    I love the breakdown of this video. I just bought a tow behind backhoe that uses a two-stage pump and does not have any power to lift the boom. What would be the first thing to look at on these pumps that could possibly fail? Remember these are China pumps.
    My next thing I would like to do is buy a better quality pump to replace this one so my back home can work better.

    Very good video! Two of my neighbors have been working on a log splitter for 6 weeks off and on. They can not get it to work correctly. You said there was an upcoming video on making adjustments to the pump. Am I just not seeing it? This is what the have and the issue. 16 gpm 2 stage pump as shown in the video, a 17hp gas engine, a 4" bore, 2 1/2" ram, 45" travel, 6 gallons oil, oil filter, a valve rated at 25 gpm max. Pressure on host pump to valve 700 psi static 1000 in one direction. Calculations suggest 12 seconds travel pushing and 30 seconds return. It is running very slow. 45 seconds push 80 seconds return. Does this sound like a restriction or a pump adjustment? Thank you for your time! Respectfully, Kevin

    • @althesmith
      @althesmith ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not Kevin but what RPM is the motor running at? That's the single most important factor in the Ram speed. the 16 gpm is when the pump is being driven at 3600-4000 RPM- if you're only running half the speed all you'll be getting is about 7-8 gpm which will be a lot slower than you're expecting.

    So, what if you were prepared to up your game on the horsepower side of things, for example (figuratively speaking) you threw a fully blown 454 Chevy Big Block up front, so HP was no longer a problem, is there a way of eeking both high volume ‘and’ high pressure out of the same pump in order to run a massive ram at respectable cycle speeds? Thanks.

    • @hydraulics
      @hydraulics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      no need for a 2 stage pump if you have unlimited HP. But most machines have intermittent needs for high flow, and then other scenarios where they need high pressure. So even a large excavator with a 500HP engine will still have a system that balances flow and pressure. (excavator will do it with a variable displacement piston pump, but the concept is the same). Tough digging needs high pressure, then traveling on level ground or casting material needs high flow, so the pump displacement will always be changing. Engines need to have a good load on them to stay healthy, clean and run efficiently.

    Hello, Excellent lesson. Could you please tell me how the intake suction line is held in place. Mine is leaking around that fitting and when removing the intake hose the fitting will come right out. It does not look like it is broke off and I see no threads. There is no
    O ring inside. I had to replace the love joy coupler and it has leaked for a while so I thought I would fix that as well, could not figure out and put it all back together and still leaks. Any help would be great. Thanks!!

      @@harrymarshall6047 pumps don't make pressure, they make the oil flow (flow is required to overcome pressure as well so the pump could be the issue) . Your issue could be just about anywhere in the system from pump to cylinder. "No pressure" is not a quantity that helps in troubleshooting , it just lets you know you have to start troubleshooting which requires knowledge of the entire system.

    Hystat---Are the two gears on the driven shaft keyed to that shaft---such that both the wide and narrow gears are turning at the same speed? I have one apart now and don't see that there is a 'cutaway' on the driven shaft to accommodate a key? I believe you stated in the video that these two gears are keyed to their shaft?

    • @hydraulics
      @hydraulics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      on this one, both wide and narrow are keyed to the longest shaft. The only gear not keyed is the other narrow one, but it will be going the same speed as it's shaft by default. Yours might drive across and back from the idler shaft. Sometimes they do that.

      @@hydraulics Yes. but the two larger gears are meshed and thus the short shaft gear also runs at it's given speed----------same for the two narrow gears as they are also meshed? right. So it would seem to me that neither gear on the short shaft would need to be keyed to it's shaft? I don't quite get it why one gear--the wider one would be keyed to it's shaft?

      @@DeseretRider I guess so the shaft turns. Otherwise, the shaft may not turn the same speed as the gears, or not at all, and there is no bearing inside the gears so they wouldn't want the shaft spinning a different speed from gear rpm. The bearings are on the ends. Those engineers... they think of everything!
