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.

How Does a Hydraulic Pump Work?

A hydraulic pump is a machine that uses the power of fluid to move objects. The first pumps were invented in the seventeenth century, and they were mainly used for irrigation. Over time, however, hydraulic pumps have been used for a variety of other purposes, including mining, manufacturing, and moving objects. How Does a Hydraulic Pump Work? A hydraulic pump is a machine that uses the pressure of fluids to move things. It works by using a piston and cylinder assembly to push and pull fluid through a series of tubes. The force of the fluid moving through the tubes creates a mechanical force that can be used to do work. There are two main types of hydraulic pumps: reciprocating and impeller. A reciprocating pump has a piston that moves back and forth inside the cylinder. The force created by this motion is used to push or pull fluid through the system. An impeller is a spinning cylinder, and it can be used as a reciprocating pump or as an aerator. The main components of a hydraulic pump are pistons, cylinders, valves, and pipes. They are all connected together in order to create a system that can move fluids. A piston is
How to FIX a sinking foundation

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

North-South Commuter Railway Extension Project 1569 Ton Pile Load Testing

Project Images Project Introduction The North-South Commuter Railway, also known as the Clark–Calamba Railway, is a 147-kilometer urban rail transit system under construction on the island of Luzon, Philippines, primarily in the Greater Manila Area. The project will utilize the Japanese railway system that uses energy-efficient and reliable trains.  RIVERLAKE supplied a pile load testing system consisting of 2 units of 1000-ton hydraulic cylinders and 1 unit PLC-controlled electric hydraulic power unit. The system will perform pile load testing work up to 1569 tons in the NSCR Extension Project. RIVERLAKE PLC controlled hydraulic jacking system is designed for pile load tests up to 2000 tons where the load is to be applied in different stages and displayed accurately in real-time. The plc pile load test jacking system provides 6 default tonnage options, user can preset the loading tonnage and holding period of time for each option. During pile load test operation, the whole process is run automatically, just select one of the preset tonnages and press the auto-run button. the hydraulic jack will raise to its full stroke, upon reaching the preset load, the jacking system will stop automatically and hold the pressure for the preset period of time.

Bolt Tensioning vs Torquing: Introduction, difference, pros and cons.

Bolt Tensioning vs Torquing: Introduction, difference, pros, and cons.

Introduction Bolt tensioning and torquing are two different ways to adjust the tension on a bolt. Torque is the ability to apply a rotational force and is used to tighten and loosen bolts, while bolt tensioning is when the bolt’s nut is tightened against the head of the bolt. This tightening creates a drag on the bolt, increasing its stability and preventing it from loosening during use. Torque wrench use generally depends on the size of the bolt, while tensioners can be used with almost any bolt size. What is bolt tensioning? Bolt tensioning is the process of adjusting the tension on a nut or bolt by using a hydraulic press force. This is done to precisely adjust the strength of the connection between the parts being joined. The process can tighten or loosen connections, and it is an often-needed procedure in many industries. Hydraulic bolt tensioners are an essential part of modern machinery, as they allow for accurate and repeatable adjustment of bolt tension. What is bolt torquing? Bolt torquing is the act of tightening or loosening a bolt by turning it with a wrench. It’s an important part of industrial maintenance, and it can be done by hand or using a torque wrench. Torque is measured in
