Symbols Experiment

There are interactive experiments in each symbol. Complete these modules before proceeding to the additional circuit simulations below.

1. Look at a range of different circuits via the following links:

♦ Mobile system circuits

♦ Industrial system circuits

♦ Supply system circuits

♦ Safety system circuits

♦ Load control system circuits

2. Build and test your own circuits using the hydraulic circuit builder software.

3. Draw a simple hydraulic circuit using the appropriate symbols to explain the following system:

♦ A vertical cylinder with a simple mass load.

♦ An industrial 4 way, 3 position, solenoid operated directional spool valve suitable for a fixed displacement pump.

♦ A simple PO check sandwich slice valve.

♦ A single meter out flow control valve.

♦ A fixed displacement pump.

♦ A direct acting pressure relief valve for overpressure protection.
