Hydraulics & Electrification The Future Is bright

By Mark Czaja, Chief Technology Officer, Parker Hannifin

»WITHOUT A DOUBT, we’ve seen in recent years tremendous focus on electrification across all industries. But perfecting electrification technologies has not happened overnight. Some in the industry question if electrification – especially for larger machinery – is truly viable or merely hype.

It’s important to remember that hydraulic systems have evolved over many decades. Comparing electrification’s progress with traditional hydraulic systems is not an apples-to-apples analogy.

Thanks to a combination of increased governmental regulations and incentives, evolving technologies originating in the automotive industry, and increased demand from customers, clean technologies are here to stay and will dominate a larger percentage of industry over the next decade.

‘Patience is key’

One of the greatest areas of promise is in battery evolution. We have seen tremendous improvements in the cost, performance, and range of batteries. But realistically, major advances in battery technologies may not be market ready for another decade. Patience is key.

Solid-state battery technology is an area of tremendous promise, delivering two-and-a-half times more energy density than current lithium-ion batteries. Newer cathode technology, which is moving away from using cobalt and graphite, also pushes energy density boundaries to increase the range of batteries.

Other innovations seek to overcome concerns regarding thermal management. Parker is investing R&D to develop the next generation of thermal interface materials that aid in thermal cooling, which is important for obvious safety reasons and to increase battery life.

While battery technologies represent the shortest path to electrifying vehicles and mobile equipment, they are not the only option. Hydrogen fuel cells are attractive because they represent a clean alternative and have greater energy-storage capacity. They’re ideal for larger vehicles. While challenges to safety and infrastructure remain, work is underway to make hydrogen a viable energy source.

The vast research on electrification leads some people to ask if the goal is to completely eliminate hydraulics. Considering how well hydraulics performs in certain applications – especially powering work functions – it is hard to imagine a time when there would be no hydraulic machinery. However, hydraulic systems can be improved with advanced software controls, optimization of motor and pump packaging, and powering the system with the latest electric motor and controller technology.

Combining the best of hydraulics with emerging electrification technologies means there is value in working with a supplier expert in both areas. Parker's hundred-year history in machine design and our breadth of products allow us to create efficient, flexible, and sustainable solutions by combining hydraulics with the controllability and efficiency of electrification.

Parker also early on recognized the benefits of consulting experts from differing backgrounds and perspectives to advance smart electrification solutions. This premise created the company’s Motion Technology Center, which develops breakthroughs specifically focused on electrification. Parker’s experts have backgrounds in power electronics, electric motors, traditional hydraulics, and software controls. This effort results in more efficient approaches to electrifying hydraulics and greater connectivity for gathering machine performance data.

For those who doubt the feasibility of the electrification movement or are frustrated with the slow adoption rates of certain industries, be patient. The future is bright. Advances happen every day. But developing technology and testing it in various applications takes time. Those patient and persevering with electrifying machines will amass great rewards.

Clean technologies are here to stay and will dominate a larger percentage of industry over the next decade.

New Problem

Calculate a Spud Gun’s Velocity

By Erine Parker, CFPAI, CFPSD, CFPS, CFPMM, CFPMT, CFPMIP, CFPMMH, CFPMIH, CFPE

»MANY PEOPLE ENJOY using a safe spud gun. Shooting a potato at 100 psi can be highly entertaining. However, using compressed air to propel something is sometimes frowned upon. Then the challenge becomes to build a vacuum ping pong gun that doesn’t use an air compressor, like this:

Take a 10-foot PVC schedule 40 1.5-inch pipe with an ID of 1.59 inches. Use a ping pong ball with a diameter of 1.57 inches. Add a Y or a T connection at one end to attach a vacuum pump. Place a piece of mylar over both ends with a female coupler to hold it in place after putting the ball in the pipe. Attach a strong vacuum pump to the branch and pull a vacuum while aiming upward and

away from any object or person. Treat it as a loaded rifle. Twenty-six inches of mercury will blow the ball out of the far end of the barrel when you puncture the mylar on the back end, but that’s not impressive. Lower the vacuum to 27 inches of mercury and it is much better. But at 28 inches or higher, the results are unbelievable.

Here is your problem: calculate the velocity of the ball leaving the barrel before it hits the atmosphere in meters or feet per second, and mph or kph.

Given: Ball weight 2.7 grams

Barrel is 10 feet long

Vacuum is 28 inches of mercury (Hg)

Pneumatic Cylinder Sensor Technology

By Jack Moermond, Service Engineer, Balluff Inc.

Inthe field of automation, the pneumatic cylinder is a popular choice for prime mover duties. Pneumatic cylinders carry advantages such as relatively low first cost, application simplicity, and durability. To integrate a pneumatic cylinder into an automated system, it is necessary to supply electrical signals to the controller indicating the position status of the cylinders. Toward that end, pneumatic cylinder manufacturers, machine builders, and end users have developed a number of ways to detect extension or retraction of a pneumatic cylinder and provide an electrical signal to the control system.

One position-sensing technique is to install external electromechanical limit switches or inductive proximity switches that detect metal flags on the moving parts of the machine. The disadvantages of this approach include the cost and complexity of the brackets and associated hardware, the difficulty of adjustments, and the increased physical size of the overall assembly. Another problem: the external hardware is prone to damage and misalignment from everyday contact.

A more popular and widely used method is to attach magnetically actuated switches or sensors to the sides of the cylinder or into a slot extruded into its body. Through the pneumatic cylinder’s aluminum wall, magnetic field sensors detect an internal magnet mounted on the moving piston. In most applications, magnetic sensors provide end-of-stroke detection in either direction; however, installing multiple sensors along the length of a cylinder detects additional discrete positions. There are two common types of cylinder magnets used with magnetic field sensors. The first and probably most widespread is the axially magnetized magnet, which is ideal for actuating most reed switches. As shown in the side-view illustration to the right, the magnet places the north and south poles next to each other in the axial plane as shown in the illustration.

A second commonly encountered cylinder magnet is a radially magnetized magnet one. It works well with a Hall effect sensor. Instead of the north and south poles next to each other, one is the inner diameter and the other is the outer diameter, as shown in the upper right. The Hall effect sensor only looks for a magnetic pole; it does not matter if it is north or south.

Reed switches

The simplest magnetic field sensor is the reed switch. This device consists of two flattened ferromagnetic nickel-and-iron reed elements enclosed in a hermetically sealed glass tube. The glass tube is evacuated to high vacuum

to minimize contact arcing. As an axially aligned magnet approaches, the reed elements attract the magnetic flux lines and draw together by magnetic force, thus completing an electrical circuit. The magnet must have a strong enough Gauss rating, usually in excess of 50 Gauss, to overcome the return force, i.e., spring memory, of the reed elements.

The benefits of reed switches are that they are low cost, require no standby power, and can function with both AC and DC electrical loads. However, reed switches are relatively slow to operate; they may not respond fast enough for some high-speed applications. Since they are mechanical devices with moving parts, they have a finite number of operating cycles before they eventually fail. Switching high-current electrical loads further cuts into their life expectancy. In addition, low-cost reed switches can sometimes deliver multiple switching points as the twin lobes of certain magnets pass by. Lastly, reed switches installed in high shock and vibration applications may exhibit contact bounce or become physically damaged. In many automated factories, reed switches are a major source of unplanned downtime. In plants with hundreds of reed switches, failures can occur almost hourly. They represent a continuous maintenance headache, not to mention lost productivity.

Hall effect sensors

Hall effect sensors are solid-state electronic devices. They consist of a voltage amplifier and a comparator circuit that drives a switching output. In a Hall effect sensor, a steady DC current passes through the thin Hall effect chip. The distribution of electrons across the element is uniform, and the current moves in a straight line with no potential difference generated at the outputs on the sides of the chip. As a radially oriented magnet approaches, the magnetic field is perpendicular to the current flow through the Hall element. The presence of the perpendicular magnet pushes the electrons out of their straight-line path and toward

one side of the chip. The imbalance of electron charge thus creates a potential voltage across the Hall effect element. The small microvoltage this creates is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. Once the voltage amplitude generated across the chip satisfies the threshold level of a comparator circuit, the sensor output switches on.

Since Hall effect sensors are electronic devices, they have no moving parts. Unlike a reed switch, their response time is not dependent on magnetic force overcoming mechanical inertia. They operate faster and are more resistant to shock and vibration. It might seem like an easy solution to simply replace reed switches with Hall effect sensors. The problem is that the magnetic field orientation of a cylinder designed for reed switches may be axial, whereas the orientation for a Hall effect sensor is radial. The result: a chance that a Hall effect sensor won't operate properly when activated by an axially oriented magnet. Another concern is that Hall effect sensors typically have low sensitivity, such that the magnetic field strength must be 30-60 Gauss. Finally, some inexpensive Hall effect sensors are susceptible to double switching, which occurs because the sensor detects both poles of the magnet, not simply one or the other.

In addition to the ruggedness benefits of solid-state construction, the magnetoresistive sensor offers better noise immunity, smaller physical size, and lower mechanical hysteresis (i.e., the difference in switch point when approaching the sensor from opposite directions). Quality manufacturers of magnetoresistive sensors incorporate additional output protection circuits to improve overall electrical robustness, such as overload protection, short-circuit protection, and reverse connection protection. Unlike Hall effect sensors, there are no double-switching points because the higher sensitivity of the magnetoresistive sensor

Comparison of Sensor Technologies

AMR magnetoresistive sensors

Another type of solid-state magnetic field sensor is the AMR magnetoresistive. Its operating principle is simple: the sensor element undergoes a change in resistance when a magnetic field is present, changing the flow of a bias current running through the sensing element. A comparator circuit detects the change in current and switches the sensor’s output. Compared to Hall effect sensing technology, which generates a tiny microvolt-level signal, the magnetoresistive element responds with a more robust 3-4% change in bias current. This results in more noise immunity and less susceptibility to false tripping. Magnetoresistive sensors are about 200 times more responsive than a typical Hall effect sensor to a given magnetic field strength. The practical magnetic field strength required to operate a magnetoresistive sensor can be as low as 15 Gauss. Improvements in magnetoresistive technology now allow these sensors to detect both axially and radially magnetized magnets.

allows it to remain on as the low-strength portion of the magnetic field passes under the sensor. Hall effect sensors, being less sensitive, often drop out at a weaker portion of a magnetic field located between two stronger areas. They switch on again when the field strength increases.

Leading manufacturers of magnetoresistive sensors have developed weld field immune versions that operate reliably in AC welding fields as strong as 200kA/m with no false signals or electrical damage. Many of these welding sensors are available with metallic housings to further guard against hot weld spatter that would melt into a plastic-bodied sensor.

Over the years, many users have abandoned the use of reed switches due to their failure rate and have utilized mechanical or inductive sensors to detect pneumatic cylinder position. AMR sensors are smaller, faster, and easier to integrate. They are much more reliable, but they must overcome a stigma left by their predecessors. With the vast improvements in sensor technology, AMR sensors should now be considered the primary solution for detecting cylinder position. •

PERFECT PROPORTION

Closed Loop Control for Mobile Applications

By Ben Dupre, Senior Technical Writer, HydraForce

for critical applications like autonomous steering has resulted in complex strategies to manage hysteresis, threshold, coil temperature, and other challenging variables in mobile hydraulics. The reliable control we’ve achieved was bought with much toil, including costly development and intensive tuning efforts to match the needed performance and field adjustment to correct system and component variation. Servo control is an excellent technology that is used widely in industrial hydraulics, but cost and durability have been significant barriers in mobile applications. These industrial servo controls are not designed for the harsh operating environments mobile machines work in every day. Cartridge valves fit well in a broad range of mobile applications, and HydraForce has built its portfolio around the demands of this market.

Control

The mobile hydraulics industry is ready for new technology. The leap forward comes with the adaptation of closed loop control in cartridge valve applications. Closed loop control employs feedback that defines an error or difference between actual and intended results, in this case spool position. Closed loop control can adjust its output to correct the error. The corrections are calculated and applied many times per second, faster than a vehicle operator could. This makes closed loop control very accurate and adaptive to internal variation such as manufacturing tolerances, hydrodynamic forces, and external factors like fluid condition, coil temperature, and load changes.

With Innercept digital proportional control, HydraForce combines servo valve accuracy and repeatability with cartridge valve flexibility and compactness less expensively than industrial-style servo valves.

Innercept uses the SP10-P57FL fast-acting minimum-lap proportional directional valve, which is useful in auto-steering applications due to

its excellent linearity and responsive actuator. HydraForce research and development is also exploring this technology with other products, such as the PV line of pressure-compensated proportional flow controls and our PE piloted proportional directional valves.

The new digital proportional control integrates a linear variable displacement transformer position sensor with coil-mounted closed loop control. This integrated LVDT gives spool position accurate to within 0.11 mm (0.005 in).

The LVDT is a sensor that provides a signal variable to the axial position of a sensing core within a transformer. A driver circuit powers the primary winding with a constant amplitude AC supply and processes, rectifies, and filters the secondary current to provide a 0 to 5 V proportional output. This forms the feedback leg of the PID control. The sensor is adaptable to any HydraForce proportional actuator.

PID control

The ESDR-0201A is built on the successful HydraForce ExDR platform of valve drivers. With CAN networking, two PWM outputs, and one analog voltage input, its main function is a closed loop PID controller. The control receives a set point as a CAN message and can transmit status and diagnostic messaging back to the network. The vehicle designer sets parameters using HF-Impulse configuration and programming software, available for free download. This simple but powerful control offers greater stability with advanced parameters such as feed forward, windup guard, output limit, derivative filtering, integral window, and duty-cycle minimum. These additional control parameters allow fast response and greater control when tuning a PID loop.

HydraForce has precisely tuned this loop to optimize performance. The tuning fits most applications. But with the flexibility of the ESDR-0201A, users control all available parameters. Because the PID loop controls for spool position, not coil current as with other closed loop controls, it is able to virtually eliminate hysteresis, which typically limits the accuracy and repeatability of hydraulic controls. Also, because of the out-of-the-box optimized tuning, the control exhibits excellent step response, making it suitable for critical applications such as steering control in autonomous vehicles.

Hydrodynamic flow forces

While HydraForce flow control designs are informed by the latest CFD analysis tools and practices, hydrodynamics can still affect performance under certain conditions. A spool valve can begin to washout or self-shift as these forces overcome the actuator force, restricting flow. A major advantage of the digital proportional control is that it can increase the coil current to maintain the set point if feedback indicates washout is occurring.

Because of position feedback in the PID control loop, the digital proportional control achieves a perfectly linear flow profile, a feature not possible with open loop control. This is true plug-andplay operation, and it means the vehicle controller only has to manage the requested valve opening. It does not need to provide scaling profiles, perform current correction, or manage hysteresis.

The benefits of closed loop PID control are well known to industrial process controls. To date the technology has had a targeted impact in the mobile hydraulics sector, being adopted primarily in highspec, less cost-sensitive applications and on functions with critical performance demands. The demand on mobile vehicle controllers to execute PID across the spectrum of machine functions drives applications into faster, higher cost, higher I/O devices. HydraForce addresses these barriers to adoption with a unique distributed control strategy that allows simple plug-and-play CAN networked, coil-mounted drivers that can be easily added to individual functions as needed. Building a modular mobile machine architecture this way gives vehicle designers flexibility to develop solutions that fit within ever tightening cost and performance parameters.

The digital proportional control is built on the existing SP10-57FL platform. This directional flow control features a minimum lap spool. It is optimized for a responsive profile. In addition, HydraForce engineers designed and optimized the PID control, resulting in a 45% to 75% improvement in step response compared to open loop control of the same hardware.

Common wisdom dictates that what we can measure, we can manage.

With position feedback, the control system is always aware of the valve position, making it easy to manage and resulting in repeatability from valve to valve in all operating conditions. Traditional directional flow control valves can have a tolerance profile that allows variation in threshold, which must be adjusted for and controlled for accurate operation. Because it controls to a given spool position, the digital proportional control eliminates the need for threshold adjustments and controls threshold variation naturally. It also compensates for temperature changes that cause an increase in coil resistance and reduce maximum flow.

Innercept digital proportional control has many potential applications. Examples include auto-steering applications on agricultural tractors and earthmoving or grading equipment; semi and fully autonomous municipal vehicles like sweepers, salt spreaders, and refuse trucks; specialized harvesting equipment; precision application of agricultural chemicals; precision paving and road-milling machines; and railroad maintenance equipment.

Digital proportional controls are perfect for applications in which precision and response are key. With a fast-acting, repeatable directional flow control, one can achieve more stable autonomous functions like automatic steering or precise placing cargo in a narrow storage bay. More control-by-wire applications can open the use of rental machines to a broader range of less experienced operators. New possibilities are emerging every day. •

IFPE Gambling on Record Attendance

By Michael Degan, Editor, Fluid Power Journal

»

NEXT MONTH’S INTERNATIONAL Fluid Power Exposition is liable to be more crowded than the show three years ago.

IFPE, which runs March 14-18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and CONEXPO-CON/AGG, which co-locates at the convention center with IFPE, are reportedly on pace to exceed 2020 attendance.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers, producer of CONEXPO-CON/ AGG and IFPE, said in a press release that the 2023 event will be the “biggest in history.” The show is “now nearly 5% bigger than the record set in 2020,” AEM said in the press release.

If IFPE is more crowded this time, a new convenience may make getting around a little easier. A new underground transportation system will move attendees around the Las Vegas Convention Center campus. The Convention Center Loop, designed by Elon Musk’s The Boring Company tunnel construction business, will, free of charge, shuttle attendees around the campus in under two minutes with Tesla vehicles.

Next Level Awards

Attendees can take part in the first-ever Next Level Awards, which celebrate exhibiting companies pushing the boundaries and developing next-level products, technologies, and services designed to advance the construction industry. Ten finalists from among CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE exhibitors will be highlighted at the trade shows. Attendees visit the booths and vote for their favorites.

The program rewards exhibitors who’ve created products or services for the construction industry that have one or more of the following characteristics:

• Addresses a common industry need in a unique and innovative way.

• Benefits the industry across multiple applications for industry wide adoption.

• Positively impacts the safety, sustainability, and workforce of the industry.

Education

At IFPE, more than 375 exhibitors showcase the latest innovations in fluid power, power transmission, and motion control. Attendees have access to 170 education sessions and workshops providing professional development hours.

A session Wednesday in IFPE’s Fluid Power Trends and Tech category is Sensors – Data and Performance, led by Carl Dyke, founder of LunchBox Sessions. The seminar explains low- and no-cost ways to improve compressed air efficiency, and strategies available now that use the low capital investment to achieve big gains in efficiency and cost control. Dyke dives deep into sensor technologies, how they work, and their numerous applications.

On Thursday, you can catch the Future of Off-Highway and On-Highway Autonomy, presented by Peter Bleday, head of the autonomy, incubation division of Danfoss Power Solutions. He poses the question, With autonomous

on-highway vehicles seemingly on the brink of becoming commonplace, why not just adopt those systems for off-highway use? To answer, he examines the complexities of developing autonomous equipment and the benefits of autonomous machines.

Sustainability

Many fluid power companies highlight their commitment to sustainability in their products and processes, and rightfully so. It will likely be evident among exhibitors. But AEM, the shows’ producer, wants you to know that they, too, are committed to helping the environment. The shows’ websites note that “CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE are committed to reducing the environmental impact of the show. This includes partnering with vendors that are dedicated to sustainable practices and reducing waste, helping exhibitors choose more sustainable options, and measuring our total 2023 environmental impact to identify future improvements.”

MARGIN OF SAFETY

BUCHER ADDS LOAD-CONTROL VALVES

By Michael Pyper for Bucher Hydraulics

Bucher

Hydraulics recently expanded its portfolio of safety valves with a new load-control valve for winches, as well as additional sizes of other load-control valves and pipe-rupture safety devices.

When enormous wind turbine rotor blades or entire building roofs have to be positioned with millimeter accuracy, valves from Bucher Hydraulics are usually used, especially for heavy loads. Bucher is expanding an already wide range of safety load-control valves. The CINDY follower principle, which has been tried and tested for decades, continues to play an important role.

“We have expanded our range of load-control valves with a new version, the LCW – load-control valve for winches – developed specifically for winch applications,” René Müller, product manager – safety valves at Bucher Hydraulics, said in a press release.

Also new to the product portfolio: the compact flow control and safety valve, a size 25 pipe-rupture valve with a flat design.

Functional integration

“The pilot pressure bypass formerly needed a separate line. With the new LCW, we have succeeded in integrating it into the return line of the winch load-control valve,” Müller said, noting that the valve saves OEMs costs during installation because they have fewer components to install and the piping requirements are reduced.

In addition, the LCW is characterized by particularly sensitive and responsive starting behavior – important for positioning the heaviest loads with millimeter precision. Another aspect in times of rapidly rising energy costs is optimized efficiency, which is due to reduced throttling and pressure peaks during lifting and lowering.

Safety valves protect man and machine. Depending on the applicable standards, manufacturers use load-control valves or pipe-rupture safety devices. If heavy loads have to be precisely moved, held, and positioned, or if work access platforms have to hold their position and withstand great forces, Bucher’s safety valves are a good choice.

Müller noted that, with CINDY technology, the company has a longproven concept for safety valves in a modular system. The valves offer a high opening ratio of 113:1, resulting in very small changes in pilot pressure for widely differing loads. Operators are happy that the joystick provides load-independent and responsive travel behavior. The low pilot pressure minimizes the energy required for lowering. For the end user, better energy efficiency saves operating costs.

“In addition, the bypass check valve, which is functionally integrated in a coaxial valve assembly, means a significantly smaller installation space for the valve,” Müller said.

Common safety valves close by means of spring force, which means it depends solely on the spring. Depending on the cylinder pressure, the spring applies considerable force, which is why this type of valve has an inherently lower level of safety.

“CINDY valves, on the other hand,” Müller said, “close due to the load pressure applied to the valve, which ensures maximum safety.”

CINDY valves can lift, hold, and lower. With SAE flange mounting, manifold mounting, and cartridge designs, three installation types are available. Valves with SAE flanges are available up to size 32 and allow a flow rate up to 1,200 lpm (317 gpm). The manifold-mounting version is available up to size 25 and has a maximum flow rate of 500 lpm (132 gpm). The cartridge design has a maximum size of 40, and it can be operated at a maximum flow rate of 1,300 lpm (343 gpm). The maximum operating pressure for all

variants is 420 bar (6,091 psi), which represents a design safety factor of 3. In line with the modular system concept, these three installation types can be equipped with various operating and control options for a wide range of applications. In addition, the system can be adapted quickly and easily to meet customer-specific requirements.

Pipe-rupture protection

In the event of a burst pipe or hose, pipe-rupture safety devices prevent an uncontrolled lowering movement. The relevant standards (EN 474 and ISO 8643) require this type of valve for machines working under certain conditions. For example, excavator pipe-rupture valves are required whenever a lifting device such as a load hook is attached to the excavator bucket and more than one metric ton can be lifted.

Continued on page 22

Bucher manufacturers load-control valves, pipe-rupture valves, and now load-control valves for winches.

CINDy CFS LCW

Continued from page 21

“As a general principle, work machinery must be equipped with pipe-rupture safety devices on actuators in dangerous situations,” Müller said.

Taking the example of an excavator, the standards refer to boom cylinders as well as stick and adjusting cylinders. In the event of a burst pipe or hose, a vertical lowering speed of 150 mm (6 inches) per second at the bucket (the specification for burst tests) may at most double.

Speaking about the compact flow control and safety valve (CFS), Müller said, “Our CFS pipe-rupture valve for excavators goes well beyond this standard: it keeps the lowering speed virtually constant.”

Another important point: the falling speed of the load must not exceed 10 mm (0.04 inches) per second in the holding position.

“Because our excavator pipe-rupture valves are leak-free, we exceed this requirement,” Müller said.

The valve must be mounted directly on the cylinder – with no hose or pipe between. However, the gap between the excavator superstructure and the boom cylinder is often quite narrow in relation to the hose peripherals or the maximum deflection of the boom, and there is a risk of collision. The flat design of the CFS provides the decisive millimeters that save the need for any modifications to the excavator's design when retrofitting this safety device.

The CFS valves also have an integral secondary pressure-relief valve to protect the actuators against overload. The actuator and inlet connections are standard SAE flanged ports, and the valves can therefore be retrofitted to existing machines without difficulty. Variations in load pressure – even to the maximum – have no effect on the fine-control characteristics and the hydraulic performance of the valve. In addition, the valve holds the actuator in its position when the main valve is centered.

The large opening ratio of 480:1 makes its mark with operators by delivering load-independent operation. The guaranteed closing force, even in the event of spring breakage, provides a high level of safety for man and machine if there is a malfunction.

Because the CFS pipe-rupture safety devices do not contain dynamic seals, the hysteresis is low, and the setting remains constant. Balanced load-lowering significantly reduces wear on the cylinder and ensures long service life as well as precise, finger-tip controllability.

The CFS pipe-rupture safety valves are available in the three sizes: 16 (SAE ¾" 6,000 psi-250 lpm), 20 (SAE 1" 6,000 psi-350 lpm) and 25 (SAE 1¼" 6,000 psi-600 lpm).

In its standard design, the CFS weighs half as much as most comparable products on the market. Thanks to the zinc-nickel plating, all valves meet exacting requirements for corrosion protection in the excavator’s harsh working environment. •

Applications for Bucher’s safety valves include, from left to right, mobile cranes, hydraulic excavators, and material handling machines.

TEMPOSONICS

Vacuum Basics a Mystery for Many Pros

By Daniel Pascoe, President, Davasol Inc.

» AS A TECHNOLOGY, vacuum is bundled into fluid power with pneumatics and hydraulics. That’s why you’re reading this article in Fluid Power Journal. But if vacuum is thrown in with fluid power, how come so few professionals understand it? Most know that many applications work alongside vacuum products. But vacuum is often misunderstood or ignored completely because “it works.”

This article reviews some basics, looking at what vacuum is and how it works in fluid power applications.

Vacuum can be defined as “a space entirely devoid of matter.” But a better explanation might say that vacuum is a known volume that has a lower pressure than that which immediately surrounds it. An example is the inside of a suction cup when it is sealed against a surface.

But how exactly does vacuum work, and how is it used in industrial applications?

How vacuum works

To help visualize my definition of a vacuum, figure 1 shows a tank that’s been filled with air molecules at atmospheric pressure and then sealed. A vacuum pumping device (like the venturi shown in figure 1) removes some of the gas molecules. This creates the vacuum (lower pressure) in the tank. The vacuum gauge shows the level of vacuum as it increases from zero and is now at 27 inches of mercury. If using a pressure gauge, the pressure would begin at atmosphere and decrease toward zero.

Units of measure

Figure 3 is a linear table of vacuum measurement units. Remember that, in an absolute pressure scale, indicated in the figure by (a), zero is absolute, a complete vacuum, “a space entirely devoid of matter.”

Inches of mercury, the most common unit of vacuum measurement in North America, could also be called pressure differential. When there is no vacuum, i.e., no change from atmospheric pressure, the reading on a vacuum gauge is zero, as shown in figure 1. As the pressure in the tank reduces, the vacuum level increases.

Torr is pressure measurement that uses the height of a column of mercury in millimeters, with 760 Torr being 1 atmosphere. As the pressure in the tank reduces, the Torr value decreases, with zero indicating a complete vacuum. 27” Hg equals 76 Torr. Another pressure measurement is the millibar (mbr), where 1013 mbr is 1 atmosphere. 27” Hg is 100 mbar. Both Torr and mbar measure gas pressure, whereas inches of mercury (“Hg) and minus kilopascals (-kPa) measure vacuum from a differential pressure reference, i.e., the difference from atmospheric pressure.

But what creates the vacuum force? Air around us has pressure that applies a force on the surface of an object. The taller the column of air, the greater the pressure. Imagine a column of air at sea level. The pressure at sea level is 14.7 psi (or 1 atmosphere), but as the column’s height decreases, the pressure also decreases. This is

Figure 1

Figure 3

Figure 4

Figure 2

illustrated in figure 4, where at the summit of Mount Everest – 29,000 feet – the atmospheric pressure is only 4.5 psi. A plane with a cruising altitude of 37,000 feet has an atmospheric pressure of only 3.1 psi. Mexico City has an average atmospheric pressure of 11.1psi.

Why is that even relevant? Vacuum pick and place machines are less effective in Mexico City than in New York City. Here’s why.

A vacuum cup does not suck itself against the product it is picking up; it is pushed against the product by atmospheric pressure. The lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the potential clamping force of the vacuum cup. As shown in figure 5, on the cup sealed against a surface, the vacuum is off. Turning on the vacuum reduces the pressure inside the cup. The higher atmospheric pressure pushes the box up against the cup and pushes the cup down onto the box. The cup is clamped by the higher atmospheric pressure on the outside pushing up and down. That is why the cup collapses. It is not being sucked down; it’s being pushed on.

How much weight can a suction cup lift or grip? Manufacturers use a simple calculation. Assume the cup is 2 inches in diameter. Find the area of the cup face on the product with the equation A = πr² where A is the area, π is 3.142, and r is the radius, which is ½ the diameter.

A = 3.142 x (0.5 x 2 in)2 = 3.142 square inches

According to the chart, the differential pressure between atmospheric and the pressure under the cup is about 13 psi. Reduced from 14.7 to 1.7 psi inside the cup, the differential pressure is 13 psi.

A 3.142 square inch cup is:

3.142 (area) x 13 (differential pressure) = 40.85 pounds

That’s how a suction cups works in a theoretical lifting application. If you have an eight-pound box, use four cups that can lift at least 10 pounds each, one in each corner. A safety factor is your choice. Personally, I use as much as the customer can afford, but a factor of at least 6:1.

We’ve discussed some basics about vacuum versus atmospheric pressure. The type of pump, cup, and vacuum control also affect efficient vacuum pick and place systems. •

STOPPING & HOLDING LOADS SAFELY

Whenever a cylinder accelerates, stops, or decelerates, it applies classic Newtonian laws of motion.

Considerable effort goes into designing a cylinder circuit that will accelerate a load in a specific amount of time. The same consideration should apply to safely stopping a load. Lack of planning can generate significant shock loads on the cylinder, the mechanism, or both. The compressible nature of air further complicates the deceleration once the load stops. Care must be taken that the air pressure trapped in the deceleration process is not enough to overcome friction and cause the actuator to move in the opposite direction.

Locking cylinders

When stopping a load midstroke, using pilot operated check valves or closed center directional control valves may cause a “bounce back” effect if the valve closes suddenly. The severity of the effect depends on the load inertia-to-friction and the cylinder-force ratios, and the trapped air volume. Using a valve to stop a load does not ensure holding it in place for long periods. Leakage of piston seals or valve spools can allow the cylinder to drift if an external load or force is present.

Force balance is accomplished by using a pressure-centered valve with a regulator and check in one or both of the work ports. The pressures in the cylinder ports are based on the respective piston areas and the external load being applied. This circuit holds the load, provided the load magnitude does not change.

When stopping a load, consider the allowable travel. Stopping a light load in a short distance may require a stopping force much higher than the one needed to accelerate the load.

Cylinder cushions are only useful when the machine function uses the full cylinder extension. Cushions provide more protection for the cylinder than for the load. For operations in which the cylinder does not

travel to the end of its stroke, a stopping circuit or mechanical stop may be required. The stop must be robust enough to stop the load without being damaged. Elastomeric bumpers inside the cylinder prevent metalto-metal contact of the piston and the end caps.

To safely stop a load, its kinetic energy must be dissipated in the allowable distance. This energy usually converts to heat. The decelerating device’s design must include the cycle time to ensure the heat buildup does not damage the device.

Dynamic brakes that stop a moving load differ from cylinder locks designed for static holding, which should not be used for dynamic stopping. Use static locks for an emergency stop condition, then closely inspect them for damage or wear. The load should stop before the lock is applied. If the lock activates while the cylinder is moving, it may damage the cylinder rod. Continued actuation when the rod is still moving shortens the functional life and potentially damages the rod and brake mechanism. The cylinder lock can be integrated into the housing or as an optional attachment. A cam-operated locking device that acts on the cylinder rod is usually unidirectional. It can be configured to prevent the load from extending or retracting the cylinder. A tapered-style locking mechanism prevents the load from moving in either direction. A third option uses a brake-pad style that clamps onto the rod. The recommended practice is to design the lock to have a holding force greater than the cylinder force output. Most locks are spring-applied pressure release. A separate circuit supplies the pilot to the brake mechanism at the same time the main directional valve shifts to move the cylinder.

Stop pins are intended for static holding. Cylinders can have integral stop pins that use internal porting to disengage the stop pin and require no external control. For cylinders with no integral stop pins, the common method to control a stop pin is to use a 3/2 directional valve to retract a single-acting spring-extend cylinder. If the valve is de-energized or air

TEST YOUR SKILLS

1. Which type of valve provides the pilot signal to the brake mechanism on a spring-applied pilot-to-release locking cylinder?

a. Check valve.

b. 2/2 normally closed.

c. 3/2 normally closed.

d. Stop valve.

e. Lockup valve.

2. The preferred method for stopping and holding a midstroke load long term is

a. a pilot operated check valve with a closed center 5/3 valve.

b. a meter-in flow control with a closed center 5/3 valve.

c. a vented center 5/3 valve with a spring-applied load lock.

d. a pilot operated check valve and stop pins.

e. cylinder cushions and a closed center 5/3 valve.

pressure is lost, the cylinder spring extends the stop pin into a mating hole to stop or hold the load. Lack of air pressure prevents the cylinder from retracting, even if the valve actuates. This method is preferred for holding a load and preventing it from moving, rather than stopping it midstroke.

Starting the actuator after lockup requires additional consideration. Depending on the application, pressurizing the actuator prematurely may make unlocking difficult or result in jumping when the lock releases. If the lock prevented a “fall back” condition, you may need to pressurize the actuator in the opposite direction to release the lock without dropping the load. •

Step 1: Find the volume of the air tank.

Volume of a sphere (2 ends) = 4 x πr³

3

(4 x π x 10³) / 3 = 4,188.79 cubic inches

Area of remaining tank = D² x .7,854 = 20² x .7854 = 314.16 square inches

Volume = area x length: 314.16 x 40 = 12,566.4 cubic inches.

Note: (60” – 20” = 40”)

Volume of tank is 4,188.79 + 12,566.4 = 16,755.19 cubic inches

Converting to cubic feet = 16,755.18 / 1,728 = 9.7 cubic feet

Step 2: Calculate differential volume in standard cubic feet. SCF volume at 100 psig requires calculating the compression ratio

CR = 100 + 14.7 = 7.8 : 1

14.7

V = 9.7 x 7.8 = 75.63 scf @ 100 psig

SCF volume at 80 psig also requires calculating the compression ratio

CR = 80 + 14.7 = 6.44 : 1

14.7

V = 9.67 x 6.44 = 62.3 scf @ 80 psig

Differential volume = 75.63 – 62.46 = 13.17 scf

Step 3: Calculate the cost of the air.

Cost of air / 1,000 scf =$.45 x 13.17 = $.0059 1000

Twice a day = $.0059 x 2 = $.012 / day

$50/.012= 4,166.66 days($50 comes from the cost of the valve) /30 = 138.9 months/12 = 11.6 years.

November Fluid Power Shipments Down

Fluid power shipments dropped in November, according to data from the National Fluid Power Association. Raw index data shows that pneumatic, mobile hydraulic, and industrial hydraulic shipments all decreased in November when compared to October. The year-to-date percent change for total fluid power shipments in November was 16.9%, down from 17.6% in October. The 12-month moving average of shipments for pneumatics, hydraulics, and total fluid power continues to grow. Mobile hydraulic orders received from December 2021 to November 2022 are currently 104.2% of the orders received from December 2020 to November 2021. The following charts are drawn from NFPA’s Confidential Shipment Statistics (CSS) program.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Shipments

Raw Index Data, Index: 2018=100

Shipments – Cumulative year‐to‐date % change (2022 vs. 2021)

This graph of raw index data is generated by the total dollar volume reported to NFPA by CSS participants and compared to the average monthly dollar volume in 2018. For example, the November 2022 total dollar volume for pneumatic shipments is 105.9% of the average monthly dollar volume in 2018. (Base Year 2018 = 100)

The table above is expressed in terms of cumulative percent changes. These changes refer to the percent difference between the relevant cumulative total for 2022 and the total for the same months in 2021. For example, November 2022 pneumatic shipments figure of 8.2 means that for the calendar year through November 2022, pneumatic shipments increased 8.2% compared to the same time-period in 2021.

Pneumatic, Mobile, and Industrial Hydraulic Orders 12/12 Ratio

Each point on this graph represents the most recent 12 months of orders compared to the previous 12 months of orders. Each point can be read as a percentage. For example, 118.5 (the November 2022 level of the industrial hydraulic series) indicates that industrial hydraulic orders received from December 2021 to November 2022 were 118.5% of the orders received from December 2020 to November 2021. (Base Year 2018 = 100)

Total - Hydraulic and Pneumatic Shipments 12 Month Moving Average

This graph of 12-month moving averages shows that in November 2022, total fluid power, total pneumatic, and total hydraulic all increased. (Base Year 2018 = 100)
