Lap 2 - Basic Hydraulic Circuits

Introduction:

This LAP will explore two new components: motors and needle valves. Both of which are often used in hydraulic circuits.

The first segment will continue to discuss hydraulic pumps, the last segment will explain the interpretation and creation of hydraulic schematics. These are important skills to know when working with fluid power.

Objectives:

- Define flow rate and explain how it can be measured.
- Describe the operation of two types of flowmeters and give their schematic symbol.
- Describe the operation of a fixed-displacement pump and give its schematic symbol.
- Describe the operation of three types of fixed-displacement pumps and give an application of each.
- Describe the function of a needle valve.
- Describe the operation of a needle valve and give its schematic symbol.
- Describe the function of a hydraulic motor and give an application.
- Describe the operation of a hydraulic motor and give its schematic symbol.
- List three types if hydraulic motors and give an application of each.
- Describe eight basic rules for drawing hydraulic schematics.
