Strainers are installed

on pipelines ahead of
Strainer valves, pumps and
regulators, in order to
protect them from the
damaging effects of fluid
and other system
contaminants.

P T Pump is a mechanical
device that converts
Pump mechanical power into
Ts
hydraulic energy.

An electrical linear
actuator converts
electrical energy into
torque by connecting
Electric motor M the motor to a lead
screw, which is then
rotated against a fixed
ball nut or threaded
lead.
 Double acting cylinder
alternates cycles of
Double acting pressurized fluid to both
cylinder sides of the piston and
creates extend and
retract forces to move
the piston rod,
permitting more control
over the movement.
Single acting cylinders
Actuator transfer the hydraulic
Single acting force in one direction
cylinder only. The cylinder may
be pulling or pushing.

Hydraulic motor is a
mechanical actuator that
Hydraulic motor converts hydraulic
pressure and flow into
torque and angular
displacement (rotation).

A two-way valve is
A generally used to control
2/2 way valve the direction of fluid flow
P
in a hydraulic circuit and
is a sliding-spool type
3 way is a three port
valve that allows flow

through the valve into a
3/2 way valve chamber, and then out
P T
through the valve
exhaust.
Directional
control Four-way, directional-
valve control valves are used
A B
to control the direction
4/2 way valve of fluid flow in a
P T
hydraulic circuit, which
controls the direction of

pressures in branches
of hydraulic systems.

It is used in hydraulic
Pressure systems working with
control Counterbalance overriding (running-
valve valve away) or suspended
load. They are designed
to create backpressure
at the return line of the
actuator to prevent
losing control over the
load.
Sequence valve is a
pressure-operated,
normally closed, poppet
Sequence valve or spool valve that
opens at an adjustable
set pressure
