Pressure drop in a hydraulic system why is it important
Pressure drop in a hydraulic system why is it important
(OP)
Hi
I would like to know why all hydraulic components relate to pressure drops. I understand that you will get a drop after whatever hydraulic component or piping is installed.
If a cylinder requires 100BAR to move and say a pressure drop through the valve of 5BAR & the pump is capable of pushing 200BAR how does the pressure drop effect the cylinder power ?

Can you lift 10 lbs? How about 20 lbs? Not really a big deal even though it's double. What about if you keep stacking up 10 lb plates? Eventually you are not going to be able to lift it. That's when it matters.

In the 'good old days', the motor would be oversized, the cooler circuit would be oversized, and who cared about extra hardware cost and wasted energy. The system worked and the end user paid the hiddens costs.
Now, thankfully, end users care, and force the designer to care, about operating costs, heat, space, weight, and a host of other issues.
