Aux 2 Unit 2 Hydraulic crane Flashcards

Why might varying torque be necessary for operating a crane’s hoist motor?

B) To enable the motor to lift or lower loads of varying weights efficiently

What method is used to vary the torque output of a hydraulic hoist motor in a constant pressure system?

C) By varying the flow rate and pressure supplied to the motor

Why is pressure regulation necessary in a hydraulic system with a fixed displacement pump?

C) To maintain consistent pressure and protect the system from excessive pressure

How is the hydraulic pressure typically regulated in a constant pressure system with a fixed displacement pump?

B) By using a pressure relief valve to divert excess flow

What is an additional benefit of having an accumulator in a hydraulic system?

A) It decreases the load on the pump by providing supplementary flow during high demand

What is the primary purpose of an accumulator in a constant pressure hydraulic system?

B) To store pressurized hydraulic fluid for use when demand exceeds pump capacity

How is the speed of a hydraulic hoist motor varied in a constant pressure system?

C) By using a variable flow control valve

How is the direction of the hoist motor controlled in a hydraulic system?

B) By using a directional control valve
