Log Splitter Valve

Anonymous said...
I am building a log splitter with a log lift. I have two single spool log splitter valves with detents. Can I use them both in tandem? If so is there anything besides the hose between them needed to do it?

Impulse Test Flow Rate

Valliappan said...
I wanted to do impulse test on a cylinder in fully retracted condtion. Cylinder size Bore 100mm, Rod 60 mm, stroke 1000mm. The annular volume is 5.026 ltrs. The pressure has to be rised from zero to 410 bar in 60 mill sec and brought back to zero (sinosoidal wave). We have to do impulse at the rate of 8Hz. What will be the pump flow reqd to this impulse test assuming the cylinder is initially filled with oil and the pump is reqd to rise the pressure to 410 bar.

Stopping a Cylinder When Pressure is Lost

NL SONI said...
IT IS REQUIRED TO LOCK A VERTICAL SERVO HDRAULIC LINEAR ACTUATOR HANDLING A DEAD WEIGHT WHENEVER A LOSS OF PRESSURISED OIL SUPPLY TO THE ACUATOR. IT SHOULD INSTANTLY STOP AND GET LOCK AT THE SAME POSITION AT THE TIME OF OIL SUPPLY FAILURE.THE OPERATING PRESSURE IS ABOUT 20 BAR TO 100 BAR.KINDLY SUGGEST THE WORKABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS REQUIREMENTS.

Suction Line Oil Level

I borrowed this topic from the H & P Forum but I have seen some discussion about my posts:

If positive displacement pump is running and stopped , pump is mounted on tank and suction length above oil level is 200 mm and there is no leakage in suction line and suction chamber ,whether the oil will remain full in suction line after pump stoppage . Will it fall down ?

What happens if length is 400 mm, 800 mm, etc.

Piston Seal Leakage - Rod Down

We have a cylinder mounted with the rod pointing down. It has a weight on the end of the rod.
There is a ball valve at each cylinder port.

Assumptions:
  1. Piston seals are leaking badly
  2. Rod seal does not leak
  3. Ball valves, when closed, do not leak

What happens when the cylinder is fully retracted and both ball valves are closed?

Flow Control - Mislabeled???

How does a flow control control flow since all the oil in equals all the oil out?

Vertical Cylinder Question

Single Rod Cylinder - vertically mounted with rod up
10" Bore, 4" Rod, 10" stroke
Cap is vented to atmosphere and Rod end is plugged; assume no leakage.
Cylinder is about 3/4 extended.
What happens when a 500 lb load is applied to the rod?
