Hydraulic Circuit Design

This document summarizes the design of a hydraulic system for a drilling application. It includes sizing the pump capacity, determining the working pressure, calculating the horsepower needed, and selecting the reservoir size. The design calls for a 50 liter reservoir, 8 liter per minute pump powered by a 0.5 horsepower motor operating at 1440 rpm, with a working pressure of 20 kg/cm2 to power two double-acting cylinders for clamping and drilling.

Hydraulics & Pneumatics

Chapter 1: Hydraulics
(Circuit Design)
by
Dr. Mohd Fadzil Faisae
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
ffaisae@ump.edu.my
Lesson Outcome

• By the end of this lecture, student should


be able to design and analyze basic
hydraulic circuit both for single-acting and
double-acting cylinder
Content

• Parameters in Hydraulic Design


• Control of Single Acting Cylinder
• Control of Double Acting Cylinder
Introduction

• Hydraulic circuit consist of a set of


hydraulic components that performed a
designed task.
• During the hydraulic circuit design, three
factors must be considered:
1. Safety of the designed operation
2. Conduct the required function
3. Efficiency of the operation
Hydraulic circuit elements

• Each design must have following section


1. Power supply section – pump, elec
motor, engine, etc
2. Power control section – valve,
magnetic valve, plc, controller, etc
3. Drive section – cylinders, motors
What do engineer need to know?

• Usually, the user specifies the final result of


design
– Eg: Customer need a hydraulic power pack to
lift 3 tons load
• Engineer needs to get several answers before
offer for hydraulic power pack:
– For what application
– How many cylinders
– Nature of the work (lift/clamp/push etc)
Work out for the following info

• Bore size of cylinder


• Rod size of cylinder
• Stroke length
• Speed of movement required
• Expected load to take
Let customer’s requirement

• Q: For what application


– A: Special purpose of drilling
• Q: How many cylinders
– A: two double acting cylinders (1 for clamping
& 1 for drilling)
• Q: Nature of the work (lift/clamp/push etc)
– A: Clamping cylinder acting first, followed by
drilling
And the details from customer

• Bore size of cylinder (clamping = 80mm,


drilling = 63mm)
• Rod size of cylinder (standard)
• Stroke length (clamping= 20mm, drilling =
120mm)
• Speed of movement (clamping = 1.5 m/min,
drilling = 200mm/min)
• Expected load to take (clamping = 600kg,
drilling = 500 kg)
Step 1: Pump capacity
• Calculate pump capacity for hydraulic power unit (Q=n.V)
• Capacity (cm3/min) = Area of cylinder (cm2) X Speed of
movement (cm/min)

Aclamping  2
d 1 ( cm ); d 1  8 cm

 50 . 24 cm 2
Pump required  50 . 24 cm 2 x150 cm / min

 7536 cm 3  7 . 5 lit / min (1000 cc  1litre )


• For drilling, by using similar approach - pump req = 0.623 lit/
min; select 7.5 lit/min
Step 2: Working pressure

Pr essure  Force  Area

Max. working pressure = 16.05 kg/cm2


Step 3: Horsepower

Q  flowrate ( lit / min)

Power in kW   0 . 2 kW

0 . 764

• Therefore we can choose the next standard size


of electric motor; i.e. 0.5 hp, run at 1440 rpm
Step 4: Reservoir size

• Thumb rule: Reservoir should be 4 times


of flow rate of the pump
• Here, pump flow rate = 7.5 l/min, therefore,
the reservoir should be at least 30 litres
• Manufacturer standard size = 50, 75, 100,
125 litres, etc. So, 50 litres reservoir can
be chosen
Summary of basic parameters

• Reservoir capacity = 50 liters


• Pump capacity = 8 lit/min (in lieu of 7.5
lit/min)
• Motor = 0.5 hp, 1440 rpm
• Working pressure = 20 kg/cm2
