INSTRUCTIONS Answer ALL Questions

CLO 2 1. Draw the symbols of hydraulic components that are listed below:
i. Hydraulic pump
ii. Hydraulic cylinder
iii. Check valve
iv. Flow control valve
v. Accumulator
vi. Hydraulic motor
vii. Directional control valve 4/2 way manual actuation pressure relief valve

CLO 1
2. Describe TWO (2) functions of a hydraulic pressure relief valve.
Answers:

CLO 1
3. Sketch and describe the working principle of a gear type pump to generate power in the
hydraulic pump.
 CLO 2 4. Given the following hydraulic components
i. single acting cylinder
ii. 3/2 way single acting solenoid valve

Draw the complete electro-hydraulic circuits for control cylinder extend and retract by
indirect control valve.

CLO 1 5. Calculate the force output for double acting cylinder with a piston diameter of 100mm
and a rod diameter of 25mm. The minimal pressure is 500 kPa (5 bar) and internal
friction loss of the actuator is 12% of its theoretical force. Calculate both the extension
and the retraction force for a double acting cylinder.

CLO 1
6. Mounting is important in the installation of pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. List FIVE (5)
types of mounting used in pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder.

CLO 2 7. The piston rod of a double acting cylinder is to extend when 4/3 way valve mid position
closed is actuated. The cylinder will remain extended until the 4/3 way valve is actuated
to another position then the cylinder will return to the initial position. You need to draw a
hydraulic circuit diagrams three hydraulics circuit diagrams in accordance with:
i. The extend speed of the cylinder can be controlled using metering o
ii. The retract speed of the cylinder can be controlled using metering
iii. The retract and the extend speed of the cylinder can be controlled using metering
in

CLO 2 8. Construct and explain the methods of pressure and flow control in hydraulics system
actuator.

CLO 1 9. List FOUR types of hydraulic pump.

CLO 1
10. There are several factors that should be prioritized in the selection of a pump. State
FIVE (5) factors.

CLO 1
11. There are two types of actuator in the hydraulic system of the actuator cylinder and
motor generator. Draw an example of each actuator and describe the differences
between the two actuators.
CLO 1 12. Explain FIVE functions of components in a basic hydraulic circuit.
 .
CLO 2
13. Differentiate the operations for open system and closed system for hydraulic circuit
system and draw a circuit each of them.

CLO 1 14. Select the best EIGHT (8) characteristics of hydraulic fluid.

CLO 1 15. State FIVE (5) main problems in hydraulic system.

CLO 1 16. Give FOUR (4) main functions fluid hydraulic

17. Explain how is the viscosity of an oil affected by:

CLO 1

18. A pump designed to work at 150bars and has a life span and has a life span of 4800
CLO 1
hours with the maximum speed of 2000 rpm.
i. If the pump is to work at 300 bars, calculate the new life span.
ii. If the speed of the pump is twice than the maximum speed, calculate new life
span.

CLO 1
19. Explain how can a pump be protected from overloading?

CLO 1
20. List THREE ( 3 ) accumulator function and sketch the hydraulic circuit that uses an
accumulator

21. What are the reasons to prefer pneumatic systems over hydraulic systems and electrical
CLO 1
systems?

CLO 1 22. Spool type of directional control valve is one of the most important components of the
hydraulic system. With a labeled sketch, explain how the function of Spool type directional
control valve. END
