ABSTRACT
The project is aimed at the Design of hydraulic Power pack for vertical turning lathe.
This Hydraulic Power pack is used to obtain the various motions of the Vertical
Turning Lathe Clamping and unclamping is also done with hydraulic system. Hence
versatility and reliability of hydraulics is prime importance. The Power pack is an
integral supply unit usually containing a pump, reservoir, relief valve and direction
control valve, Pressure control valve. For the purpose of design of hydraulic Power
pack, the component is to be designed are pump, reservoir, heat exchanger and an
electric motor. Hydraulic drives and controls have become more important due to
automation and mechanization. Many of the modern and Powerful machinery are
controlled partly or completely by hydraulics. Hydraulic system is less complicated
and has fewer moving parts. Today drive and control system engineering is
inconceivable without hydraulics. Special emphasis is made on design of Power pack
in which the elements, maintenance aspects and trouble-shooting methods is dealt
with.

CHAPTER - 1
INTRODUCTION TO HYDRAULIC POWER PACK
The word hydraulics is derived from the Greek word hydro means water. The term
hydraulics means the transmission and control of forces and movement by means of
fluid. The Power pack is an integral Power supply unit, which basically determines
the working of the control unit. Power packs offer capacities, control options and
configuration for virtually any application requirement. A wide variety of manifold
options and choice of pumps enables customers to match any application requirement
with a Power pack that meets his system, at the same time ensuring cost effective
operation and optimum productivity. A hydraulic Power pack offers a simple method
of introducing hydraulic Operation to individual machines, with flexibility of being
adaptable to other duties.
It consists basically of an integral electrical motor, with associated tank. The pump or
motor unit may be mounted on the tank or separately and packs are usually available
in either horizontal or vertical configuration. Relief and check valves are normally
incorporated on the tank. The basic unit may be piped to the cylinders or actuators
through a suitable control valve. Hose assemblies are generally preferred to rigid
piping for connecting the Power pack to actuators. The hydraulic Power packs consist
of a reservoir / tank that house the hydraulic fluid, which is the working medium. The
capacity of the tank may vary accordingly to the requirements. The reservoir is also
equipped with an air breather at the top to maintain the pressure in the tank at the
atmospheric pressure and filters the oil to 40 microns.

The field of hydromechanics (Fluid Mechanics) is broken down as follows: -
HYDROSTATICS: -
Hydrostatic is the mechanics of still fluid.
EXAMPLE: - Transfer of force in hydraulic.
HYDRODYNAMICS: -
Hydrodynamics is the mechanics of moving fluid.
EXAMPLE: -Conversion of flow energy in turbines in Hydroelectric Power plants.
1.1 Special characteristics of Hydraulics
High forces with compact size, i.e., high Power density.
Automatic force adoption.
Movement from standstill possible under full load.
Step less change (control or regulation) of speed, torque, stroke force etc. can be
achieved simply.
Simple overload protection.
Suitable for controlling fast movement proves and for extremely slow precision
movements.
Relatively simple accumulation of energy by means of gas.
1.2 Why Hydraulic power pack?
It eliminates the need of complicated linkages, gears, cam and leavers.
It has a medium of power transmission of the fluid. Which is not subjected any
breakage like parts (or) mechanical transmission.
It consists of parts, which are not subjected to great wear like the parts of then
mechanical components.
It has a less complex construction when compared to a pneumatic system.
It also has a noise free operation when compared to the sound generated by
compressor in pneumatic system.
2
Since the pressure is force per unit area, it has units of N/m 2 in SI system. Another
name for the SI unit of pressure is pascal (pa). 1P = 1N/m2
Pressure acts on all sides equally and simultaneously. It is equal at all points this is
valid with emission of the gravity force, which to be added to the fluid level.

1.4.1 Flow configurations
1. Laminar flow: laminar flow. Smooth, orderly movement of a fluid, in which
there is no turbulence, and any given subcurrent moves more or less in parallel
with any other nearby subcurrent. Laminar flow is common in viscous fluids,
especially those moving at low velocities.
2. Turbulent flow: Turbulent flow, type of fluid (gas or liquid) flow in which the
fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations, or mixing, in contrast to laminar flow, in
which the fluid moves in smooth paths or layers.
4
Electric or diesel motors: -An electric motor is an electro-mechanical device that
converts the electric energy into mechanical energy. That is it converts electrical
energy to magnetic energy then to rotational force.
1. Tank/Reservoirs: - A hydraulic tank is a container that holds the fluid that
you’ll supply to the system to do the work.
2. Valves: - Valves are devices that control the flow of fluid in hydraulic
systems. They regulate flow by cutting-off, diverting, providing an overflow
of the hydraulic fluid, among other functions.
3. Suction filtes+sssssrs: - Hydraulic filter removes debris or impurities in the
oil before it is suctioned through the hydraulic pipe to the pump. It also helps
to keep the hydraulic system clean.
4. Manifold blocks: - A hydraulic manifold helps to regulate the fluid flow,
pressure and flow direction in hydraulic systems. It acts as a junction between
the hydraulic pump and hydraulic actuators.
5. Actuator: - A hydraulic actuator is the mechanical portion that converts
hydraulic power into useful work. This mechanical work can either be linear
motion, rotary motion or oscillatory motion.
6. Pump: - A hydraulic pump is a device that converts the mechanical energy
from the motor (rotor motion) into a hydraulic energy. The output shaft from
the electric motor is coupled to the shaft of the hydraulic pump. As the pump
rotates, it creates a pressure difference between its inlet and outlet.
1.6 Working
The working of a Power pack commences when the pump is initialized with the help
of an electric motor coupled to it. The oil is pumped from the reservoir along the
suction line through a suction strainer with a capability to retain the foreign particles
up to 149 microns. From the suction line the oil is forced in to the pressure line
through the pump at 35 bars. There is provision to measure the pressure, with the help
of a pressure gauge. An isolator is used to measure the pressure immediately in any
line. When the set of pressure is reached, the fluid moves to the cylinder present at the
fixture (clamp). The hydraulic energy of the fluid is converted back to the mechanical
energy by the cylinder. According to the direction of the energizing of the solenoid
valve, the linear movement of the clamps (clamping and unclamping) is controlled.
When the solenoid valve is energized in reverse, unclamping of the work piece
occurs. There is a return line provided so that the used fluid may be utilized again.
Due to the friction losses, total energy is not converted into the useful work so a part
is converted into the heat. So, a heat exchanger is incorporated. The return line filter
has a return capacity of 10 microns.
A vertical turret lathe works much like an engine lathe turned up on End. The
principles used to operate a vertical turret lathe are not very different from those for a
horizontal turret lathe. The only significant difference is in the main turret. And also
feed is transferred vertically toward the headstock (down), and at an angle. To cut a
taper of less than 30° and more than with a main turret-held tool, set the turret slide
5
for the correct degree of taper and use only the vertical feed for the slide. In this type
of turret lathe, the revolving turret is mounted on a ram or a slide carried in a base
which can be clamped in any position along the bed of the machine.

and testing of an external gear pump, which will serve as a spring board for
technological transfer and development of country. The components of this gear pump
were fabricated by machining.
Dipen Rana et al., Present CFD analysis is applying for to know flow behaviour inside
the pump that cannot be captured in physical testing. This experimental simulation is
applying to simulate for 4 psi delivery pressure which is required to circulate in
punching machine.
The growth of oil hydraulics as parallel development in transportation, farm and earth
moving equipment, industrial machinery, machine tool ship control, aircraft missiles
and numerous other applications. Oil hydraulics however forms one aspects of an
overall system concept with the impact of raising cost and global shortage of fossil
fuels like coal and petroleum, the transmission system designers today are forced to
critically consider his options from the point of view of efficiency and overall
economy. These results in the introduction of oil hydraulic machine components over
the last decade, with remarkable. Increase in Power density and operating pressure,
with greater overall efficiency. This trend is likely to continue into the 1980’s with a
major breakthrough in materials and manufacturing technology.
In 1980’s we have seen the introduction of organic and synthetic fluids in a hydraulic
system on a very large scale. The coming decade shall also witness the introduction of
water based hydraulic fluids in industrial hydraulics.
The problem today is not the development of water-based fluids themselves, but in the
design of hydraulic machines and components, which uses such fluids.
The rising costs and shortages of mineral oil based hydraulic fluids will certainly
provide the incentive to switch over to water-based fluids. But various problems
which are yet to be solved, water hydraulic did not make any great impact on industry
in early half of 1990’s. However, any developments or research activities in this
sphere will be of pioneering natural and small definitely be of great help to the
organization engaged in such work. There has been specific growth in the applications
of Power during the 1960’s and 70’s. Today the application ranges from the artifices
like gigantic machine tools, injection moulding machines and presses.
These applications are likely to go proliferate further in the future. During the last two
decades oil hydraulics has made great advances in the field of farm tractors, farm
machinery and implements with world facing the challenge of feeding an ever-
increasing population, there is bound to be phenomenal growth in far mechanization.
It is the special relevance to our country where we shall have to recognize agriculture
and try to increase efficiency in cultivating large acres and producing food grains on a
large scale.

MODELLING
3.1 Design consideration
1. Space Available: The available physical-space with in which a hydraulic cylinder
or a fluid must be accommodates or dictates the size of cylinder or the fluid motor.
2. Force Required: Once the piston size is decided, the force required at the
actuator depends up on the working pressure of the system. Higher the working
pressure, lower is the size and weight of the actuator, for the same force. But it
results in many disadvantages. systems working pressure are known the Power of
the prime mover can be easily calculated. There by the size of the reservoir, the
suction strainer, the pipelines and all other valves are determined.
3. Flow Required: The speed of the actuator determines the flow capacity of the
pump.
4. Environmental Conditions: This determines whether the system should have
ordinary or fire proof hydraulic fluid in hazardous condition, shock resistance on
mobile use, nonmagnetic construction in certain applications, noise elimination
arrangement in noisy atmosphere, more filtration arrangement in a dusty
atmosphere and some special designs of mountings or fittings in typical
applications is required.

included support for drawing, a format developed and promoted by Autodesk, for
publishing CAD data.
Since the introduction of CAD, design work that once used pen and paper now uses
computers. CAD software replaces the traditional drawing board and makes design
processes faster and smarter than ever before. CAD is a feature of every industry that
produces a tangible product, from fashion to architecture. No matter what you use it
for, CAD helps us explore ideas, visualize concepts, simulate designs and produce
them.
In this article, we’ll look at how the engineering industry and its sub-disciplines use
CAD. We’ll even take a quick look at examples of CAD software used in the
industry.
CAD doesn’t just help engineers create designs; it also gives them the ability to fully
analyse their designs through simulations. Engineers can measure stress
levels, simulate the flow of fluid and calculate the tolerances of their design. Essentially,
they can figure out the strengths and weaknesses of their designs without having to
manufacture them.
CAD software locates flaws and troubleshoots problems that engineers would
otherwise only discover after production. Additionally, it can also simulate how a
prototype would function in certain environments, including extreme environments
which would be difficult to replicate in the real world. CAD packages make use
of CAE applications to aid in engineering analysis tasks.

4.3. Components of hydraulic Power pack
They include:
1. Electric or diesel motors
2. Hydraulic valves
3. Reservoirs
4. Hydraulic gear pumps
5. Suction filter
6. Air breathers for fill oil into Hydraulic Reservoirs
7. Central manifold blocks
8. Electrical Control systems, like buttons remote and wireless remote
It is these parts that are interconnected to form an electric driven Power unit, i.e., a
single component. Other Power units may have more components depending on the
complexity of the design.
1. AC & DC Electric Motors:
An electric motor is an electro-mechanical device that converts and electric energy to
mechanical energy. That is, it converts electrical energy to magnetic energy then to
rotational force.
Broadly, motors are classified in three main categories:
DC motors:
Electric motors into this category include: shunt motors, separately excited
motors, series motors, permanent magnet DC motors and compound motors.
15
AC motors:
These electric motors include induction and synchronous motors. The induction
motors are classified further as either single phase induction motors or three phase
induction motors.
Others:
Examples of motors in this category include: stepper motors, brushless DC
motors, hysteresis motors, reluctance motors and universal motors.
For the scope of this hydraulic Power pack eBook, I will focus on AC and DC
motors.
In a hydraulic circuit, electric motors convert the electrical energy into a rotational
force that drives the pump gear.
DC motor:
The electrical DC motors convert direct current into a rotational mechanical
energy. These motors use a direct Power supply whose voltage may vary from
DC12V, DC24V, DC48V or DC96V; depending on the design specification of the
hydraulic Power pack system.
How DCMotorsWork
These motors have the following key parts:
A stator that provides the magnetic field. For most portable equipment, the stator
is a permanent magnet.
An armature (also referred to as the rotor in this case) that connects to a DC Power
supply via commutator rings. It’s a coil that conducts electrical energy.
As the current flows through the coil, an electromagnetic force is induced. This
causes the coil to rotate. Of course, this is according to the Lorentz law.
When the coil is perpendicular to magnetic flux, the torque action will be zero.
Therefore, to ensure smooth operation, there should be more conductor coils.
In practical applications, a DC motor has more rotor loops with different pairs of
commutators. The armature loops are always in a slot of highly permeable steel
layers.
For large DC motors that are commonly found in large hydraulic systems, the
electric motor manufacturers use electromagnet instead of permanent magnets.
That is, the field coil of the electromagnet is Powered from the DC source that
Powers the armature. Depending on the type of connection, you’ll have either a
shunt or series DC motor.
The complexity of the design will depend on the type load the motor should drive.
In the case of the hydraulic Power packs, we have a hydraulic pump as the load.
16
DC motors have variable speed control.
They have a high starting torque.

from the inlet of the pump to its outlet. The change of pressure will drive the liquid
throughout the system.

Fig 4.5. Horizontal Centrifugal Pump
All the phases are in a similar shelter & mounted on a similar shaft. On a solo
horizontal shaft, minimum eight otherwise additional stages can be mounted. Every
stage enhances the head by around an equal amount. Multi-stage pumps can also be
single otherwise double suction on the first impeller. All kinds of pumps have been
providing as well as servicing this type of centrifugal pumps.
Submersible Pumps
These pumps are also named as storm water, sewage, and septic pumps. The
applications of these pumps mainly include building services, domestic, industrial,
commercial, rural, municipal, & rainwater recycle applications
19
Positive displacement pumps are classified into different types but some of them are
discussed below like diaphragm, gear, peristaltic, lobe, and piston pumps.
Diaphragm Pumps
Diaphragm pumps also known as AOD pumps (Air operated diaphragms), pneumatic,
and AODD pumps. The applications of these pumps mainly include in continuous
applications like in general plants, industrial and mining. AOD pumps are particularly
employed where Power is not obtainable, otherwise in unstable and combustible
regions. These pumps are also utilized for transferring chemical, food manufacturing,
underground coal mines, etc.
20
for measuring & blending and also capable of pumping a variety of liquids like
toothpaste and all kinds of chemicals.
3. Piston Pumps
Piston pumps are one kind type of positive dislocation pumps wherever the high force
seal responds through the piston. These pumps are frequently used in water irrigation,
scenarios requiring high, reliable pressure and delivery systems for transferring
chocolate, pastry, paint, etc.
21
Fig 4.11. Piston Pumps
4. Reciprocating pump: -
Reciprocating Pumps are positive displacement machines typically used for low-flow,
high-pressure operations. ANSI and the Hydraulic Institute categorize reciprocating
pumps by four types. Both pistons and diaphragms are used to provide pumping
action while valves regulate flow into and out of the pump body.
22
Fig 4.13. Reservoir
In addition to providing storage to reserve the fluid needed for the system, the
reservoir acts as a radiator for dissipating heat from the fluid and as settling tank
where heavy particles of contamination may settle out of the fluid and remain
harmlessly in the bottom until removed by cleaning or flushing of the reservoir. Also,
the reservoir allows contained air to separate from the fluid. The inside of the
reservoir generally will have baffles to prevent excessive slashing of the fluid and to a
partition between the fluid return line and the pup suction or inlet line. The partition
forces the returning of the fluid to travel further around the tank before being drawn
back into the active system through the pump inlet line. This aids in setting the
contamination and separating the air from the fluid.
Types of Reservoir: -
The various reservoir used for the SPM are broadly classified into two groups. They
are
1.) VENTED they act purely as storage tanks.
2.) SEALED they may be pressurized or non-pressurised
Vented reservoirs are more advantageous than the sealed reservoir, in that it can be
made smaller for the same fluid volume. Care should be taken to avoid over filling,
since this will reduce the air volume and produce wider ranges of pressure during
working. There are various requirements, which a tank must be taken to meet the
specifications.
Non-pressurised Reservoir: -
Hydraulic system designed to operate equipment at sea level are normally equipped
with non-pressurized reservoirs. The ends extended below the bottom of the reservoir
and serve as supports. The bottom of the reservoir is convex, and a drain plug is
incorporated at the lower point.
3. VALVES:
Valves are the devices that control the flow of fluids. The control of the flow of fluids
is itself of various types, mainly isolation, diversion, non-return and regulation. The
regulatory function can be of various types as throttling. Pressure reducing, pressure
relief. safety relief temperature regulation etc.
23
Fig: - 4.14. Valves
Valve functioning: -Valves are used in piping system and on processing vessels or
tanks for a variety of reasons. The first step, in valve selection is to determine exactly
what is expected of the valve, i.e. what function the valve is to perform after it has
been installed. Proper evaluation of this function will determine the types of valves
suitable for that application.
GENERAL VALVE FUNCTION
i. On-off service.
ii. Throttling service.
iii. Prevention of the reverse flow.
iv. Pressure control.
v. Sampling service.
vi. Limiting flows.
vii. Special function that includes.
viii. Direction flow control.
24
iii. Operating conditions: -Corresponding and maximum and minimum pressure,
temperature must be known. A valve choice, practically in a corrosion material of
construction can be influenced greatly by these factors. This is especially true
plastic of lined valve or under consideration. Establishment of the actual
conditions of each valve simplifies valve selections procedure.
Material for construction: -
The factor is directly related to the corrosive and abrasive of fluids. In dealing with
extremely corrosive or abrasive materials. The choice of valve is limited by
availability of valves in suitable materials of construction. at times. it is desirable to
consider the construction material to the economical. The combination of operating
pressure and operating temperature will also influence the design criteria of
characteristic will determine the permissible material of construction.
Valve size: -
As all types are not available in a complete range of size, it is necessary to known
what valve size is required to perform a particular function.
1. DIRECTION CONTROL VALVES
Direction control valves are designed to direct the flow of fluid, at a desired time, to
the point in a fluid Power system where it will do work. The driving of a ram back
and forth in its cylinder is an example of a directional valves, such as selector valve,
transfer valve and control valve. They are ideal for machine tools, production and
material handling equipment, marine auxiliary Power controls, off-highway and
heavy construction equipment, oil field and farm equipment.
25
valves are smaller than line in which it is attached. The design feature prevents the
valve from throttling, which would cause the seat to wear too quickly. The disc is
moved by a pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical or manual operation actuation.
In hydraulic systems pressure regulator as used to unload the system and to maintain
and regulate pressure at the desired valves. When the system pressure decreases a
certain amount, the regulator will open sending the fluid to the system. When the
system pressure increases sufficiently, the regulator will close allowing the fluid from
the pump to flow through the regulator and back to the reservoir. The pressure
regulator takes the load of the pump and regulator system pressure.
4.4. Environmental conditions: Thus, determines whether the system should
have ordinary or fire proof hydraulic fluids in hazardous condition, shock resistance
on mobile use, non-magnetic construction in certain applications, noise elimination
arrangement in noisy atmosphere more filtration arrangement in a dusty atmosphere
and some special design of mounting or fitting in typical applications are required.
4.4.1. Economic considerationsThis is the most important factor, which must be
kept in mind while designing a hydraulic circuit. If a hydraulic machine is likely to
operate only a few hours in a month, no customer will likely to buy it, if its cost is
very high. If a hydraulic machine is likely to operate 24 hours a day, the life
expectancy of each component becomes an important consideration. The need of
frequent replacement of components will create maintenance problems and
production losses. If a hydraulic machine is likely to operate in a place where trained
personal is not available, any sophistication in the hydraulic circuit has to be avoided.

The selection of filter element for return line filter is done on the fact that is the return
line filter is to be fine so a filter of 10 is used and a paper type element is used due to
its low cost.
1. PUMP SELECTION
Pump section depends on the factors such as:
Working pressure
Maximum Power rating9max. delivery, speed, rating)
Efficiency
Control
Weight
Fluid
Noise
Cost
Maintenance
EFFICIENCY:
Where there is considerable variation in demand it is usually more efficient as regards
both operating and running costs, to use a variable delivery pump, although the initial
cost is high.
Efficiency may be important (where large volumes of fluids are being pumped) or
relatively insignificant (ex in a light duty system where ample input Power is
available from an inexpensive drive, or an oversize pump is to be used for a particular
reason).
SPEED:
Pump speed, governs the actual delivery operating speed limits are set by the design
of the pump, while desirable running speeds are set by the normal running speed of
the driver.
NOISE:
S.NO Quietest running pump
1 Screw
2 Lobe rotor
3 Vane
4 Cam vane
5 Gear
6 Multi piston (seated valves)
Noise generated in pump is largely the result of sudden change between suction and
outside, thus pumps which produce high localized pressures are likely to be nosier
than those providing a more gradual pressure change.
COST:
Probably in majority of applications the initial cost is of secondary importance, to
perform and other factors – pump cost, therefore only becomes a major factor for
selection after all other requirements have been met.
31
Lowest cost first
1. simple external gear
2. Vane
3. Precision external gear
4. Rotary abutment
5. Screw
6. Multi-piston
Despite of the many factors to be considered on selection of pump, in this case the
important factors, which were considered, are the flow rate, comparatively least cost,
variable delivery requirement, and noise. So, a variable displacement vane pump
(with a flow rate of 26LPM) was selected for use.

calculation of total pressure loss in the system:
Here for effective design considerations the maximum values among the loss of
pressure values are selected. Therefore, the maximum value is 4.644 bar of cross rail
movement. There are two such lines connected to the system so maximum loss of

5.2.1. Symbols of hydraulic power pack: -
The motor
You need to check if the motor is in good working condition. That is, check all the
terminals to ensure they are connected appropriately and rust free.
Cable remote
The cable could be loose from the starter relay or broken, thus there could no
continuity.
Wireless remote
At times, the receiver may be loose from the starter relay. You should inspect the
battery of the remote control to ensure they are in good condition.
The problem could be also be due to poor grounding. So, you have to inspect all
electrical connections.
2. The Motor is Running but in a Wrong Direction: -
You should check the following:
The electric motor: -
For DC motors, it could be + – inversely connected, so consider reversing the
connections.
Cable remote: -
The button may have been wired incorrectly.
Wireless remote: -
The receiver may have been wired incorrectly
So, in both cases, you may consider reversing the terminals.
3. The Motor has Not Been Developing Proper Oil Rate: -
There are always two possibilities:
The electric motor: -
Maybe the motor speed is not enough to create the required torque. So, so consider
adjusting the motor speed.Alternatively, there could be low voltage therefore, you
need to check your power source.
The hydraulic pump: -
39
The pump may not be suitable for hydraulic systems or it could faulty. So, you may
consider replacing the pump.
4. The Pump Pressure is too Low: -
In such situations, you may consider the following:
The electric motor: -
The power to the motor could too low to create the required torque to turn the pump.
That is, either the DC voltage may be too low or for AC motors, the power grid may
not match the
Specifications of the motor.
Apart from these, rust and low motor speed may hinder the electric motor from
developing the required torque.
The hydraulic pump: -
Your hydraulic pump could be defective or it may be unsuitable for the application.
So, you may consider replacing it. Also, there could be a possibility of internal
leakage. This is mainly brought about by wear and tear.
The manifold and valves: -
Relief valve of the hydraulic system could be defective or there could be a possibility
of manifold internal leakage.
Filters: -
Your filters could be blocked thus preventing the sufficient amount of hydraulic from
flowing into the system.
The hydraulic fluid: -
The viscosity of fluid could be too, and this is mainly due to very low temperatures.
Apart from all these, cylinder leakage may also cause low pump pressure.
5. specifications of the motor.
You should consider the following:

not be developing oil when the hydraulic power unit is wrongly mounted.
6. The Cylinder Runs ON
This problem could be due to the following:
The electric motor: -
It is common when the starter relay is bad. You may consider replacing it.

40
The main causes include button wrongly wired from the inside, a cable is loose from
the starter relay or the switching is too fast. Also, when the cable is loose from the
solenoid coil the cylinder may run on.
Wireless remote
This happens when the receiver is wrongly wired, switching is too fast or the receiver
is loose from the starter.
Manifold and valve: -
It occurs whenever there is internal leakages, faulty bleeding solenoid valve is
defective, relief valve has malfunctioned or the valve is dirty. At times, this could be
due to the cylinder inlet seal leakage of cylinder rod that is worn out.
7. When the Cylinder Cannot Extend
The problem could be due to the following:
Electric motor: -
For DC motors, the battery could be too low while in the case of AC motors, the
power grid may not match the AC motor specifications. Also, it may be due to low
motor power or thermal pressure lock.
Cable remote: -
The cable could be loose from starter relay, there could be a thermal pressure lock or
fast witching.
Wireless remote: -
It could be due to fast switching or the receiver may be loose from the starter relay.
Hydraulic pump: -

due to internal leakages brought by wear and tear.
Manifold & valve: -
It could be due to manifold internal leakage, directional valve not shifting properly or
solenoid valve may not have sufficient energy.
Filter: -
The filter may be blocked.
Connectors: -
This could be due to the coupling wrongly aligned, loose coupling, defective coupling
or leakage at the suction pipe.

There could be low oil level in the tank (oil not enough). Apart from these, the
problem could be due to cylinder leakage, packing on cylinder rod worn out or
hydraulic power unit could be wrongly mounted.
8. The Cylinder Cannot Hold Load
This problem could be due to:
Manifold & valve
There could be internal leakage or both the check valve and solenoid valves may be
defective.
The problem may also be as a result of cylinder inlet seal leakage or the rod getting
worn out.
41
9. The Cylinder Drops Too Slow or Cannot Drop
This is due to:
Electric motor: -

The connectors may be wrongly aligned, lose or defective. A possibility of suction
pipe leakage is also high.
At times, the problem may be due to cylinder outline seal leakage or a worn-out
cylinder rod.
11. The Start Solenoid Just Click and the Motor is Not Engaging
This is a result of:
Electric motor: -
The DC battery electric quantity insufficient or the AC power grid does not match that
of the motor. Rust may also be a contributing factor.
Cable remote: -
42
A cable may be loose from starter relay, there could be a thermal pressure lock or the
systems could be switching too fast.
Wireless remote
The receiver could be loose from the starter or the switching too fast.
Noise:
The noise is due to:

motor specifications. Rust is also another cause of noise.
Hydraulic pump: -
There could be internal leakage due to wear, unsuitable or defective pump type.
Manifold & valve: -
This could be due to internal leakages, faulty bleeding, dirty valve or defective
solenoid that may cause leakage in valves.

It could be unstable hydraulic fluid.Clearly, a hydraulic power pack may have simple,
but difficult to identify problems that can compromise its functionality. With all these,
I am sure you can identify the exact problem that may reduce the efficiency of the
hydraulic power pack.In the next chapter, you’ll learn how to manufacture a hydraulic
power.
5.3. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages of Hydraulic Power Packs: -
The advantages of hydraulic Power units include:
Hydraulic Power packs have high horse Power to weight ratio
When you compare hydraulic, mechanical and electrical system with the same
Power output, say 5hp, you’ll find that the hydraulic system is small and
lightweight. In fact, you can hold it in the palm of your hand.
They are Powerful compared to other lifting mechanisms
Hydraulic systems can create a huge amount of lifting force by applying or using
just a small amount of force. For instance, a micro or mini Power unit, with its
lightweight, can create a high lifting Power than either electric or diesel motors.
Convenient to use and install
Their small sizes make them easy to carry besides, you can install these Power units
in vertical or horizontal positions. They are also portable and you can mount them
with a clear layout.Hydraulic Power packs have fewer moving parts, unlike most
mechanical and electrical parts that use gear systems. This alone makes the system
easy and simple to install.
You can easily adjust them to various speed and lifting applications
This makes Power units a perfect choice for a wide range of speeds and weight lifting
capacities in industrial processes.
The torque and force can be held constant
Regardless of any changes in the system’s speed, a hydraulic unit can maintain a
constant force and torque throughout the operation. As a matter of fact, you can hold
either torque or force constant in any fluid transmission system. Furthermore, you can
also achieve a high torque even when the rotational speed is low. This is not always
the case for electric motors.
Hydraulic systems are stable and rapid
Hydraulic Power packs require a short period of time to lift a heavy weight to the
required height or to exert the required amount of compressive force.
They are safe and easy to control
Hydraulic systems come with overload protection valves. The remote-control
mechanism makes it simple and easy to control the operation of a hydraulic Power
unit.
You’ll find that most hydraulic units have multi-functional control system and the
motion can be reversed easily. They are also considered to be safe, especially during
an emergency stop conditions. Even in the hazardous environments, hydraulic
systems can tolerate high temperatures, thus, there will be no instances of
overheating.
44
Also, hydraulic systems are spark-free thereby eliminating the possibility of fire
outbreak.
Hydraulic units are compact units
All the basic components such as electric motors, machinery, oil, pistons, cylinders,
etc. come in a compact unit, hence easy to operate, transport, install and store. .You
can easily realize a rectilinear motion with Power packs. This is mainly due to the
movement of the hydraulic piston within the cylinder. In fact, the hydraulic piston
extend and retract linearly.They are easy to design and cost effective to run after
installation
All these reduces the cost of owning a hydraulic system and subsequent maintenance
costs.
There’s a minimal loss of Power over long distances. Hydraulic Power packs can
transmit hydraulic energy over long distance or through complex machines with small
loss in Power.
Disadvantage of Hydraulic Power Pack: -
Handling hydraulic oil can be messy
Power packs depend on hydraulic oil to generate a working force. In most cases,
handling the hydraulic oil if you’re not a professional can be messy.Moreover, at
times it can be difficult to completely eliminate the leakage.Apart from this, a
hydraulic fluid may also catch fire in case of leakages. So, avoid hydraulic fluids that
tend to be flammable.
They are sensitive to extreme temperature
Very high temperatures may affect the stability of a hydraulic Power pack. For
example, heat can destroy the hydraulic seals, causing significant pressure drop.On
the other hand, very cold temperature will result in a slow response of the hydraulic
system since the hydraulic fluid will tend to thicken.
Hydraulic actuators have a low operating efficiency
Their system efficiency may range between 40 to 55%. The electric actuators have a
system efficiency that ranges between 75 and 80%.Moreover, using a throttle to
change speed, especially over long distances may cause low transmission
efficiency.Again, as long as the hydraulic system is on, the Power pack must keep the
hydraulic system pressurized. This alone causes inefficiency since it uses Power.
High maintenance and initial installation costs
For complex systems, initial cost is likely to be high. A good example is the
standard hydraulic Power packs. Also, troubleshooting complex hydraulic systems
can be a cumbersome process. They require constant inspection to fix all sealing
problems that may cause oil pollution. Remember, a leaking Power pack may
cause damage to the skin due to fluid pressure.
It is quite evident that the hydraulic Power units have a number of advantages
compared to the disadvantages. This does not imply that they are the best
equipment.
You need to examine the task at hand to choose the most appropriate Power pack.
This will help you to choose the right equipment that is reliable and can operate
optimally.
45
Troubleshooting a hydraulic system can be a cumbersome process. However, with
comprehensive troubleshooting guide, this should be a simple problem you can
handle.
In chapter six, I will focus on how you can troubleshoot and repair simple
problems in the hydraulic Power pack systems.
5.4. Accessories:
The term accessory actually leads to a false impression, when considering the
importance of the equipment.
1. Heat Exchangers:
In a hydraulic system, part of the input is transformed into heat at various points
(valves, lines) i.e., the heats up. If the heat radiated from the tank is too low, the
induced temperature lies above the desired operating temperature, due to the amount
of heat supplied and radiated. The fluid must be cooled. The fluid must be cooled. The
cooler ensures that a certain fluid temperature is not exceeded.
46
CHAPTER - 6
INSTALLATION
Packages/units:
Before installation is carried out, ensure that the packages/units have not suffered
because of storage conditions. After ensuring that no damage has occurred to the
equipment, drain out the oil, which was filled for a long storing and plug the ports.
The draining should be only to take out the oil but not lose the oil film. Mount the
packages/unit in their respective locations.
Pipes/fittings/hose pipes:
For pipe lines use the seamless steel, cold drawn, precision steel tubes. Bending of
pipes should be carried out on suitable bending equipment. Fitting of cutting
type/welding type are used. When installing all the pipes and fittings must be
absolutely clean i.e. free from scale and all kinds of foreign matter.
Pipes, fittings/flanges, should be brushed from inside and edges should be deburred.
For small pipes sand blasting could be used only when there is absolutely no chance
of particles of sand remaining in blind holes/pockets. Otherwise pipes are picked
neutralized, rinsed and dried before assembly.
The pies, which are not taken up for immediate assembly, should be plugged to
prevent entry of metal chips/dirt because of drilling, tapping, welding or brazing being
carried out near the installation are any other possible source of foreign matter. The
dangerous chemicals are used in packing operation and therefore the same should be
stored in proper containers and handled with extreme care.
Inter connect the pipes using suitable fittings i.e. tees, elbows, crossers etc. between
various packages Power units, valve packages/gauges panels and actuators etc. as per
the installation manufacturers recommendation. The piping should be free of tension
and clamped properly for vibration free operation.
Layout the pipes such that they do not obstruct the passages. Also avoid overlapping
of the pipes.
For longer distribution lines:
Pipe size should be large enough so that the pressure drop between actuator and pump
does not exceed the allowable value. Suitable headers may be used wherever
advantageous.
Loose supplies:
Install all loose supply components at respective positions after proper cleaning and
rising. Fixing up the required fitting and inter connect them with suitable sized pipes
as shown in the circuit.
47
CHAPTER - 7
RESULT & CONCLUSIONS
After designing and selecting the required parts of the hydraulic Power pack including
calculating the Power requirements of the pump, motor, it was found that the
hydraulic clamping system is more efficient and economical compared to the
mechanical clamping system comprising of various levers, screws, cams, etc. which
are prone to overloading which is prevalent in any component clamping unit.
We also recognized the necessity of a hydraulic Power pack in an SPM, as the
component which is to be clamped rigidly can be done with less wear, smooth
running, greater accuracy and less noise. So, a hydraulic system as compared to any
other systems is more effective and efficient.
Conclusions
By employing a hydraulic system, the advantages that can be utilized as compared to
the other systems are.
Possibility of automation of all types of movements.
All the operations can be easily and infinitely controlled by using cylinders, and
linear movements can be carried out without the use of mechanical components.
Simple protection against overload can be made by means of pressure relief valve
using hydraulics.
Safe control systems without electricity for the use in the areas where there is a
danger of explosion can be predicted.
