How hydraulics affect machine performance

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: The engineering of an add-on valve system can affect machine performance. A machine control system sales representative/installer who understands the effect of everything he adds to a hydraulic system is able to offer his customer top value for his money. An installer who does not understand the relationship among all the components of a hydraulic system is likely to leave his customer with unsatisfactory system performance and possibly with a damaged hydraulic system.

Output power from a hydraulic system

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: The output power from a hydraulic system cannot increase if the input power to the hydraulic system does not increase. In other words, the power capability of any hydraulic system is limited by the available power from the engine or electric motor that drives the pump. Additionally, although the engine may have power to spare, an increase in hydraulic system output power depends not only on engine power capability but also on the ability of the hydraulic system to transmit power from the engine. Need help troubleshooting? Call our team of certified fluid power specialists today at 901-794-4884, or visit us online at http://www.flinthyd.com/engineering_design_services.html.

Force and Speed in Hydraulic System

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: The relationship between force and speed applies to all motion, no matter the means of transmitting power. When power is transmitted through a hydraulic system, speed is measured as flow rate - usually gallons per minute - and force is measured as pressure - usually pounds per square inch. An increase in speed or force means the power requirement goes up. If the flow rate (speed) of a hydraulic system doubles, the power from the system doubles. If the pressure (force) doubles, the power output of the system doubles. If both flow rate and pressure double, the output power of the system quadruples. Want to maximize your system's efficiency?

Work and power in hydraulic systems

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Work is the transmission of force through distance and is expressed mathematically as Work = Force x Distance. Power is the rate at which work is done and is expressed mathematically as Power = Work ÷ Time. We know that one Horsepower is equal to 33,000 lb.-ft. per minute. So if a 200-pound man carries a 200-pound load up a 20-foot staircase in one minute, the power required will be (400 pounds x 200 feet/minute) ÷ 33,000 = .24 Horsepower.

Force = Pressure x Area


Here’s another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Pascal’s Law is the physical basis upon which the entire fluid power discipline is based. Mathematically, it is stated as Force = Pressure x Area, where force is measured in pounds, pressure is measured in pounds per square inch, and area is measured in square inches. It’s important to note that pressure is NOT the same as force; pressure is a measure of force per unit area – for example, pounds per square inch.
