    Hydraulic Lift
AI Thread Summary
Hydraulic mechanisms are effective for lifting heavy objects with minimal force, but concerns about fluid leakage, particularly oil, are significant. Preventing leaks involves advanced sealing technology, which is essential for systems like hydraulic brakes in vehicles. Manufacturers like Parker provide detailed engineering resources on hydraulic seals that can help users understand these mechanisms better. Additionally, when designing systems involving steam and condensate, the mass flow rate remains constant, but the volume flow rates differ, necessitating different pipe diameters. Addressing oil leakage at the joints of hydraulic cylinders is a common installation challenge that requires careful attention to sealing methods.

Dear Experts

I like Hydraulic mechanisms as it can be used to lift heavy things with little force.

I like to find out more about it.

1. How is leaking prevented ? Fluid is used to transfer the energy. For example, oil. It is so fine, how can the oil not ooze from the piston-cylinder gap?

Or how is such situation mitigated? For example , hydraulic brake system used in a car. How is it made practical and safe given the oil is so fine it can ooze out of the hydraulic system when under pressure?


Have a nice day.

Modern hydraulic sealing technology is incredibly amazing, far beyond the scope of this forum. I'd suggest that you go look at the catalogs from the seal manufacturers. Most have engineering details sections that would help you understand much. You might start with Parker, but a Google search would yield a very large number of such suppliers.
 


Thanks for your information.

Have a nice day.
 


Is the flowrate and velocity of a steam pipe and that of the condensate going back to the boiler the same? if so, when designing, do you design them both to be the same pipe diameter (that of the condensate and steam)?
 


Mass flow rate is the same. Volume flow rate is much different. Speed is whatever you design it to be. The two pipes are two entirely different designs.

Connect 2 hydraulic cylinders

Hello anyone please help me,

I found the oil leakage at the joint of two hydraulic cylinders when I installing lift. Then how to connect 2 hydraulic cylinders?
Thanks :)

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
