What is Fluid Power? CHALLENGING CONVENTIONAL THINKING By Andrew Smulski, President, Fluid Conveyance, Danfoss Power Solutions

» IF YOU WERE asked to envision a fluid

power application, what would come to mind? Depending on your role in the industry, it might be a tractor pulling an implement over rolling hills or an excavator moving dirt at a construction site. Perhaps it’s an injection molding machine or a hydraulic press operating in a factory humming with activity. These would all, of course, be logical examples of fluid power. But what about the rows of racks in a modern data center? Or the electric vehicles parked at a nearby charging station? Would

04 | February 2024

you consider those to be fluid power applications? I do – let me explain why. Fluid power has always included hydraulics and pneumatics. (Those of us on the hydraulics side of the business sometimes forget that a fluid can be a liquid or a gas.) If fluid power means the transmission of power from one place to another via liquid or gas, then applications such as thermal management can be considered fluid power. We’re transmitting cooling power to batteries or servers or other components that need it. Fluid power is evolving beyond hydraulics and pneumatics. It now includes software, cloud services, electronic controls, and automation – in other words, much more than the components we’ve traditionally supplied. As an industry, we've struggled with this idea. Look no further than the abundant “Are electrics going to take over hydraulics” articles as proof. We faced the same moment of reckoning when electrohydraulics emerged a few decades ago. And yet here we are. We've always thought of ourselves as one type of industry with a defined set of markets. This needs to change. As we did then, we continue to evolve with the times: we embrace change, find new markets, and develop new competencies. And this is important as we enter what’s predicted to be a down cycle this year. Construction and agriculture equipment spending may slow, but other markets are seeing significant investments: infrastructure, civil projects, industrial facilities, and data centers are among them.

Data centers are one of the fastest-growing markets. These facilities require a significant number of hoses and fittings as the industry turns to more efficient liquid cooling methods. Electric vehicles have more hydraulic content (in the form of hoses and fittings) than traditional combustion engine vehicles because of the thermal management and cooling needs. And let’s not forget the pneumatic side of the business. Many modern warehouses and fulfillment centers use fluid power-based automation technologies. The point is, regardless of the macro environment, there is a growing market for fluid power components because of new entrants and adjacencies as well as new technologies. As we think about who we are, we need to challenge conventional thinking about what fluid power is, and which markets we play in. With this will come a need to expand our world of partnerships and relationships. Thermal management entails working with HVAC and climate customers which was rarely the case in the past. So how should we define fluid power today? A perhaps overly simplistic approach might be to consider it this way: If there’s a hydraulic or pneumatic component involved – whether hose or valve or cylinder – it’s fluid power. This definition opens up a world of opportunities – including many in electrification! And to be clear, lest you didn’t get the message from one of those “death of hydraulics” articles, fluid power is here to stay.

s the world’s focus on recycling grows, sustainability remains top of mind. Providers of high-quality machines for shredding and briquetting are looking for ways to increase the life cycles of these demanding machines while remaining environmentally friendly. One solution found to increase both sustainability and machine life cycle is using hydraulic drive solutions. When WEIMA, a leading manufacturer of machines for shredding and briquetting, was looking for a hydraulic drive solution, they turned to Hägglunds, drives that give you high performance and intelligent controls in a compact system. WEIMA now equips all shredders with Hägglunds drive solutions.

The Choice of Drive Is Crucial

WEIMA chooses Hägglunds Hydraulic Drive Solutions for sustainable shredding, paving the way for intelligent, autonomous systems. By Jonas Hägglund, Business Sector Manager, Hägglunds

“Our customers want systems they can operate 24/7,” says WEIMA Managing Director Andreas Mack. “Production time means output, which in their business means turnover. But the process material is destroyed in our machines as it goes from one form to another, which places a huge strain on the machines and their components.” “What’s the secret of a shredder?” Mack explains. “It’s not the steel, but the drive train, the machine control and the cutting geometry. We convince our customers that the best drive system they can have on a shredder for waste recycling is a hydraulic drive system.” The primary advantage of hydraulic systems is the ability to generate high forces and torques while maintaining a compact size. Because they are capable of moving heavier loads and providing greater force compared to mechanical or electrical systems, these systems provide precise control and high torque at low speed, making the product ideal for rugged environments.

Variability for Changing Demands

Hydraulic drive systems allow the shredder to adjust to variations in material loads, giving the machine the ability to cope with increased resistance, compared to electric

systems, which may stall or overheat. Mack says the flexibility in designing shredders with hydraulic systems is matched by that of operating them. “One of the big challenges for our customers is the changing input material, which can be small or large, light or heavy and possibly full of impurities,” he explains. “The ability to vary these two aspects, speed and torque, means security and risk reduction for the customer.” Unlike an electromechanical drive, Mack notes, a Hägglunds drive can solve the needs of the moment. “Every machine can be changed, but you have to spend a lot of money and use a lot of components to give a traditional drive more speed or torque,” he says. “This is the big advantage with the hydraulic drive train. You just push the lever, so to speak, and you have more speed – or less speed and more torque.” In addition, a hydraulic drive can shift between forward and reverse operation, as often as needed. “Customers may have to reverse a number of times to bring the material into position for the cutting geometry,” Mack says. “Variability, being able to continue working at all times, is why they should never consider anything else but a hydraulic drive train.”

Pursuing Even Smarter Shredders

Looking ahead, WEIMA plans to continue innovating, especially when it comes to digital solutions. Mack envisions more independent shredders down the road, and he sees cooperation with the Hägglunds team as part of reaching that goal. “I want to see completely automatic, self-regulating systems, where the shredder decides the necessary operating mode based on sensors that get information from the machine,” he says. This idea fits neatly with the condition monitoring and other connectivity already being employed in Hägglunds drives. My vision for the years to come is a shredder that learns and is able to decide the best thing for a customer’s production, and we have projects with the Hägglunds team where this is in focus.”

COVER STORY

MONITORING HYDRAULIC PUMP CASE DRAINS

By Steve Thorpe, Distribution Sales Manager, Webtec

hen the lifetimes of machine components are well-established and can be predicted reasonably accurately, then a preventive maintenance philosophy is a good one to adopt, and almost certainly better than relying on a breakdown maintenance approach. Preventive maintenance involves predicting the life or performance degradation of a component and scheduling its service or replacement at some time before the end of its useful life. Some components however operate with a large number of variables which can affect their rate of performance loss and a hydraulic pump is one such component. For example, the useful life of a pump can be affected by such factors as: • The correct choice of pump for the application • How the pump has been stored prior to use • How the pump has been installed into the system • The operating pressure and duty cycle of the application • The pump drive speed

• The type and condition of the system fluid (temperature, cleanliness, etc.) • The pump inlet conditions • The correct setting and operation of the pump controls, where applicable • The pump drain line layout

With so many operating variables, estimating the time when servicing or replacement of a pump is necessary will never be a simple exercise. Under-estimating pump life may result in a perfectly serviceable component, with many hours of useful life remaining, being replaced unnecessarily. Over estimating its life on the other hand could result in a catastrophic failure occurring before its scheduled replacement, with all the consequential cost and disruption that this is likely to cause. In such situations, therefore, a predictive maintenance procedure may be more appropriate where key characteristics of the pump’s performance are monitored either periodically, or preferably, continuously. The next question to answer is therefore what are the key characteristics of a pump’s operation that will indicate its performance

level? To answer this question, it’s first of all necessary to define the common failure modes of a typical pump. Consider therefore a variable displacement axial piston pump, a type that is very common on larger mobile machines and many industrial applications due to its good efficiency, high-pressure capability, and through-drive facility. Such pumps consist of usually 9 pistons fitted into bores in a rotating cylinder barrel. As the cylinder barrel rotates, an angled swash plate causes the pistons to reciprocate within their bores, with the stroke of the pistons being determined by the angle of the swash plate. Shoes or slippers on the end of each piston are held against the swash plate using a retaining plate and the flexible joint between the shoe and piston is achieved normally by swaging the shoe over the spherical end of the piston. In some designs, however, the piston mates with a spherical extension of the shoe. Inlet and outlet fluid passes via a valve plate on the rear of the pump to the pistons at the appropriate part of their cycle. A control piston positions the swash plate at any angle between maximum and zero in order to vary the pump displacement and in response to the action of one or more control valves mounted on the pump. In some designs, the adjustment piston lies on the same axis as the pump shaft, and in others at right angles to the shaft.

Figure 1 - Common failure modes of a variable displacement axial piston pump WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

| WWW.IFPS.ORG

Considering now the most common causes of pump failure, like all rotating devices, wear or damage to bearings will inevitably be high up on the list. There may be several reasons why pump shaft bearings fail but problems with the hydraulic fluid and excessive loading are the two most likely reasons. The wrong type or condition of the fluid together with contamination and temperature problems could all cause premature bearing failure as would excessive loading caused by shaft misalignment or over-pressurization. But of course, all bearings will have a finite life even when working within their rated conditions of service. As mentioned, the swash plate of a variable displacement axial piston pump is designed to tilt to vary the pump’s displacement and is therefore mounted in a yoke which is supported on either side by either needle roller bearings or, more commonly, saddle-type bearings. Saddle bearings are often pressure lubricated but are still susceptible to failure by contaminated fluid. Failures of the drive shaft are less common and are usually caused by bending, due to poor installation alignment, or from a severe over-pressurization of the pump resulting in a torsional failure. Torsion failures may of course also be a result of a catastrophic internal failure of the pump. A leaking shaft seal may be a sign of either a worn seal or a high pump case pressure. Seals need to be lubricated to avoid excessive heat build-up and wear, so starting up a pump without pre-filling the case with fluid can cause premature seal failure. If a pump is started ‘dry’, i.e. with no fluid in the pump case, it can take a significant amount of time for internal leakage to fill up the case and provide the necessary lubrication for the shaft seal and other components, particularly if the pump output is unloaded during this time. Excessive temperature, contamination, and high continuous or peak case pressure are also factors that can result in leakage from the shaft seal. Variable displacement pumps are controlled through pilot valves acting via a control piston or pistons, which change the angle of the swash plate to vary the pump displacement. Control valves may range

from a simple pressure limiting compensator to a servo-controlled displacement mechanism and possibly combined with such features as load sensing and power limiting etc. Such control valves may always be susceptible to contamination jamming spools or blocking orifices and must also be set up and adjusted correctly both at start-up and throughout the pump’s operational life. A very common cause of excessive fluid temperature for example is when a pressure limiting compensator is adjusted to a pressure higher than the relief valve on the pump outlet. Excess pump flow then passes across the relief valve at full pressure instead of reducing the pump flow. Like most hydraulic components, the biggest enemy of pumps is contamination. Normal or abnormal wear of a pump’s internal components will inevitably detract from the pump’s output flow. Wear or damage to the port plate or cylinder barrel face may tend to create leakage both directly from the high-pressure outlet port to the low-pressure inlet port or into the case of the pump. Leakage both from the piston/bore clearance and from the piston/shoe assembly will however always collect in the pump case from where it is directed back to the reservoir via the case drain line. It has long been assumed therefore that monitoring a pump’s case drain flow provides a very good indication of the wear state of the pump thus enabling an estimate to be made of the remaining useful life of the pump. While this is often a reasonable assumption to make, several factors need to be considered if this approach is adopted along with some pitfalls to be avoided. Firstly, as mentioned, not all internal leakage will be collected in the pump case and therefore will not be apparent as excessive flow in the case drain line. Scoring of the valve plate or cylinder barrel end face caused by contamination will often allow high-pressure fluid to pass straight back into the inlet port thus reducing the net output flow. Some pump designs incorporate a case-to-inlet port check valve, designed to limit the case pressure, so again excessive internal leakage may not show up as increased flow in the case drain line. Also, tandem pumps sometimes share a common case drain line, (by removing the shaft seal from the rear pump), thus making it impossible to determine which pump is losing efficiency or if the efficiency loss is due to both pumps. Secondly, any component mounted in the case drain line is likely to add restriction to the drain flow and thus increase the pressure within the pump case, and as already mentioned, shaft seal performance can be reduced by a high case pressure. But apart from its effect on the pump shaft seal, a high case pressure can also cause a more serious issue with the pump. For the pistons on the suction side of the pump, a high case pressure tends to push each piston back into its bore acting against the very low pressure inside the piston bore. The purpose of the retaining plate is to counteract this out-of-balance pressure force and hold the piston shoes in contact with the swash plate on the suction side of the pumping cycle. Where the pump design uses a spring-loaded retaining plate, an excessively high case pressure can overcome the spring force and allow the piston shoes to lift off the swash plate thus causing them to tilt and allowing the metal-to-metal contact between shoe and swash plate. Semi-circular marks on the swash plate surface together with indentations on the edges of the retaining plate holes are characteristic signs of such shoe lift occurring.

Figure 3. - Swashplate marking and retaining plate indentations indicate shoe lift (Photo credit Danfoss)

When the pump incorporates a fixed clearance retaining plate then an excessive out-of-balance pressure force acting on the piston can separate the shoe from the spherical end of the piston, which inevitably results in an immediate total failure of the pump.

In many cases, the other factor may be the result of a single swash plate control piston causing a transient pressure peak in the pump case. As the pump moves from a high flow to a lower flow condition, involving a reduced swashplate angle, the control piston extends rapidly and displaces its volume of fluid from the pump case. This can create a momentary high flow rate in the case drain line and a consequent high peak pressure in the case if the drain line is restricted in any way. Data on such peak drain line flows is rather scarce but Parker quotes a figure of up to 120 L/min (31.7 gpm) for a 140 cm³/r (8.5 in³) pump which is almost half the full pump flow at 1800 rpm drive speed. So, where the drain connection, and any components mounted in it, have been sized for an expected flow rate of 10 to 15 L/ min (2.6 to 4.0 gpm), (4 to 6% of the theoretical pump output flow), a momentary flow rate of 120 L/min (31.7 gpm) is likely to create a high peak pressure in the pump case. At 1800 rpm each piston and shoe assembly is squeezed and stretched 30 times a second so if the high case pressure is creating a stretching force greater than it should be, the swaged connection between the spherical end of the piston and the shoe will eventually loosen and subsequently fail prematurely. Of course, when the control piston retracts to bring the pump back onto stroke a reverse flow can occur in the drain line.

Figure 4. - Piston, shoe, and retaining plate failure caused by high case pressure (Photo credit www.insanehydraulics.com)

To maintain the out-of-balance pressure force acting on the pistons within an acceptable level, most pump manufacturers specify a maximum pressure difference between the case pressure and the inlet port pressure, which is typically 50 kPa (7.5 psi). It must be remembered however that at maximum stroke angle, the suction pistons are traveling at a high velocity both linearly within their bores and rotationally with the cylinder barrel. So, by the time the fluid has squeezed through the narrow openings of the valve plate and cylinder barrel, accelerated up to the linear and rotational speed of the piston, and then filled the piston bore, its pressure will be close to absolute zero and certainly well below the pressure that can be measured at the inlet port. But even when subjected to such a pressure imbalance, the resultant force would not seem to be great enough to separate the piston and shoe without some other factor having an effect.

Figure 5. - Control piston displacement creates a peak drain line flow

For these reasons, the drain line of variable piston pumps should be as large and unrestricted as possible and even the relatively low restriction created by a permanently installed turbine-type flow meter may be enough to reduce the working life of a pump. Connecting a flow meter to the drain line on an occasional (but regular) basis is therefore preferable to a permanently installed unit, but care must be taken

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

| WWW.IFPS.ORG

to ensure that flow meter readings are taken under the same pump operating conditions (displacement, speed, pressure, temperature, etc), which may not always be easy to do unless carried out using a defined test routine, and most likely with the machine off-line. In practice, therefore, a permanently installed flow monitor in the pump outlet may be the best way to continuously record the pump flow performance provided that the operating conditions that affect pump flow rate can also be monitored. For a variable displacement pump, these would include: • The pump drive speed • The swash plate angle (pump displacement)

• The output fluid pressure • The fluid temperature (viscosity)

CANbus signal to the vehicle’s main supervisory control system or via a telematic link to a centralized monitoring and diagnostic station. Despite the minimal restriction created by such flow monitors, mounting the units in the outlet port of variable displacement axial piston pumps is the preferred arrangement rather than in the case drain line. Fitment into the drain lines of fixed displacement pumps and motors is much less problematic however since high transient drain line flows are less likely to occur. In combination with a suitable vibration sensor to monitor the bearing condition, a full and continuous health check can then be maintained on the pump, and appropriate action taken to avoid the disruption and cost of unexpected breakdowns. So before using case drain flow monitoring consider the following: • Not all internal leakage from pumps and motors is evident as case drain flow • Components mounted in case drain lines should not adversely increase the case pressure • Check manufacturer’s specifications for maximum case pressures and case-to-inlet

differential pressures when appropriate • Transient flows in variable displacement pump drain lines can be very high • Case drain flow rates will vary considerably with pump or motor operating pressure • Control orifices of variable pumps often increase drain line flow at zero displacement

•

Figure 6. - Monitoring pump flow performance with the Webtec CTA Series Flow Monitor

On mobile machinery, the pump drive speed can be derived from the engine speed, which is normally monitored as a matter of course. Swash plate angle sensors are a common option on many variable pumps and pressure sensors are also standard fitment on many machines. By using an output flow monitor that also senses fluid temperature, the final factor affecting the pump flow rate can also be accounted for. Webtec’s CTA Series Flow Monitors are therefore ideally suited to form part of a predictive maintenance system, where they can continuously monitor pump output flow performance at pressures up to 42 MPa (6,090 psi) and flow rates up to 300 L/min (79.3 gpm) while simultaneously sensing fluid temperature. The principle of operation is a well-proven design that uses a turbine wheel mounted in the flow stream and a sensor that senses the passing of each turbine blade. As flow passes through the flow monitor, the turbine blade spins around at a speed proportional to the flow rate. The onboard electronics then convert the sensor pulses into a flow rate signal which can be transmitted via an SAE J1939

ALL ABOUT VACUUM

The Overlooked Usefulness of Vacuum Gauges & Switches The following article was written by Dane Spivak of Davasol Incorporated, an industrial brand management firm with many clients, one of which is Vacuforce LLC based in Indianapolis USA which this article is written in partnership with. Its intent is for conceptual examples only. Contact Dane Spivak by email at dspivak@davasol.com.

similar situation may go unnoticed from an automation perspective since the potential consequences are perceived to be much less significant. However, without vacuum pressure readings it may prove to be difficult to identify and localize issues when they arise.

» ONE COULD ARGUE that the most important Figure 1 – Vacuum gauge at rest and at 25.5inHg piece of information in a fluid power system is pressure. Using simple measurement devices such as pressure gauges allows the user to understand performance and identify abnormalities within a system. Furthermore, switches may be used as a gauge, and as a device to signal controls to perform actions as a result of the pressure measurements. The following article will discuss how gauges and switches can be implemented in industrial vacuum systems to benefit the user. Gauges seem to be less common in vacuum systems compared to other fluid mediums. Perhaps because of the low pressures, designers feel vacuum is a lesser threat to workers and the application environment. If a hydraulic system has sudden increases or drops in pressure, alarm bells would ring, figuratively and possibly literally, and the necessary steps would be taken. With vacuum, a

Figure1 shows a picture of a vacuum gauge at rest and at 86.35 kPa (25.5inHg). At rest, the gauge shows a reading of 0 kPa (0 in Hg) which is atmospheric pressure that has a mean value of 101.38 kPa (14.7psia) at sea level. This is an equivalent reading to 0 kPa (0 psig) at rest on a pressure gauge. In North America, vacuum gauges in industrial use typically display units of inHg (inches of mercury) and bar (a non-standard unit equal to 100 kPa) though other units such as Torr (millimeters of mercury), in H2O (inches of water), or kPa (kilo Pascal) are available. Note that the gauge needle indicator rotates in a counterclockwise direction to indicate that it is a “negative pressure” which is better described as a pressure lower than atmospheric. A vacuum gauge cannot indicate if a positive pressure is exerted in the system

as the lowest point is atmospheric pressure. To detect a positive pneumatic pressure, a secondary pressure gauge can be used, or there are compound gauges which measure both vacuum and pneumatic. Gauges are a simple cost-effective method to obtain a quick visual understanding of system status. For a relatively small system in a point of use application, using a single gauge is sufficient. If we consider a vacuum venturi and single cup gripping a product as shown in Figure 2, the vacuum gauge gives us a good measurement of the vacuum level throughout the small volume as losses are near zero. This way, if the system begins to run at 85 kPa (25 in Hg), but some time later it drops to 51 kPa (15 in Hg), we know that it is not performing at its intended vacuum level. From there, preventative maintenance steps may be taken such as replacing the cup if it no longer seals properly, or cleaning/replacing the vacuum inlet filter or venturi. In vacuum gripping applications there can be multiple contributing systems as shown in Figure 3 where the same system in Figure 3 is repeated to grip one part. Each venturi Figure 2 – Vacuum and cup assembly would venturi coupled to a vacuum cup and gauge be considered their own system as they are independently operated by their own vacuum venturi generator source. In this case, a vacuum gauge on each assembly would be recommended to understand how each individual system is performing. Systems WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

system with reasonable hose or tubing length, minimal vacuum level differences would be observed. But it is not uncommon to see noticeable vacuum pressure differences between the two gauges from leaks or losses. Sometimes pressure differences can be deliberate in a vacuum system where a lower vacuum level is desired at the application. Understanding the vacuum level needs of the pump and at the application are important to establish from the beginning. However, the bottom line is as long as the application runs smoothly there is no reason to tinker around to absolutely maximize vacuum level and reduce losses unless considerable amounts of energy is wasted in the process.

may vary in performance, so using only one vacuum gauge on a single system may provide some form of vacuum level data but not adequate information for the whole application. Revisiting our previous example, one venturi may be achieving 85 kPa (25 in Hg) while all the others have experienced losses down to 51 kPa (15 in Hg). Realistically this is an unlikely occurrence, but conceptually important to consider.

There are circumstances in which more than two gauges offer useful information in a vacuum system. Consider a large centralized system shown in Figure 5 where a vacuum pump powers multiple applications, one of which uses a vacuum regulator. In this system four gauges can be used: at the pump, before the regulator, after the regulator, and at the application. This way the pump vacuum performance can be understood along with the losses through the vacuum line to the regulator, the vacuum regulator functionality can be verified, and the application vacuum level can be monitored. This would allow continued on page 14

O-Ring Port Weld Fittings Figure 3 – Multiple vacuum systems in the same gripping application

Larger and more sophisticated vacuum systems experience losses, leaks, and consequently vacuum level variances. For this reason, more than one gauge is recommended in such a system. A good rule of thumb is to have one gauge close to the pump and the other close to the application. Figure 4 demonstrates this concept in a pick and place circuit. The gauge close to the pump is crucial in understanding if the pump is producing desired vacuum to begin with, and the gauge near the cups gives indication of the final vacuum level at the application.

an understanding of overall performance of this system section at each key point and identify problematic areas should vacuum issues occur. Figure 5 is a visual schematic that is not to any particular scale. However, considering that larger centralized systems may have relatively long vacuum lines in different shapes and sizes, impactful vacuum losses may occur.

electrical contacts connect to complete the circuit to turn the signal on. The electromechanical switch is not as accurate or precise as a solid-state switch, but it is a simple cost-effective indicator. It is particularly useful for part presence in pick and place applications to signal controllers that vacuum has been achieved and the part has been gripped by the vacuum cups.

Figure 5 – Centralized vacuum system with four gauges

Now that we have grasped an understanding of where to measure vacuum and the information it can provide, we can consider how to automate solutions for repeatability, preventative maintenance, and safety. Using vacuum measurements alone, vacuum switches are the common method in accomplishing the aforementioned. There are two popular types of vacuum switches in industrial automation: electromechanical and electrical solid-state. An electromechanical switch has a simple design. There is a vacuum level setting which may be preset or adjusted depending on the design. Based on the vacuum set point, the electrical circuit is either opened or closed where the closed setting completes the circuit to send an electrical output. Electromechanical switches are available in normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) options which dictates if the circuit is open (off) or closed (on) at its rest position. Figure 6 shows a normally open switch preset to 34 kPa (10 in Hg). This switch would remain open and have an off signal between 0-34 kPa (0-10 in Hg). Once the vacuum level is equal or greater than 34 kPa (10 in Hg), the switch circuit closes as the

Figure 6 – Normally open vacuum switch

Electrical solid-state switches operate differently. Without getting into the electrical design aspects, the solid-state switch operates by pressure “disrupting” voltage differentials and providing electrical outputs as a result. Since this switch is not mechanical, it offers longer life, better accuracy, and resistance to vibrations. Additionally, electrical switch models may include LED screens, vacuum readings, and programmable units. Figure 7 shows an example of an electrical solid-state switch with these features.

Solid-state switches are used to monitor vacuum levels in a system to ensure consistency. They can also be used as a safety device such as ensuring an adequate vacuum level is reached during a pick and place application. It Figure 7 – Electrical allows the control system solid-state switch to understand when a safe with LED screen vacuum level and gripping force is met before proceeding with a movement cycle. Another example of a safety application would be to use a switch when power is lost to monitor vacuum level loss. If power is lost while a vacuum gripping system is at 85 kPa (25 in Hg), and safety shut off valves are in place, vacuum may be sealed and “trapped” in the system. Naturally, air will leak into the system and the vacuum level would lower over time. A switch can be used by setting a low point such as 68 kPa (20 in Hg) to take preventative measures once the vacuum level drops below this value. Another type of useful vacuum switch is the pneumatic vacuum switch shown in Figure 8 where the switch (right) is connected to a pneumatic pilot valve (left). For this switch, the output signal is a pneumatic source. So, it essentially operates like the electromechanical type but sends an air signal instead. A pneumatic signal could allow direct control of a pilot operated valve or vacuum venturi as an example. It proves useful for compressed air energy savings with venturis and vacuum on/off controls. This article covered location points for gauges and how to implement switches in vacuum systems. Vacuum measurement is undeniably a major factor in Figure 8 – Pneumatic vacuum switch understanding system performance and implementing the right components in effective areas allows for superior repeatability, monitoring, and safety.

THE VALUE OF FINE FIBER

FILTRATION

MEDIA ————— By Samuel Kaye, Donaldson Company

22 | February 2024

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

| WWW.IFPS.ORG

————— ————

————— ————— ————— I

n nearly every industry that uses heavy machinery, efficiency is king. Whether you’re talking about man-hours, fuel usage, equipment wear and tear, or anything else, the ultimate goal is to get the most out of everyone and everything on the job site. Nowhere is this truer than in the mining and oil industries, where a single hour of downtime can have drastic ramifications on the bottom line. In these industries, every edge matters, so you need to look in unexpected places to find true efficiencies. In this case, we’re looking at hydraulic filtration. Modern hydraulic equipment is vastly more complex than it used to be, with higher pressures and tighter tolerances the exception rather than the rule. Hydraulic fluid contaminated with even microscopic particles can cause component failure from long-term wear or even sudden failure that leads to costly unplanned downtime.

—

“Better” filtration isn’t always better Synthetic high-efficiency filtration media has evolved to be incredibly effective at catching contamination that can cause damage to expensive equipment. But until very recently, there’s been a downside to these media: While they limit contamination, these medias can be very restrictive to flow, which causes a high pressure drop that can lead to power decreases. When you’re lifting a bucket on an excavator at a coal or gold mine, the last thing you want is a loss of power. So how do we reconcile the need for filtration that ensures cleanliness levels for hydraulic fluid but doesn’t impede hydraulic power? There’s a lot to consider, but filtration companies are constantly researching potential solutions. Multilayered, fine-fiber media like Donaldson Alpha-Web™ is one solution that can pay immediate dividends.

Multilayers, multi benefits Modern hydraulic circuits have complex, sensitive system designs that include electrification, precision tolerances, high pressures, and high pump speeds. These circuits are built to meet

operational efficiency targets for productivity, service intervals, and downtime, and likely need to meet environmental impact targets as well. All of these factors mean that there’s a tiny needle to thread to get the most out of a hydraulic system. The fluid must be perfectly clean and stay clean for as long as possible without impacting the power of the equipment. The sensitive components of modern hydraulic systems are, unsurprisingly, costly to maintain and even costlier to replace. A single general servo valve can cost more than $2,000 just for the part. A piston pump can cost well over $3,000. But the more important number is the lost opportunity cost. What does it cost a mining operation to have an excavator or haul truck out of service for a day? Keeping pumps running efficiently is especially important. As the (nearly literal) beating heart of a hydraulic system, if a pump goes down, the entire system goes down, which means that the equipment is out of service until the pump is operational again. According to a National Institute of Standards and Technology study*, the average maintenance cost for a hydraulic pump is $24 per kW per year ($18 per hp per year). That means that a hydraulic pump with a 225 kW (300 hp) motor can cost $5,400 annually just in basic maintenance. Multiply that by the number of pumps on the equipment and the number of units in your fleet, and you can see how quickly these costs add up. Simply by improving by two ISO codes over synthetic media, you get hydraulic fluid that’s four times cleaner than it was previously.† That change in cleanliness can extend component life by nearly 60 percent.‡ What’s that worth to an entire fleet? 75 percent of all hydraulic component failure is caused by contaminated or aging fluid.§ Keeping these vital components running efficiently is the primary goal of effective hydraulic filtration. Multilayered fine fiber media can clean hydraulic fluid to a microscopic level while not limiting fluid flow and power. But how clean does fluid need to be to protect these components?

How clean is clean enough?

Hydraulic filtration for real-world conditions Much of the available legacy hydraulic filtration media meets these ISO ratings, but they meet them in controlled settings. As anyone who has operated on a construction site can attest, real-world conditions are far from controlled. Hydraulic fluid is subject to constantly varying flow rates, which offer plenty of opportunity for contamination and pressure drops, and filter media needs to be able to handle both without losing effectiveness. Whenever there’s a change in flow rate — when the clutch engages, when the engine speed changes, when the joystick actuates an attachment, etc. — legacy synthetic medias can cause trapped particles to dislodge and get into the system to wreak havoc. A multilayer fine-fiber media like Alpha-Web that traps and locks contamination stands up to these flow-rate changes much more reliably than previous filtration media.

Complex protection for complex systems As hydraulic systems evolve to be more complex and intricate, filtration media also needs to evolve to be more effective at protecting the components from contamination. Effective filtration needs to: • Clean hydraulic fluid on a microscopic level • Withstand the rigors of ever-changing flow rates • Trap and lock particles • Allow fluid to flow freely despite conditions A single hydraulic filter that cleans fluid effectively with multi-layer fine fiber media can save a mining or oil fleet in component wear costs and by limiting unscheduled downtime of equipment. What’s more efficient than that?

NFPA UPDATE

NFPA Clubs at Universities Near You NFPA Grant Spurs Collaboration Between Universities

»NFPA’S UNIVERSITY GRANT program aims

to enhance fluid power education at four-year universities. We have awarded grants to develop curriculum, which is then accessible at no cost to schools nationwide on the NFPA Foundation website. This year, we took a new approach by harnessing the expertise at Purdue University to assist North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCAT) as they work to develop a Fluid Power concentration for undergraduate engineers. Both schools are NFPA Power Partner Universities and actively participate in all NFPA fluid power educational programs. The professors at Purdue University are developing five labs that will teach the fluid power competencies identified by our industry members. When testing is complete, these lab kits, estimated to cost about $500 each, will be sent to NCAT. Comprehensive instructions and bill of materials will be made available on the NFPA Foundation website for anyone to use. The collaboration extends beyond the development of lab kits. In late October, Dr. José García-Bravo from Purdue University spent a day at NCAT. During his visit, he taught a mini course on fluid power and collaborated with Dr. Paul Akangah, the professor at NCAT, on materials needed as they build out their Fluid Power Lab. Dr. Akangah, through the grant program, will be visiting Purdue University and Iowa State University to see their fluid power lab and educational resources. NFPA’s commitment to enhancing fluid power education at NCAT goes beyond curriculum and lab development. We have been facilitating connections between NCAT faculty, NFPA member companies, and other university peers, to help ensure the success of the implementation of NFPA Power Partner programs, and to help increase awareness of fluid power education and careers paths among the student population.

Another Successful Annual Reverse Career Fair at Murray State University NFPA’s annual Reverse Career Fair event with Murray State University last month was a success! With 30 engineering students presenting their fluid power projects, NFPA members had the chance to see the impressive talent coming from our Power Partner University. Students from various engineering degree programs presented their senior design and classroom projects to NFPA members. There was a wide array of projects that all incorporated fluid power in one way or another including a pneumatic hot cocoa machine and a self-sufficient houseplant ecosystem. Thank you to the following NFPA members for attending our event: Parker Hannifan,

Isaacs Fluid Power, Norgren, IFP Motion Solutions, and Hydrotech, Inc. This is our second year with Murray State University as a Power Partner and there are plenty of ways to connect with their students. Currently, they are looking to have an industry representative join their students, either virtually or in-person for a speaker’s bureau opportunity. This is great for company visibility and to meet with potential candidates for internships and job positions. If you are interested in speaking with Murray State University students or engaging with them in the future, please contact Kyla at kolson@nfpa.com.

Mind Your ’s and p ’s Q By Dan Helgerson, CFPS, CFPAI, CFPSD

I have a question: What is the relationship between pressure and flow?

ow, some of you may be wondering why I would even have a question about this. After all, everybody knows that “Flow means Go” and “Pressure means Push.” What could possibly be the question? For a cylinder to travel at a certain velocity, there will have to be a corresponding flow rate to the cylinder. For the cylinder to be able to push a certain load, there must be adequate pressure. We have an equation for each function: V=Q/K•d2 for velocity and F=p•A for force. Doesn’t this prove the axiom?

26 | February 2024

But here is my question: Is flow a cause or a result? Hmm… You know I often ask that we think differently. It can be painful, but “no pain, no gain.” I am suggesting that a proper understanding of the relationship between pressure and flow will help us think more clearly about the way we transfer energy through fluids. We need to ask ourselves, “What is really going on here?”

Acceleration In our fluid power systems, we tend to think of acceleration and deceleration only at start up and slowdown. We do not usually consider them when we need to control velocity for either rotary or linear actuators. As a result, we may be missing an important relationship between pressure and flow.

That pedal to the right on the floor of your car is not called the “velocity controller.” It is called the “accelerator” and for a good reason. When you enter the “on-ramp” you must accelerate to increase your velocity to match that of the existing traffic. The acceleration force must overcome the inertia of your vehicle as well as the road resistance, tire deformation, and wind resistance, among other things. All of these are deceleration forces. When the vehicle arrives at the target velocity, you do not completely relax the accelerator pedal. If you did, you would not maintain your speed. Instead, you must continue to provide an acceleration force that matches the deceleration forces. When the two opposing forces are in equilibrium, velocity is maintained. Any change in deceleration (like coming to a hill or a sudden WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

| WWW.IFPS.ORG

gust of wind) would require an equal change in acceleration to maintain velocity. The equation for fluid velocity in a tube or cylinder is V=Q/K•d2 where V stands for velocity, Q stands for flow rate, K is a conversion factor, and d is the inside diameter of the tube or cylinder. For rotational velocity (rpm) the equation is N=Q•K/disp where N is rpm, Q is flow rate, K is another conversion factor, and disp stands for the displacement of the rotary actuator. In each of these equations, it appears that velocity, linear or angular, is dependent on flow rate. So, what in the world am I talking about? There are three other equations that we can use to solve for velocity using V for velocity, F for force, p for pressure, A for area, m for mass, t for time, and a for acceleration: F=p•A , F=m•a , and a=V/t . The first two equations can be reworked to solve for acceleration: a=p•A/m . This and the third equation can be rearranged to solve for velocity: V=p•A•t/m . Notice that there is no “ Q ” in this equation. It is pressure, not flow that determines velocity. Going back to the discussion about the accelerator pedal, we see that velocity is established when the acceleration force and the deceleration forces are in equilibrium. So, in the interest of thinking correctly, the velocity of a cylinder, motor, or rotary actuator, is established when the acceleration and deceleration forces are in equilibrium. The deceleration forces include the load, the mechanical inefficiencies, and the back pressure. The acceleration force is determined by the pressure acting on the area or the displacement volume. There is no movement and no flow until the pressure is great enough to overcome the resistive forces. At breakaway pressure, the actuator begins to move, but if there is no flow, the pressure would immediately drop, and everything would stop. The flow must continue to fill the gap to maintain the pressure as the actuator moves. Flow is not the cause of velocity. It is the result of the velocity produced by acceleration. A pressure-compensated flow control is a variable pressure control. There is more pressure in the fluid upstream from the valve than is needed for acceleration. Through a series of orifices, the pressure is squeezed off until it is just right for the necessary acceleration force. Any change in the load requires a new pressure and the orifice(s) change accordingly. The result is a constant flow rate. The pressure of the fluid determines the energy density available. It is the energy WWW.IFPS.ORG

| WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

density (pressure/volume) that determines the acceleration which results in the flow. I see by your faces that some of you are still skeptical. Suppose we have a hydraulically driven fan on an excavator. The fan is driven by a pressure-compensated pump. There is no flow control valve. The fan speed is regulated by the radiator temperature. A sensing device sends a signal to the pump to do what? Adjust the…? That’s right! adjust the pressure!

Compensator setting determines the fan velocity

Hydraulic Fan Motor

Pressure Compensated (PC) Pump

Any given fan speed will have a specific resistive (deceleration) force. That force will require a specific torque output from the hydraulic motor.

“Flow means Go” would be more accurately expressed as “Flow is the evidence of Go” but I don’t expect anyone to adopt that as a mantra. It would take too long to explain. So, what’s the point? Why dig so deep? For those who are interested in efficiency, this knowledge will help recognize restrictive flow controls as pressure controls that consume energy. When velocity is controlled by flow, the power density of the fluid is reduced by releasing the excess energy as heat. When velocity is controlled by pressure, the correct flow will follow.

of polymers that retain their mechanical, thermal, or chemical characteristics even in harsh environments. Alternatively, it can mean engineered polymers modified to improve their performance (e.g. carbon fiber to polyphthalamide (PPA) for strength or molybdenum disulfide to polyamide (PA) for wear and durability). Most high-performance plastics (or polymers) are made of oriented fiber, plastics impregnated with fillers that increase their strength and/or reduce friction in the application. These fillers can be polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) added to polyetheretherketone (PEEK) materials to reduce friction and improve wear characteristics or molybdenum disulfide (moly) added to nylon leads for a harder and more wear-resistant surface. High-performance polymer combinations require the right balance between the base resin and the appropriate filler loadings.

replacing traditional metal components. This is also beneficial for the transition to electrification (covered later). For example, a traditional steel washer can be replaced with a lightweight polymer alternative that can withstand high-temperature environments while improving functionality by reducing wear on the mating hardware. Few materials, such as PEEK, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyamide-imide (PAI), can meet the demands of such harsh environments. Decreasing weight with these lighter parts also improves the efficiency of the system because less mechanical energy is required to power the application. WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

ell me about the What about hydraulic systems Q Tmanufacturing Q process for and fluid power applications? high-performance plastics.

High-performance plastics are often Amanufactured using injection molding, compression molding, or extrusion. These processes allow for very precise control over the shape and size of the final product. The plastic components can be precision molded to achieve tight tolerances or machined for further refinement and unique specifications. The goal is to improve the overall performance of the assembly and reduce the total stack up of tolerances in the system leading to reliable performance. Precision molded or extruded plastics can help adsorb some tolerances in other parts of the system. They remove the need to grind and modify mating parts in secondary processes making the system less expensive overall. In other words, polymers are often more durable in application compared to metallic components. They have greater flexibility to conform to mating hardware.

ow do high-performance Q Hplastics help with the transition to electrification?

vehicles are powered by batterAies,Electric so reducing weight – and thus the energy needed to impel them - is important. Lighter vehicles need less energy to move so they can go farther on a single charge. High-performance plastics help manufacturers to build lighter, more efficient electric vehicles (EVs) without sacrificing safety or strength. Electric systems generate heat, and too much can damage components, reduce efficiency, and even cause fires and leaks. High-performance plastics can provide effective thermal management systems, helping to dissipate heat and keep components operating at optimal temperatures. This extends the lifespan of the components and systems and improves overall performance.

WWW.IFPS.ORG

| WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

Semi-crystalline thermoplastics can be used Ain off-highway hydraulic systems. Individually, the weight difference per part is negligible, but using thermoplastic instead of steel components in several places on a piece of equipment can reduce overall weight significantly. For example, a traditional cast steel shoe pad used in four to six locations on a forklift - can be replaced with glass-filled nylon pads that withstand the same impacts and loads but at one-sixth of the weight. Additionally, high-modulus plastic rings can be modified to include internal lubricants, and when used in systems that don’t require petroleum-based greases they are more environmentally friendly.

an you provide some other Q Cexamples of high-performance plastics in fluid power applications?

Plastic guide rings can be designed to Aabsorb side-load forces in pistons and rods in hydraulic cylinders while eliminating metal-to-metal contact. They also provide a low coefficient of friction, a long service life, good chemical resistance, and high load capacity, as well as a lower wear rate than metal. The guide rings can be purchased with an angled cut for linear motion, a straight cut for rotary motion, or a step cut for special applications. Bearings and bushings of plastic also prevent metal-to-metal contact and reduce friction, extending the life of non-hydraulic systems. Finally, backup rings installed in grooves protect and support elastomeric seals and stop them from being pushed into the sealing gap. They are often used in hydraulic cylinders for excavators and agricultural machines.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION TO AIR TEASER ON PAGE 05 There are multiple ways of solving this problem. I will show you a couple of them.

Metric

Customary US

Step 1. Solve for the remaining horizonal distance from the end of the cylinder to the vertical arm on the boom. We can make a triangle using the 127 mm hypotonus and the 34°angle to get the rest of the horizonal distance. See diagram below. Cosine of the angle = the adjacent side divided by the hypotonus. Cosine of 34° = Y (adjacent side) / 127 mm. Cross multiplying = Cosine of 34° x 127 mm = 105.28 mm Now add the 456.17 mm cylinder and subtract the 101.6 mm on the left side of the main beam and minus the 69.11 mm at the bottom of the bucket and you will get 392.3 mm (the horizonal distance). Next, calculate the force on the cylinder. Diameter is 38.1 mm; therefore 38.1² x . 7854 = 1,140 mm² x .689 mPa = 785.46 N. Let us write a moment equation since the both the load and effort are both perpendicular to the pivot: 177.8 mm x 785.96 N = 392.18 mm x N (Load) N = 356.3 N x 4.448 = 80 pounds Final Answer

Step 1. Solve for the remaining horizonal distance from the end of the cylinder to the vertical arm on the boom. We can make a triangle using the 5” hypotonus and the 34°angle to get the rest of the horizonal distance. See diagram below. Cosine of the angle = the adjacent side divided by the hypotonus. Cosine of 34° = Y (adjacent side) / 5. Cross multiplying = Cosine of 34° x 5” = 4.145”. Now add the 18” cylinder and subtract the 4” on the left side of the main beam and minus the 2.7 “ at the bottom of the bucket and you will get 15.445” (the horizonal distance). Next, calculate the force on the cylinder. Diameter is 1.5”, therefore 1.5² x .7854 = 1.767 in² x 100 psi = 176.7 pounds of force. Let us write a moment equation since the both the load and effort are both perpendicular to the pivot: -7” x 176.7 pounds+ 15.445” x P (load) = 0 7 x 176.7 = 15.445P 1236.9 = 15.445P P = 80 pounds / 4.448 = (355.84 N) Final Answer

WE DO THE HARD PART.

A second way of solving the problem is with a mechanical advantage/ disadvantage. Using the same number, the tip of the bucket has a horizontal distance of 392.3 mm and the cylinder has 177.8 mm vertical distance of leverage. Both the load and reaction are perpendicular to the pivot 392.3 / 177.8 = 2.206 mechanical disadvantage. The push on the cylinder is 785.96 N / 2.206 = 355.84 N.

A second way of solving the problem is with a mechanical advantage/ disadvantage. Using the same number, the tip of the bucket has a horizontal distance of 15.445” and the cylinder has 7” vertical distance of leverage. Both the load and reaction are perpendicular to the pivot. 15.445 / 7 = 2.206 mechanical disadvantage. The push on the cylinder is 176.7 lbs. / 2.206 = 80 lbs. (355.84 N).
