Reading Hydraulic Schematics Lecture 9
Purpose of Hydraulic Schematics • Schematics are drawings that you can use to see how a system is put together • Schematics can be used to locate where a component is located • Useful for troubleshooting
Pumps • Uses a circle with an arrow pointing out • Denotes fixed displacement • Variable displacement has a diagonal line going through it
Motors • Similar to a pump, except the arrow is pointing in • If it has 2 arrows, it is bidirectional • A diagonal arrow means it is variable displacement
Pressure Relief Valves • The dashed line indicates internal passages • Can have a spring, or can be pressure operated (sequence valve) • Pilot operated can be marked with a P
Cylinders • Can be single or double acting • Single acting have only one port
Control Valves • Can be tandem (allows flow to tank when closed • Can be closed center (allows no flow in the system)
Control Valves • Can be open center (allows flow on both sides of the valve) • 4 way valves control double acting cylinders • 3 way valves control single acting cylinders
Filters and Coolers • Filters are shown by a diagonal box with a dotted line through it • Oil Coolers are similar except that the line is solid
Oil Reservoir Tanks • Usually one line into it, but can be several • Can be several tank symbols in one drawing, but only one common tank
Gauges • Oil temperature gauges • Oil pressure gauges
Hydraulic Check Valves • Can use a ball and seat or a spring behind the ball
Hydrostatic Transmissions • Usually a variable pump and a motor coupled together • Can use a variable motor also
Other Symbols • Other symbols are used by certain manufacturers • Usually marked or have a legend describing part • Most schematics do not place parts where they actually are on the machine • Must use other manuals to locate parts
