What is a hydraulic amplifier?
The hydraulic amplifier is a device that is connected to a normal hydraulic machine to increase the amount of pressure that the machine can produce. This is done by means of two pistons that are usually of the same size, but can be different in size to increase the pressure on the inner fluid. One of the problems using the hydraulic amplifier is that it can only increase pressure to one move, so this device cannot be used in machines that require more than one move. This can help reduce the size of the hydraulic cylinder, so this device is most often used in machines that do not have room for large cylinders. This amplifier is usually not used for very small tasks, because rarely it is necessary to increase the pressure on small tasks. Both pistons are usually of the same size and increase the force pushing on liquid. There are also versions that have different pistons size, but it develops less force, so they are used for amplifiers that do not need the highest strength.
While the hydraulic amplifier can significantly increase the pressure of hydraulic machines - usually from 25 percent to 50 percent - there is one problem with the use of the amplifier. This device can only be made for applications with one pull, which means that pistons can only push the hydraulic fluid once with any effect. The pistons can go up and down, but they cannot put pressure after the first stroke. As a result, hydraulic systems that need more than one move cannot use this device.
In addition to increasing the pressure of hydraulic systems, the hydraulic amplifier can also reduce the size of the cylinder. This is useful for machines that cannot use a very large cylinder without harm such as jack. At the same time, large Inteetunsifiers can be used to increase the power of large cylinders.
Small hydraulic systems generally do not have a hydraulic amplifier, because small tasks rarely need special power. For example, the hood of the car that usesThe hydraulics to maintain the bonnet would not use an amplifier, because the increased force would either not do or in fact damage the hood damage. Intensifying is usually used only for medium or large hydraulic systems that are used to lift or crush heavy objects.
