What are the 3 basic functions of the hydraulics system?

Release Time :

2025-01-24

The internal structure of a hydraulic system can be divided into three main sections, each of which plays a vital role in the overall function of the system:

Power

This section is responsible for converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, which is essential for the operation of the system. Mechanical energy usually comes from a power plant or engine. Key components and accessories involved in this section include:

Hydraulic oil tank

Hydraulic oil filter

Electric motor or engine

Hydraulic pump


Control

The power control section regulates the flow of hydraulic oil under pressure through the system pipes, ensuring that the oil flow meets the required working conditions. This section is essential to maintaining the efficiency and safety of the system. Key components include

Flow control valve

Pressure control valve

Flow control valve


Actuation

The actuation section is where the hydraulic energy is converted back into mechanical energy to perform the intended work. This section includes various actuators that perform physical tasks. The main components of this section include

Hydraulic cylinder

Hydraulic motor

By understanding and optimizing these three main sections, the efficiency, reliability and life of the hydraulic system can be significantly improved, thereby improving performance and reducing operating costs.
