WARNING!
• I claim no originality in all these notes. These are the
compilation from various sources for the purpose of
delivering lectures. I humbly acknowledge the wonderful
help provided by the original sources in this compilation.
• For best results, it is always suggested you read the source
material.
• Of late, this has becoming supplement to what is taught in
the class. So BEWARE! You are on two tracks!

Hydraulic devices
• They are used in hydraulic feedback systems and in
combined electro-mechanical-hydraulic systems.
• In hydraulic devices, power is transmitted through
the action of fluid flow under pressure and the fluid
is incompressible.
• The fluid used are petroleum based oils and non –
inflammable synthetic oils.

Classification of hydraulic devices
• Hydraulic devices used in control systems are generally
classified as hydraulic motors and hydraulic linear actuators.
• The output of a hydraulic motor is rotary motion and that
of linear actuator is translational. The hydraulic motor is
physically smaller in size than an electric motor for the same
output.
• Applications are power steering and brakes in automobiles,
steering mechanisms in large ships, control of machine tools
etc.

Advantages of hydraulic devices
• Hydraulic fluid acts as a lubricant and coolant
• Comparatively small sized hydraulic actuators can
develop large forces or torques
• Hydraulic actuators can be operated under
continuous, intermittent reversing and stalled
conditions without damage
• Hydraulic actuators have a higher speed of response.
They offer fast starts, stops and speed reversals.

Advantages of Hydraulic devices
• With availability of both linear and rotary actuators,
the design has become more flexible.
• Because of low leakages in hydraulic actuators, when
loads are applied the drop in speed will be small.
• Hydraulic components are more rugged than their
counterparts

Disadvantages of hydraulic devices
• Hydraulic power is not readily available compared to electric
power
• Inherent problems of leaks and sealing them against foreign
particles
• Operating noise
• Costs more compared to electrical system
• Fire and explosion hazards exist
• Hydraulic lines are not flexible as electric cables
• Highly non linear response
