    This presentation introduces hydraulic symbols and components. It explains that standard symbols are used to simply represent hydraulic systems and components without showing construction details. Common components like reservoirs, pumps, accumulators, valves, cylinders, and motors are depicted through standard symbols. Flow control valves control the fluid flow rate while directional valves determine flow direction and pressure control valves regulate maximum pressure. A hydraulic motor produces rotary motion from fluid power.

    Purpose of Hydraulic Symbols


    Hydraulic systems often become complex. To draw the components and circuit connections in these systems would be both time consuming and complicated.
    Standard symbols are used in order to make the drawing, designing and understanding of these systems simpler.

    Symbols and Components

    The diagram shows a simple hydraulic circuit using standard hydraulic symbols.
    Symbols are used to show: Circuit connections Direction of fluid flow Component function However, hydraulic symbols do not show: Component construction Port locations System pressures Component size

    Question 1
    Hydraulic symbols do NOT show:

    A) Component function B) Component construction C) Direction of fluid flow D) Circuit connections

    Symbols and Components

    Question 2
    What does this symbol represent?

    A) Directional control valve B) Double acting cylinder C) Fixed displacement pump D) Pressure control valve

    Symbols and Components

    Hydraulic Reservoirs

    A hydraulic reservoir holds a supply of hydraulic fluid that is not under pressure.

    When drawing a circuit using a hydraulic reservoir, the following circuit symbol could be used.

    Symbols and Components

    Hydraulic Pumps
    Hydraulic fluid is pressurized by a pump. Pumps may be hand operated or driven by motors. The pump takes fluid from the reservoir. As the pump turns, fluid is pressurized and applied to the hydraulics system.

    Shown below are symbols used to identify some typical hydraulic pumps.

    Fixed displacement

    Variable displacement non-compensated

    Variable displacement pressure-compensated Next >

    Symbols and Components

    Accumulators
    Accumulators are pressure storage reservoirs in which hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external force. The external force could be a spring, a raised weight, or compressed gas.
    Accumulator symbols are shown here:

    Spring loaded

    Gas charged

    Symbols and Components

    Hoses, Tubing and Fittings


    Hydraulic transmission lines are used to distribute fluid to system components.
    Plastic hoses or pipes are usually used in low / medium pressure systems. Copper or steel tubing is usually used in high pressure systems. Hydraulic lines are joined to components by connectors that have tapered or regular threads.

    Symbols and Components

    Shown below are symbols used to identify some typical hydraulic connection lines (pipes):

    Main hydraulic line or shaft

    Pilot line (control)

    Symbols and Components

    Hydraulic Valves
    The hydraulics system uses valves to control fluid flow. Typical types of valves are:
    Directional valves: Determine the direction of fluid flow. Operation can be manual or automatic.

    Flow control valves: Control the rate of flow, through an opening. Usually adjustable. May allow full flow in one direction and restricted flow in the other.

    Pressure control valves: Protect system by setting a maximum operating pressure.

    Question 3
    Which type of valve controls the rate of fluid flow through a hydraulic system?

    A) Directional B) Flow control C) Pressure control

    Symbols and Components

    Hydraulic Actuators
    An actuator receives fluid power and changes it into mechanical motion. Motion may be linear or reciprocating as produced by a cylinder, or rotary as produced by a hydraulic motor.
    The symbols used for cylinders are shown:
    Motor

    Cylinder

    The symbol used for a hydraulic motor is shown:

    Single-acting cylinder Positive displacement motor

    Double-acting cylinder

    Question 4
    Rotary motion is produced by:

    A) Applying fluid power to the piston of a cylinder. B) Removing fluid power from the piston of a cylinder. C) Repeated operation of a cylinder's piston. D) A hydraulic motor.
