MEC-E5003 Fluid Power Basics Calculation Exercises 3 Spring 2017

The document describes two hydraulic system exercises. The first involves calculating the pressure gauge reading and maximum pump power needed during the lifting phase of a system that uses both a hydraulic cylinder and motor-driven winch to lift masses. The second asks to calculate the diameter setting for throttle 3 to equally divide the pump flow at a pipe intersection, given the fixed diameters of throttles 1, 2, and 4.

Calculation Exercises 3
Spring 2017

EXERCISE 7

The hydraulic system in underlying figure is used for lifting masses using both a cylinder and a
hydraulic motor operated winch. When the valve is set to the “right” switching position the lifting
phase commences
Explain the operation of the system at lifting phase and calculate the following:
a) Reading of the pressure gauge
b) Maximum power needed at the axle of the pump.

Cylinder data: Piston diameter d1 = 100 mm, rod diameter d2 = 50 mm


hm,c = 0.9, v,c = 1.0
Mass to be lifted m1 = 8000 kg

Motor data: Vg,m = 160 cm3/r


hm,m = 0.85, t,m = 0.81
Leakage of motor: external
Mass to be lifted m2 = 150 kg, diameter of spool ds = 0,5 m

Pump data: Vg,p = 5 cm3/r


hm,p = 0.9, v,p = 0.8
Rotational speed of the electric drive motor n = 1500 r/min

EXERCISE 8

The underlying system is used in studying the division of flows in hydraulic systems. All the
throttles are circular in cross-section and all their characteristics are identical except the
diameters. The throttles 1, 2, 4 are of fixed size: dt1 = 4 mm, dt2 = 8 mm and dt4 = 5 mm.

Calculate what the diameter setting of throttle 3 should be to achieve the situation where the pump
flow is divided into two pipe flows of equal size at the pipe branching (in figure marked as
“Intersection 1”)?
