Chapter 6 – Hydraulic Systems - Ancillary Devices

Additional Example:

Figure 1 shows the duty cycle of a hydraulic circuit. Design an accumulator if the size of the pump is

required to be minimum. The maximum system pressure is 200bar, the working pressure is 150 bar and ߛ

is 1. If the overall efficiency of the pump is 85%, what is the required horsepower of the electric motor?

Chapter 7 – Hydraulic Systems - Circuit Design

Example 1: (Case Study) A single acting up stroking moldings press has a cylinder diameter of 400 mm,

a stroke of 250 mm of which 225 mm is to close the dies onto the work-piece at a cylinder pressure of 20

bar. The final 25 mm stroke is to be at a cylinder pressure of 350 bar. The press is to produce 60

components per hour, The breakdown of the required operating time is:

 Rapid approach 225 mm = 5 seconds

 Pressing over final 25 mm = 5 seconds

 Cure time (i. hold under full thrust)=25 seconds

 Return time= 15 seconds

 Unload and reload press= 10 seconds

 Total cycle time=60 seconds

Solution (1)-Analyze the shown proposed circuit and find the efficiency for this circuit.

Solution (2)-Other circuit has been designed using an accumulator? How can it increase the efficiency?

Hint: In this study, ignore the required electrical control circuit!
