via a slot, because pressure peaks would otherwise occur due
to compression of the trapped oil which would result in noise and destruction of the pump.

Pump leakage oil quantities are determined by the size of the gap (between housing, tooth crests
and the sides of the teeth), overlapping of the gears, viscosity and speed.

2. Calculating the volumetric flow rate of a hydro pump

Information
Displacement volume V (also known as delivery rate or pump capacity) is a measure of the pump’s
size. It designates the liquid volume which is delivered by the pump per revolution (or stroke).

The volume of liquid delivered per minute is referred to as volumetric flow rate q (delivery rate).
This results from displacement volume V and speed in RPM n:

q= n ⋅ V

3. Calculating the efficiency of a hydro pump

Information
Pumps convert mechanical power into hydraulic power, which always involves power loss that’s
expressed in terms of efficiency.

Effective power Phyd generated by the pump depends upon operating pressure p and effective
delivery rate qeff. Effective power is calculated with the equation:

Phyd= p ⋅ qeff

Volumetric efficiency is the relationship between the pump’s effective delivery rate and its
theoretically calculated delivery rate.
