Question

An hydraulic cylinder has a piston diameter of 150mm and strokes at 300mm in 10 seconds. Calculate- A) The swept volume of the actuator in liters B) The pump displacement in Liters/minute

Answer 1

(a)Volume in liters=5.3 liters.

(b)Volume in liters/minute=31.8 liters/minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of cylinder ,D=150 mm

Stroke,L=300 mm

Time ,t=10 sec

we know that swept volume of cylinder

`V_(s)=(\pi )/(4)* D^2* L`

So
`V_(s)=(\pi )/(4)* 0.15^2* 0.3 m^(3)`

`V_(s)=0.0053 m^3`

(a) Volume in liters =5.3 liters ( 1
`m^3`=1000 liters)

(b) When we divide swept volume by time(in minute) we will get liters/minute.

We know that 1 minute=60 sec

⇒10 sec=
`(10)/(60)` minute

So volume displace in liters/minute=31.8 liters/minute.
