The term 'jack stalling' means
|
Air pressure is preventing full extension of the jack
|
Compared to hydraulic actuating systems, pneumatic systems of the same operating pressure
|
Exert less force
|
In a hydraulic system with an operating pressure of 3000 psi, an actuator measuring 10 inches by 10 inches would exert a force of
|
300000
|
A restrictor valve is fitted to the landing gear hydraulic system of a large jet aircraft is to
|
Prevent hydraulic cavitation during gear extension
|
Where in the hydraulic system is the restrictor valve located
|
In the return line of the gear extension system
|
Restrictor valve
|
Limits the speed of operation of the actuator in one direction
|
Two types of hydraulic pumps
|
Constant displacementconstant pressure (variable displacement)
|
Which type of pump requires the use of a pressure regulator
|
Only constant displacement pumps as variable displacement pumps are able to vary fluid output
|
Operating pressure of hydraulic system in large aircraft
|
3000 psi
|
When used to operate powered controls, large aircraft hydraulic systems require
|
An artificial feel system
|
Where is the pressure regulator located in a hydraulic system
|
After the pump
|
The pressure accumulators purposes are
|
To provide emergency pressure in the event of a pump failureto smooth out pressure variations in the linesreduce knocking and hammering
|
Shuttle valves
|
Allow the alternate system to pressurise the lines and provide system operation
|
Priority valves
|
Automatically shut off supply to non-essential services in the event of a hydraulic fluid leak
