What is pressure compensated flow control valve ? Explain with sketch............

In any hydraulic circuit there are slight variations in presence of oil. When pressure changes the rate of flow changes but many circuits requires constant flow regardless of input or output pressure variations in the circuit then the pressure compensated FCV is used. It consists of hollow cylinder shaped poppet at the bottom of which there is a fixed orifice. There is a spring inside a poppet as shown in fig.

What is an accumulator ? Why accumulator is necessary for huge hydraulic pressers ?

makes available to the system whenever required. Necessity of accumulator for every huge hydraulic press: Oil requirement of the system is not continuous but intermittent. A hydraulic press needs the oil only during the lifting operation. While, during the lowering of load, holding the load or during idle period, it doesn’t not require any supply of oil. During such period, the hydraulic pump has to stop or delivered oil must be drained back to the sump. But frequent starting and stopping of pump is not desirable as it reduces the pump life.

Explain piston pump with neat sketch.............

It’s an inclined plate in axial piston pump on which all pistons are connected through piston rod. This swash plate is usually inclined. Use – It is helps to reciprocate the piston of axial piston pump while the cylinder block is rotating Working: Motor drives the shaft, which in turn rotates the entire cylinder block. The pistons are connected to inclined swash plate through piston rod. Now since swash plate is inclined and block is rotating, the piston reciprocates inside the barrel.

Draw and explain working of pressure reducing valve.........

Draw and explain working of pressure reducing valve. The main function of pressure reducing valve is to reduce the pressure in particular branch of the circuit to different level as demanded by consumer in that branch. Construction: It consists of spool and spring housed in the bore of valve body. Spring compression can be adjusted by pressure setting screw. Port P is pressure port connected to pump. Port A is consumer port requiring reduced pressure.
