Hydraulic Elevators

How The Hydraulics Work By Caleb Hendrich Josh Lamson Jason Gonzalas (whos not here)

The Four Components

Tanks Motor/pump Valve Actuator

The Tank

This Holds the liquid used in the system

This liquid is usually oil based because:
Non compressible Self lubricating

Motor/Pump
Constantly puts water into the system Pressure use for mechanical advantage

Valve
Lets water out of the system. Keeps the pressure low when open Increases pressure when closed

Actuator

An actuator is the device that transfers fluid or electrical energy into mechanical energy.

The Elevator
All four Components are present in certain kinds of elevators These elevators use an hydraulic system to create pressure

How is the Elevator Hydraulic?

Press the up and down arrows to work the animation. (will only work in the slide show itself.)

The Components

The Tank
Present to hold the Oil

Motor/Pump
Pushed oil into the cylinder to lift the elevator

Valve
Let oil out of the system, lowering the elevator

Actuator
The actuator could be piston because it moves up and down.
