Hydraulics

Connection between hydraulic components is made using tubing and quick-coupling connectors. Connections should be

• made when the system is under pressure.

• removed when the system is under pressure.

• made and removed when the system is under pressure.

• made and removed when the system is not under pressure.

Which of the following statements is correct?

• Hydraulics enables precise positioning.

• Hydraulics enables the transmission of large forces using small components.

• Hydraulics enable start-up under heavy load

• All of the choices here

Why are hydraulic systems preferred for heavy machinery?

• They are lightweight and easy to maintain.

• They can handle very high loads and provide precise control.

• They are very quiet in operation.

• They require no energy to operate.

If you double the size of the larger pad of a hydraulic system, how much less force do you need to apply to the smaller pad to achieve the same result?

• 1/4 the force

• 1/3 the force

• 1/2 the force

• The same amount of force

What is the main function of a shut-off valve?

• It prevents fluid flow in a hydraulic line.

• It allows the adjustment of pressure in a hydraulic line.

• It regulates the direction of fluid flow in a hydraulic line.

• It allows the adjustment of flow rate in a hydraulic line.

Which of the following component is not a typical component of a hydraulic power unit?

• Pump

• Cylinder

• Filter

• Tank

Complete the following sentence: "In a hydraulic system, the main purpose of filters is to keep __________ of the hydraulic fluid at a permissible level."

• temperature

• fluidity

• contamination

• pressure

Pressure-relief valves are used to

• limit the minimum pressure in a system.

• control the flow rate in a system.

• limit the maximum pressure in a system

• control the pressure in a system
