How do you bleed air out of a hydraulic hand pump

hydraulic hand pump

You bought a new hand pump but found that the hand pump does not suction oil when it is working. Even if you press the handle of the hand pump repeatedly, the hand pump starts to suction oil, and the oil intake is much less than normal. Please don’t worry, this is because there is a shortage of oil inside the fuel tank of the manual pump and it has not been used for a long time, and air has entered the inside of the plunger of the manual pump. At this time, we need to bleed the air inside the plunger, and the manual hydraulic pump can work normally.

Let’s take a RIVERLAKE P-462 two-speed hydraulic hand pump as an example, in order to completely expel the air inside the hand hydraulic pump plunger, please follow the steps below:

1. Fill the manual pump oil tank with hydraulic oil, connect the manual pump, hydraulic hose, and hydraulic cylinder

2. Turn the air release valve clockwise to open the air release valve

3. Rotate counterclockwise to loosen the air release screw of the plunger, turn on the manual position valve of the manual pump, and press the handle repeatedly to discharge the air inside the piston. When the air is exhausted, tighten the plunger bleed screw by turning counterclockwise and wiping the surface of the hand pump with a rag.

4. Now that we have expelled the air from the hand pump piston, we still need to test the hand pump to confirm that the problem has been solved. Turn off the hand pump switch, retract the hydraulic cylinder, turn the hand pump switch back on, and press the hand pump handle repeatedly, the first need to press The force of the hand pump will be relatively large, and the hydraulic cylinder piston will also start to rise rapidly. This is because in the first stage of the two-speed hydraulic pump, the larger plunger in the hydraulic pump works; once the piston rises to the maximum height, the pressure reaches the first stage. The pressure required for the second stage, the force required to press the handle is greatly reduced, because the smaller plunger in the hand pump starts the second stage pressurization work. After the test is completed, if everything is normal, it means that the air in the hand pump has been completely discharged.

Single-Acting vs Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders provide the unidirectional force required to power your industrial equipment for heavy lifting. Telescopic hydraulic cylinders, which are ideal for dump trailers and platform truck trailers, give the extended stroke lengths required for a range of versatile purposes. When purchasing telescopic hydraulic cylinders, consumers are frequently faced with the decision between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic cylinders. Learn what distinguishes the two types of telescopic cylinders to determine which cylinder is appropriate for your high-power hydraulic requirements. The hydraulic cylinder is the industrial world’s workhorse. Learn about the benefits and drawbacks of single and double-acting hydraulic cylinders. The function of your cylinder decides whether you should choose a single-acting or double-acting hydraulic cylinder. Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Single-acting cylinders generate force exclusively in one direction, whether it is a push or pull action. These are also referred to as “plunger” cylinders. They are utilized in lifting operations where hydraulic pump pressure stretches the hydraulic cylinder and a mass or spring retracts it. Single-acting cylinders contain only one port through which the hydraulic pump’s pressurized oil passes. This causes the piston to extend in one direction, compressing the piston’s spring. After releasing the air via the cylinder port where it entered, the spring

How To FIX a Sinking Foundation

A home’s foundation is its most important structural element. It supports the rest of the house and keeps it from sinking, shifting, or cracking. When a foundation starts to sink, it can cause various other problems that can be costly and dangerous to fix. Causes of a sinking foundation Sinking foundations are a common problem in homes across the country. There are several potential causes of this issue, including weak or improperly compacted soil, improper drainage, and poor foundation construction. In some cases, the underlying problem may be something as simple as a tree root growing too close to the home’s foundation. However, other factors such as weather conditions or changes in the groundwater level can also contribute to a sinking foundation. If you are experiencing this problem with your home, it is essential to identify the cause and take steps to correct it as soon as possible. Signs that you have a sinking foundation A sinking foundation is a serious structural problem that can lead to a home’s collapse. There are several signs that can indicate your foundation is starting to sink. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your foundation inspected by a professional foundation

Calculate Force in Your Hydraulic Cylinder the Easy Way

In hydraulic systems, force is a crucial element in controlling the flow of liquids and gases. In this article, we will discuss how to calculate the force exerted by a hydraulic cylinder. First, we need to know the dimensions of the piston and cylinder. Second, we need to know the working pressure of the hydraulic cylinder. The force exerted in a hydraulic cylinder can be calculated using the following equation: F = P x A. where F is the force, P is the pressure of the fluid in the cylinder, and A is the working effectiveness area of the piston. This equation can be used to calculate forces in any hydraulic system. For example, the effective area of a double-acting cylinder is 0.145m² for push and 0.048m² for retraction, rated working pressure is 70Mpa. The pushing force should be  F(push)=70MpaX0.145m²=10.15Ton, and the pulling force should be F(pull)=70MpaX0.048m²=3.3Ton.
