INTRODUCTION
HYDRAULICS IS BASED ON A VERY

SIMPLE FACT OF NATUREYOU CANNOT COMPRESS A LIQUID

AIRCRAFT HYDRAULICS IS DEFINED AS

A SYSTEM WHERE LIQUID UNDER PRESSURE IS USED TO TRANSMIT ENERGY

Pascals Law
Pressure exerted on a fluid in an enclosed container is transmitted equally and undiminished to all parts of the container and acts as right angles to the enclosing walls.

BASIC COMPONENTS
RESERVOIR
POWER PUMPS CHECK VALVES

SELECTOR VALVES
ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE REGULATOR

HAND PUMPS
ACTUATOR

THE FUNCTION OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM POWER PUMPS IS TO CHANGE MECHANICAL HORSEPOWER TO HYDRAULIC HORSEPOWER

Medium volume of fluid under pressure.

Moves a large volume of fluid under low pressure

THESE ARE HYDRAULIC DEVICES WHICH PERMIT FLOW OF FLUID IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY

HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
The fluid used in aircraft hydraulic systems is

one of the systems most important parts.

The

fluid must flow with a minimum of opposition. Must be incompressible Good lubricating properties Inhibit corrosion and not attack seals Must not foam in operation

ACCUMULATOR

All accumulators consist of a high strength container divided by some form of movable partition into toe sections, or compartments. One compartments connected to the hydraulic pressure manifold, and the other is filled with compressed air or with nitrogen.

Accumulators

ACTUATOR
THE FUNCTION OF ACTUATING CYLINDER IS TO

TAKE THE PRESSURE AND HYDRAULIC FLUID FLOW AND CHANGE THEM INTO EITHER LINEAR OR ROTARY MOTION

TYPES OF ACTUATOR
SINGLE PISTON ,SINGLE ROD
SINGLE PISTON ,DOUBLE ROD DOUBLE PISTON DOUBLE ROD

PRESSURE REGULATOR
PURPOSE
TO REDUCE THE LOAD ON THE HYDRAULIC

PUMP TO KEEP THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WITHIN THE OPERATING RANGE

HAND PUMPS
THE HAND PUMP CONVERTS THE HUMAN

POWER TO HYDRAULIC HORSEPOWER

ADVANTAGES
Two major advantages

Ease with which force can be transmitted over large distances and into sealed compartments.

Large gain in mechanical advantage made possible by varying the size of pistons.

IT IS LIGHTER IN WEIGHT THAN ALTERNATE EXISTING SYSTEMS IT IS RELABLE IT CAN BE EASILY MAINTAINED IT CAN DEVELOP UNLIMITED FORCE AND

TORQUE

ANY QUERIES???
