6 basic principles of hydraulics
Definition
1. Lever -simple rigid bar
2. Inclined Plane A slope used to increase the distance an object travels when being raised
3. Wedge-
4. Screw- Inclined plane rapped around a rod (actuator
5. Pully- Allows direction of force to be changed
6. Wheel and axle- A device to increase the force of movement
Term
ENergy
Definition
The mechanical work put into generating flow, pressure, and speed in the hydraulic oil that can be converted to mechanical output
Term
inertia
Definition
a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
Term
velocity
Definition
The speed at which a fluid travels, usually given as feet or millimeters per second
Term
Torque
Definition
Turning force usually measured in pounds per inch and foot or newton-meters
Term
Kinetic energy
Definition
The result of mechanical work put into generating velocity in hydraulic fluid
