OBJECTIVES:
1. To draw, assemble, test and describe the operation of a single double acting
hydraulic cylinder in extension, retraction and stopped position.
2. To draw, assemble, test and describe the operation of a single two
directionals hydraulic motor in two rotation direction.

APPARATUS:
Hydraulic trainer set c/w power unit, pressure relief valve, pressure gauge, 4/3
way directional control valve, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic motor and
hydraulic hoses.

PROCEDURE:
1) Draw the relevant hydraulic circuit on AUTOMATION STUDIO.
2) Test the circuit using the simulated function in the AUTOMATION STUDIO.
3) Assemble the circuit you have drawn in AUTOMATION STUDIO on the
Hydraulic Trainer.
4) Test you assembled circuit to show that it is fully functional. Before testing
please consult your lab supervisor.
5) Write a report on what you have done.
(NOTE: In this practical assignment, you must produced two (2) hydraulic
circuits. One is a circuit to control a double acting hydraulic cylinder and
another to control a single two directionals hydraulic motor. Discuss with your
lab supervisor(s) on how to safely perform the tasks.)

EXAMPLE CIRCUIT: Hydraulic Cylinder Circuit

1) Assemble the hydraulic circuit as shown in FIGURE 1 according to the

following steps:
Connect IN port of the directional control valve to PRESSURE
manifold
Connect Port A t cylinder rod end
Connect Port B to cylinder cap end.
Connect OUT port of directional control valve to TANK manifold
2) Shift the directional control valve handle to left and right direction and
observe the cylinder extension and retraction.

EXAMPLE CIRCUIT: Hydraulic Motor Circuit

1) Assemble the hydraulic circuit as shown in FIGURE 2 according to the

following steps:
Connect IN port of the directional control valve to PRESSURE
manifold
Connect Port A to hydraulic motor inlet
Connect Port B to hydraulic motor outlet
Connect OUT port of directional control valve to TANK manifold
2) Shift the directional control valve handle to left and right direction and
observes the motor rotation..
