100

I store the hydraulic fluid used by the system

Reservoir / Tank

100

I allow hydraulic fluid to flow in one direction but prevent it from flowing backward.

Check Valve 

100

I am the movement of hydraulic fluid through a circuit

Flow

100

I convert hydraulic energy into straight-line mechanical motion.

Cylinder

100

I allow hydraulic hoses to be connected and disconnected quickly.

Quick Connect Fitting

200

: I move hydraulic fluid through the hydraulic system.

Pump

200

I control the amount or rate of hydraulic fluid moving through a circuit.

Flow Control Valve

200

I am force acting on a specific area.

Pressure

200

I am the rod connected to the piston that moves in and out of the cylinder.

Piston Rod

200

I am dirt or unwanted material in hydraulic oil that can damage components.

Contamination

300

I remove contamination from hydraulic fluid.

Filter

300

I determine which direction hydraulic oil flows and therefore which direction an actuator moves.

Directional Control Valve

300

I am an English unit of pressure meaning pounds per square inch.

PSI

300

I am the internal part of a cylinder that moves when hydraulic pressure acts on me.

Piston

300

 I am an area where moving parts could trap or crush fingers or other body parts.

Pinch Point

400

I have several connected ports and can distribute or collect hydraulic fluid.

Manifold

400

I maintain a lower pressure in one portion of a hydraulic circuit.

Pressure control valve

400

A reduction in pressure as fluid moves through a component or restriction.


Pressure Drop

400

I am a serious injury caused when high-pressure hydraulic fluid penetrates the skin.

Double acting Cylinder

400

I am a serious injury caused when high-pressure hydraulic fluid penetrates the skin

Fluid Injection Injury

500

I include the motor, pump, reservoir, relief valve, and filter and supply hydraulic oil to the trainer circuit.

Power Unit

500

I protect the hydraulic system by limiting its maximum pressure.

Relief Valve

500

I am a reduction in pressure that occurs as hydraulic fluid travels through a component or restriction.

Pressure Drop

500

I am the end of a hydraulic cylinder opposite the piston rod.

Cap End

500

I am the line that carries hydraulic oil from the circuit back toward the reservoir.

Return Line
