Hydraulics and Pneumatic Circuit

This document discusses hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. It covers the components of a basic hydraulic circuit including the power pack, control elements, actuators, and accessories. It then provides examples of specific hydraulic circuits for controlling single and double acting cylinders, regenerative circuits, machine tools, sequencing cylinders, and pump unloading. It also discusses the use of flow control valves to control cylinder speed in meter-in, meter-out, and bleed-off circuits. Finally, it briefly mentions pneumatic circuits, synchronization circuits, tie cylinders, fail safe circuits, and hydropneumatic circuits.

CIRCUITS

Hydraulic Circuit
A hydraulic circuit may be defined as the graphical representation
of the hydraulic components in a hydraulically operated machine.
1).Hydraulic power pack:
It consist of pump drive motor, mechanical couplings, oil reservoir,
strainers, filters, coolers, etc.
2)Hydraulic control elements:
They include various types of directional control valves, pressure
control valves, flow control valves, electrical control valves.

4) System accessories:
They include pipes and other fluid conductors,
accumulators, boosters, pressure and temperature
gauges, filters, etc.
