  2. Hydraulic seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_seal

    A hydraulic seal is a relatively soft, non-metallic ring, captured in a groove or fixed in a combination of rings, forming a seal assembly, to block or separate fluid in reciprocating motion applications. Hydraulic seals are vital in machinery. Their use is critical in providing a way for fluid power to be converted to linear motion.

  3. Tail lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_lift

    A hydraulic cantilever tail lift on the back of a truck Four stages of deployment on an ambulance tail lift Control for a tail lift. A tail lift (term used in the UK, also called a "liftgate" in North America) is a mechanical device permanently installed on the rear of a work truck, van, or lorry, and is designed to facilitate the handling of goods from ground level or a loading dock to the ...

  4. Gate (hydraulic engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_(hydraulic_engineering)

    Within the gate valve, there is a gatelike disk that moves up and down perpendicular to the path of flow and seats against two seat faces to shut off flow. The velocity of the fluid against a partly opened disk may cause vibration and chattering which will ultimately lead to damage to the seating surfaces. This is a common way that gate valves ...

  5. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_valve

    An electric multi-turn actuator on a gate valve. A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened.

  6. Hydraulic machinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_machinery

    Hydraulic fuses are in-line safety devices designed to automatically seal off a hydraulic line if pressure becomes too low, or safely vent fluid if pressure becomes too high. Auxiliary valves in complex hydraulic systems may have auxiliary valve blocks to handle various duties unseen to the operator, such as accumulator charging, cooling fan ...

  7. Tommy Gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Gate

    Tommy Gate is an American brand of hydraulic liftgate, or tail lift, manufactured by Woodbine Manufacturing Company. The company was formed in 1965 by Delbert "Bus" Brown and its production facility is located in Woodbine, Iowa .

  8. O-ring boss seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring_boss_seal

    An o-ring boss seal is a technique for joining two fluid-carrying pipes, hoses, or tubing. In an o-ring boss (abbreviated ORB) system, a male-threaded part is inserted into a female-threaded part, providing a mechanical seal. This system differs from others in that a nut is tightened over an o-ring in a chamfered area, creating a fluid-tight ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

    The hydraulic cylinders on this excavator operate the machine's linkages. Hydraulic cylinders in a hot press of a particle board machine. A hydraulic cylinder (also called a linear hydraulic motor) is a mechanical actuator that is used to give a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke.
