Intended use
The mobile hydraulics basic and advanced level training packages are only to be used:
for the intended purpose in teaching and training applications
when their safety functions are in flawless condition
The components in the training packages are designed in accordance with the latest technology as well as
recognised safety rules. However, life and limb of the user and third parties may be endangered, and the
components may be impaired, if they are used incorrectly.
The learning system from Festo Didactic has been developed and produced exclusively for training and
continuing vocational education in the field of automation technology. The training companies and/or
trainers must ensure that all trainees observe the safety instructions described in this workbook.
Festo Didactic hereby excludes all liability for damage suffered by the trainee, the training company and/or
any other third parties as a result of use of these equipment sets outside a purely training situation, unless
Festo Didactic has caused this damage wilfully or through gross negligence.
VIII
Preface
Festo Didactics training system for automation and technology is geared towards various educational
backgrounds and vocational requirements. The learning system is therefore broken down as follows:
Technology oriented training packages
Mechatronics and factory automation
Process automation and control technology
Mobile robotics
Hybrid learning factories
The training system for automation and technology is continuously updated and expanded in accordance
with developments in the field of education, as well as actual professional practice.
The training packages deal with various technologies including pneumatics, electro-pneumatics,
servopneumatics, hydraulics, electro-hydraulics, proportional hydraulics, servohydraulics, mobile
hydraulics, programmable logic controllers, sensor technology, electrical engineering, electronics and
electric drives.
The modular design of the training system allows for applications which go above and beyond the
limitations of the individual training packages. For example, PLC actuation of pneumatic, hydraulic and
electric drives is possible.
IX
Introduction
This workbook is part of the training system for automation technology from Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG.
The system provides a solid basis for practice oriented training and vocational education. The mobile
hydraulics workbook communicates the basics and fundamental knowledge on the hydraulic systems of
mobile work machines.
The contents of the workbook are project exercises on the basic level of working hydraulics (TP 801),
advanced level steering systems (TP 802) and advanced level working hydraulics (TP 803). The workbook
also contains a basic information section on mobile hydraulics.
The basic level working hydraulics (TP 801) is suitable for basic training in mobile hydraulics.
Using practice-related problem descriptions, the energy balances of different hydraulic systems (also while
loaded) will be examined and evaluated. Control systems with multiple consuming devices are set up in
parallel, tandem and series connections and examined in relation to priority, flow rate distribution, and
pressure dependency. Further course topics are the behaviour of consuming devices while under loads and
the options for safely holding and lowering a load. Basic knowledge of hydraulic device technology is a
prerequisite.
The advanced level steering system (TP 802) communicates the basics of hydrostatic steering systems with
suitable hydraulic controls. The controllers contain typical components of a steering system like steering
valve, shock and anti-cavitation valve, steering cylinder and, if required, a secondary consuming device.
In the project exercises for advanced level working hydraulics (TP 803), details of the working hydraulics are
expanded upon and hydraulic controls with load-sensing controlled variable displacement pump will be set
up and examined.
Technical prerequisites for setting up the controllers include:
A Learnline or Learntop-S workstation equipped with Festo Didactic slotted profile plates.
A hydraulic power unit with constant displacement pump (volumetric flow rate: 4 l/min) for TP 801 and
TP 802, a hydraulic power unit with constant displacement pump (volumetric flow rate: 4 l/min) and
load-sensing controlled variable displacement pump for TP 803.
A power pack with short-circuit protection (input: 230 V, 50 Hz, output: 24 V, max. 5 A).
Laboratory safety cables
The practical execution of the nine project exercises for TP 801 requires a TP 801 equipment set. One TP 801
and TP 802 equipment set is required for the practical execution of each of the five project exercises for
TP 802. An additional TP 803 equipment set is necessary for the practical execution of the seven project
exercises for TP 803.
The theoretical fundamentals for understanding these exercises can be found in the following textbooks:
Hydraulics, basic level
Electro-hydraulics, basic level
as well as in the appendix to this workbook.
Data sheets for the individual components are also available (cylinders, valves, sensors etc.).
XI
General
Trainees should only work with the circuits under the supervision of a trainer.
Electrical devices (e.g. power supply units, compressors and hydraulic power units) may only be
operated in laboratory rooms which are equipped with residual current devices (RCDs).
Observe specifications included in the technical data for the individual components, and in particular all
safety instructions!
Malfunctions which may impair safety must not be generated in the training environment, and must be
eliminated immediately.
Wear personal safety gear (safety glasses, safety shoes) when working on circuits.
Mechanical system
Only reach into the setup when it is at a complete standstill.
Mount all of the components securely onto the slotted profile plate.
Limit switches may not be actuated frontally.
Danger of injury during troubleshooting!
Use a tool to actuate the limit switches, for example a screwdriver.
Set all components up so that activation of switches and disconnectors is not made difficult.
Adhere to the instructions regarding positioning of the components.
Always set up cylinders together with the appropriate cover.
Electrical functions
Use extra-low voltage only (max. 24 V DC).
Establish or interrupt electrical connections only in the absence of voltage!
Use only connecting cables with safety plugs for electrical connections.
When disconnecting connector cables, only pull by the plug, never by the cable.
Hydraulics
Limit system pressure to 6 MPa (60 bar).
Maximum permissible pressure for all devices included in the training package is 12 MPa (120 bar).
In the case of double-acting cylinders, pressure could be increased relative to the surface area ratio due
to pressure boosting. With a surface area ratio of 1:1.7 and a system pressure of 6 MPa (60 bar), it may
amount to more than 10 MPa (100 bar).
Danger of injury due to oil temperatures of greater than 50 C!
Hydraulic fluid with an oil temperature of greater than 50 C may result in burns or scalding.
XII
Mounting technology
The mounting boards for the components are equipped with mounting variant A, B or C:
Variant A, snap-in system
Lightweight devices which cannot be subjected to loads (e.g. directional control valves and sensors).
Simply clip the components into the slots on the slotted profile plate. Release the components from the
slots by actuating the blue lever.
Variant B, rotary system
Components with medium load capacity (e.g. hydraulic cylinders). These components are clamped to
the slotted profile plate with T-head bolts. The blue knurled nut is used for clamping and loosening.
Make sure that the T-head bolts have been turned 90 after tightening.
Variant C, screw system
For devices with high load capacity and devices which are seldom removed from the slotted profile plate
(e.g. the hydraulic power unit). These devices are fastened with socket head screws and T-head nuts.
Required accessories
Two digital multimeters are required to evaluate exercises which make use of the flow sensor.
The output voltage of the flow sensor is measured with the multimeter.

When is power loss PV particularly high? Give reasons for your answer.
Power loss (PV) is particularly high when the flow rate of the consuming device (q2) is low. In this case,
almost the entire delivery rate of the pump unit must discharge at maximum pressure through the
pressure-relief valve.

1 Introduction
There are a number of special conditions which occur in mobile hydraulics but not in industrial hydraulics:
No regular working cycle
In industrial hydraulic systems, the force acting on the drive is normally constant. With mobile systems,
on the other hand, the operative force is extremely variable. For hydraulic applications with variable
force and speed, the use of a constant-displacement pump and a maximum pressure safety valve is not
an economic solution.
Generally no external energy supply
Harsh environmental conditions
These may include large temperature differences, dust and impacts.
Limited installation space
Limited weight
From the above we derive the requirements for mobile hydraulic systems:
Efficiency in energy consumption
The most important consideration in mobile systems is efficiency: As mobile machines generally move
independently from any power source, the power supply is limited. In most cases, the only power
source is an internal combustion engine with a limited fuel supply.
Compact design
The individual components of mobile machines, such as tanks, pumps, motors, cylinders and valves
should be kept as small and light as possible. In order to achieve the desired performance with small
components, it is necessary to increase the pressure. Higher pressure in turn demands valves with close
tolerances in order to minimise leakage losses. Close-tolerance valves and the high performance
density make it necessary to pay more attention to filtering and cooling the hydraulic fluid.
Robust design
The components are subjected to wide temperature fluctuations. Moreover, the drives are frequently
subject to wide and rapid fluctuations in force. External drives and supply-line hoses are directly
exposed to dirt and collisions, for example with excavated material. This means that the hydraulic
components must be of robust design.
