DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF HYDRAULIC POWER PACK

Abstract

The project is aimed at the Design & Analysis of hydraulic power pack. This Hydraulic power pack is used to obtain the various motions of the honing machine, Clamping and unclamping is also done with hydraulic system. Hence versatility and reliability of hydraulics is prime importance. The power pack is an integral supply unit usually containing a pump, reservoir, relief valve and direction control valve, Pressure control valve. For the purpose of design of hydraulic power pack, the component are to be designed are pump, reservoir, heat exchanger and an electric motor. Hydraulic drives and controls have become more important due to automation and mechanization. Many of the modern and powerful machinery are controlled partly or completely by hydraulics. Hydraulic system is less complicated and has less moving parts. Today drive and control system engineering is inconceivable without hydraulics. Special emphasis is made on
design of power pack in which the elements, maintenance aspects and trouble-shooting methods is dealt with. A lathe of one meter admits between centers is used for retro fitting. The main head stock and tail stock are replaced by work fixture and tool motor. The base of tail stock is retained and a geared motor of 60rpm is used for primary cutting motion. A special fixture is designed to hold a cylinder liner of 200mm bore.
