Hydraulic Actuators its Advantages, Disadvantages and Applications

Hydraulic Actuators

In hydraulic actuators receives high pressure hydraulic oil with control direction. Speed is also controlled with element of pressure pack. for producing linear motion the hydraulic cylinders are used. For rotational motion hydraulic motors are used. In hydraulic pump receives oil from reservoir. 

Electric motor receives current from mains. Electric motor provides rotational movement to the pump. Linear actuator provide reciprocating motion to joints. 

Advantages 

1) This actuators are self lubricating and non corroding.

2) They have more load carrying capacity than electric and pneumatic actuators.

3) Mechanical linkage is not required.

4) Backlash problems are few occur.

5) These actuators are have high efficiency.

6) In this actuators have exact and precise control on speed , and direction.

7) The hydraulic robots are more capable of oppose shock loads.

8) This actuators are providing fast change start up, stop, reverse operating modes.

9) Hydraulic actuators are simple and reliable protection of engine from overloads.

10) Hydraulic actuators are suitable for high power applications.

Disadvantages

1) In hydraulic actuator if leakage can occurs causing loss in performance and general work area.

2) Hydraulic power is usually not workable economically as cost of hydraulic machines not decrease in size.

3) In hydraulic actuator power pack can be noisy.

4) If fluids will leaks then it deliver less efficiency.

5) Weight of this actuator system very high.

6) This actuators need more additional parts motors, valves, sensors, pumps etc.

Applications 

  • Used in hydraulic brake, jack.
  • Used in cranes, military vehicles, excavators etc.
  • Use in loading robots, handling robots.
So in this article we discussed the topic Hydraulic Actuators its Advantages, Disadvantages and Applications hope you understand well.

Thanks for reading it.
