OIL PUMP
OIL PUMP The engine oil pump is a critical component of an internal combustion engine’s lubrication system. Its primary function is to circulate oil throughout the engine to lubricate moving parts, reduce friction, dissipate heat, and remove contaminants. Here’s how an engine oil pump works and its functions: Location and Design: The oil pump is […]
AIR SENSOR
AIR SENSOR Excavators, like many modern vehicles and machinery, often incorporate various sensors to monitor different aspects of their operation, including air quality. While excavators may not typically have dedicated “air sensors” in the same way that air quality monitors do, they do utilize sensors to monitor factors such as intake air temperature, pressure, and […]
TENSIONER
TENSIONER A pulley tensioner is a type of tensioner commonly used in belt-driven systems to maintain the tension in a belt loop. It consists of a pulley mounted on a movable arm or bracket, which is typically spring-loaded. The primary function of a pulley tensioner is to apply and maintain the proper tension in the belt, ensuring smooth […]
PRESSURE SENSOR
PRESSURE SENSOR A pressure sensor is a device that measures pressure and converts it into an electrical signal. It is commonly used in various applications to monitor and control pressure levels within systems. Here’s how a pressure sensor typically functions and works: Pressure Sensing Element: The core component of a pressure sensor is the pressure […]
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE A hydraulic directional control valve is a device used in hydraulic systems to control the flow of hydraulic fluid (usually oil) and to direct it to specific actuators or sections of a hydraulic circuit. These valves can control the direction of fluid flow, starting, stopping, and regulating the flow rate. Here are […]
RELIEF VALVE
RELIEF VALVE A relief valve and a control valve are typically separate components in a fluid control system, each serving distinct functions. However, they can sometimes be integrated for specific applications. 1. **Relief Valve Function**:– **Pressure Protection**: The primary function of a relief valve is to protect a system from overpressure conditions. When the pressure […]
MAIN PUMP COUPLING
MAIN PUMP COUPLING The main pump coupling in various contexts, such as in industrial machinery or automotive systems, serves the vital function of connecting the power source (such as an engine or motor) to the pump shaft. This coupling transfers mechanical power from the source to the pump, enabling it to operate and perform its […]
ENGINE MOUNTING
ENGINE MOUNTING Engine mounting serves several crucial functions in a vehicle: Support and Securement: Engine mounts securely hold the engine and transmission in place within the vehicle’s chassis. They provide a stable foundation for the powertrain components, preventing excessive movement, shifting, or vibration during operation. Vibration Isolation: Engines produce significant vibrations and harmonic oscillations during […]
STARTER RELAY
STARTER RELAY A starter relay, also known as a solenoid, is a crucial component in starting a vehicle’s engine. Here’s how it works: Overall, the starter relay serves as a switch that uses a small amount of current to control a much larger current flow, enabling the starting of the vehicle’s engine safely and efficiently.
ENGINE FAN
ENGINE FAN Heat Dissipation: The engine fan helps dissipate heat generated by the engine during operation. As the engine works, it produces a significant amount of heat. The fan contributes to the cooling system by assisting in the removal of this heat. Airflow Regulation: The fan creates airflow over the radiator and other heat exchangers in the […]
