hydraulic failure
1Hydraulic machinery — are machines and tools which use fluid power to do work. Heavy equipment is a common example.In this type of machine, high pressure hydraulic fluid is transmitted throughout the machine to various hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinders. The… …
2Hydraulic brake — The hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, typically containing ethylene glycol, to transfer pressure from the controlling unit, which is usually near the operator of the vehicle, to the actual brake… …
3Hydraulic hooklift hoist — PRESSURE FLOW Hydraulic Oil Pressure = Capacity All hooklift hoists are preset, at the factory, to achieve intended lifting capacity. Turning up the system s pressure will increase lifting capacity, but adjusting or tampering with hoist s… …
4Hydraulic jump — A hydraulic jump is a phenomenon in the science of hydraulics which is frequently observed in open channel flow such as rivers and spillways. When liquid at high velocity discharges into a zone of lower velocity, a rather abrupt rise (a step or… …
5Hydraulic cylinder — A Hydraulic cylinder (also called a linear hydraulic motor) is a mechanical actuator that is used to give a linear force through a linear stroke. It has many applications, notably in engineering vehicles. Operation Hydraulic cylinders get their… …
6Hydraulic fill — A hydraulic fill is an embankment or other fill in which the materials are deposited in place by a flowing stream of water, with the deposition being selective. Gravity, coupled with velocity control, is used to effect the selected deposition of… …
7Fuse (hydraulic) — In hydraulic systems, a fuse is a component which prevents the sudden loss of hydraulic fluid pressure. It is a safety feature, designed to allow systems to continue operating, or at least to not fail catastrophically, in the event of a system… …
8Dam failure — The reservoir emptying through the failed Teton Dam A dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or slows down the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundments. Most dams have a section called a spillway or weir over… …
9brake failure — The total inability of the brakes to function. May be caused by worn out pads or shoes, broken hydraulic lines, broken cable or other linkage, non functioning master cylinder, low or empty brake fluid reservoir, etc …
