Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лис 2014
- This is the first of a special set of videos we have created on hydraulic systems and troubleshooting.
Session 1 will include components of a hydraulic system, and the fundamental elements that govern them.
I had help from a very special friend of mine to create this series, and we hope that it is informative, and entertaining to the viewer.
Enjoy!
Adam - Розваги
I am suppose to start a job and they ask me how much I know about hydraulics. You sir are a life saver! I am still learning at 63
Adam and Paul: Thank you so much for taking the time to do this series. This is what UA-cam is all about! Also Adam, my sincere sympathy for your recent issues with theft. I've gone through it myself and I totally understand the feeling of violation. I hope you recover, and remember that there are far more good souls out there than bad ones. Keep up the absolutely excellent work!
Great tutorial. Paul does a great job of emphasizing the "take away" from the lesson. Thanks Adam for sponsoring this!
Great video, I have been a diesel mechanic for 3 years and have always wanted to learn more about the hydraulic systems used. Very informational, thank you!
Good job. Well done.For you young people out there with an interest, please pay attention to your mathematics lessons. Also don't forget your basic physics. Not only Pascal's law is involved in hydraulics, but Newton's 3 laws of motion also. To become a successful person in life, you must know your basics. Keep studying.
Thanks Adam, for letting Paul give this great presentation, for all of us to share in. Great job guys,
Your training class in hydraulics and your test station is top notch. Great job, and thank you on passing the knowledge of the craft to the young ones. Only thing I might add is about safety. Hydraulic systems can generate a lot of energy. This must be respected. Thank you Adam.
As someone lost, trying to teach themselves using online resources. I really appreciate this video.
How to get out of darkness! Watch a video like this one...what a clear demonstration...real objects with real words....Bravo!
As a farmer I face these issues EVERY day of my life. Seeing this has been really helpful! Thanks again! The biggest problem I have on my antique tractor collection is “confining’ the fluid. They find every possible way to piss, squirt, leak, bloop, drip or spray from one point or the other.. Question: So if my backhoe is pushing 18gpm through two 4” bore and two 2” bore cylinders consistently I’m tapping about 20hp off the top of my 70 year old wheezing gas engine...well, that explains the constant need to fiddle with the rpms! Great stuff! I’m probably going to have to watch this series about 8 times to fully get this. I’ve just begun to rebuild hydraulics and as you might know I have very limited skills in this. I’ve been trained in theoretical quantum physics and that has been my life work. Now I own a farm, machine shop, antique furniture restoration service and cabinet making business and we use a lot of hand tools and chemicals...so this is all new to me!
What a wonderful surprise to see this video this morning. Thanks to both of you.
Don't know how old is this series videos but love it ! Thanks both Paul and Adam.
Adam and Paul,
I can't remember the last time I attended any classes!
Thank you for the refresher!
If memory serves me correctly, I think it was in 76, when I was introduced to hydraulics. Thanks for putting this together guy's!
Looking forward to the following series.
Razor!
i do not care how many times i watch videos like this I need all the information I can get good job fellas.
Many thanks to Paul and you Adam for this training. Very useful knowledge.
Adam-
Awesome series. I understand electrical circuits, and mechanical linkages, but hydraulics are new to me, and I'm looking forward to finally 'getting it'.
Hats off to Paul and you too Adam, for a very easy to understand explanation on Hydraulics.......well worth the time to watch.....PB
Adam, I am liking the Hydraulics training,, watched the first one last night. Thanks for putting the series together,, Harvey
Excellent idea Adam! These kind of videos are the ones that makes UA-cam to have any real purpose beside all the junk that you can see most of the time.
Thank you and Paul for taking the time to share your knowledge!
I would just like to add my 2 cents worth if you don't mind Adam. I do a lot of hydraulics with my job and it may not be the most exciting topic lol, but to watch and learn something new is always good. I would like to offer 2 big thumbs up for all that you do for us out here in UA-cam land. You offer your experience and knowledge free of charge to all of us. So to everyone who gives you a thumbs down, 2 big thumbs down to them from me. I enjoy all the videos you put together as well as the other channels I watch. I know I, as well as the majority of your subscribers, appreciate the amount of effort and your personal time you sacrifice to educate and entertain us.
Thank you very much for all you do and keep up the great work.
Although we have never met, I consider you a friend, I even share some of the humorous parts of your videos with my girlfriend.
So thanks again and have a great weekend.

Adam, really excellent job. The instruction and your video production value is excellent. While speaking to production value, your opening screen combined with your new logo is extremely well done. With how interesting the content is and how professionally it is carried off with many of you "youtubers", I see no reason to watch TV any more.
Hey guys! English is not my first language so it would take some time to google research and translate the right word to describe this video... AWESOME? Yup, that kinda does the job:) hydraulic system buliding is an industry that has a whole bunch of poeple working in it that have no idea what theyre doing. So its difficult to get knowledge from that people. I have never seen someone describe this stuff so down to earth so that even a business person like with no technical background can understand. Guys I dont know if youre religious or not but putting this demonstration and course for free to the public in my eyes should be written down as one of your good deeds :) :) cant wait for the next part!
another thumbs up from an hydraulics ignoramus who is enjoying being enlightened. looking forward to the next instalment.
Great stuff guys, I operated hydraulic cranes and heavy equipment for a good part of my life. Hydraulics makes my life go around !
Great video, thanks. I am looking forward to the rest. I've wanted to learn more about hydraulics but never found the time, this series should be exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks Adam and Paul.
Thanks Adam and Paul, looking forward to next instalment, material was at my level and presented well. Roll on to the K&T repair !
Thanks Adam and Paul, love this series and learn a lot about a topic I have never played with!
Great video Adam, a few years ago I used to work for a hydraulics company but didn't get much into this side of things - very informative - thanks to you and your buddy. Mark from the UK.
Good refresher :) There are lots of hydraulic designs, so don't be surprised when you pull the reservoir cap on a CAT excavator and find that it is under pressure to aid in hydraulic flow, or when you check the pressure of a pump that is designed to regulate the pressure based upon flow demands vs dead head pump pressure.
When I was a child learning about electricity the fluid analogy helped. Current = Flow / Voltage = Pressure. Sure, It doesn't apply to many situations (Transformers) but it was a useful analogy. Really understanding Paul's basic concepts can lend to your ability to troubleshoot many different exotic technologies. Thanks for the physics lesson Paul, Glad you showed the thermal image as a tool to visualizing the loss of energy, whether caused by a restriction or even a sharp change in direction.
Awesome video, you guys are great. I am refreshing myself before I take a NOCTI test for a Mechatronics job and this is spot on with what I remember learning in trade school.
Thanks Adam and Paul this cleared up one thing for me. I always thought that flow = force and pressure = speed so thanks for clearing that up for me can't wait for the rest of the series!
Adam,
What a great video! This is right up my alley -- I love learning new and exciting stuff like this! A super great presentation!
Thanks a bunch!
Have a good one!
Dave
Great video Adam and thanks Paul for instructing. I work almost every day with hydraulic systems, mostly hydrostatic and closed center variable geometry pumps on heavy equipment. It's enough to make me crazy lol. Can't wait to see more videos for you guys!! Thanks.
-Jesse
Brilliant explanation of a hydraulic system. Thanks
I just turned 65 on 11-14-2014 and still like to learn things . Thank You for you time.
nice to have a guest speaker to introduce us to hydraulics. Can't wait to the next what is next. I found this to be very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Excellent instruction video. Will watch all of the series a few times as there is a lot to take in.
Hey Guys, thank you for sharing this video. I am a Fluid power technician in Argentina since 90`s and this video is awesome. Thank you. Hope to see more material from you!!
Definitely informative. When I was in community college, I used a trainer much like this one in my Fluid Power course.
Thank you for such an informative video. Broken down to the most basic fundamentals. Looking forward to the next installments.
Well done!
Nicely done. Such a great video. I am taking an hydraulic class in college and your videos are highly recommended. Now I see why. Thank you for sharing this.
Good idea on creating the series. A good review for us guys that haven't worked on it for awhile, and a great tutorial for newcomers!
Great video I worked in maintenance for 40 years at chemical plant we had some hyd. equipment no one knew a lot about them some were kind of complicated plc controlled wish we had someone like the man on video around most of time we changed parts till we found the right one.
Very informative. I knew nothing about hydraulics and that introduction is just at my level.
Thanks
Hi Adam an Poul !
I love the class there as a prep for my work on my hydraulic press - a project I have been collecting components for over some years - till now I have the tank, the pump and the cylinder and some hoses - so I need some more component before I can start playing around.
I will surely view these 4 videos over and over several times in the future - thx so much for sharing !
Adam and Paul thanks, this was a great refresher for me. looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thanks, Abom79 for this video and series. I never understood hydraulics and always wanted to learn-looks like these videos are exactly what I need. Nicely edited and commented too!
Much appreciated and interesting video! Well done instruction, clearly put. I am off to my tractor and cherry picker to see how the two hydraulic systems I own work. This is a super useful service you are giving us, Adam. Give Paul a pat on the back and tell him his lessons have influence well over the borders of the good ole USofA!
He will be pleased to hear that. He loves to teach this subject, it's kind of like my enthusiasm with machine work and tools.
Abom79 k
This video series came at a great time. I am building a press for blacksmithing. This will be very helpful. Thanks to both of you.
That's cool Steve. Hope some of what Paul shows you will help with your build.
HI Adam,
I have worked with hydraulics for many years. This was a very good presentation and explanation of basic hydraulic components. I can tell your friend, Paul, has taught many classes on this. Great Job! Thanks for sharing with us. No matter what you know, you can always learn more!
Take Care,
Reid
Thanks Reid. yes he has taught this subject for many years, and still enjoys doing it.
are you producer?
Thank you for your video. I hope you finish the others you planned on. You really helped me figure out what was wrong with my Wrecker and its now back in service. Seriously THANK YOU.
This is awesome. Thanks to both of you for sharing this knowledge.
great video. i have already learned a lot of info on hydraulics just from 20 minutes. cant wait for the rest of the set
Adam this series IS SPOT ON! Thanks for doing this. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. How cool is it that one of my favorite machinist is the guy putting the video on? 🤙
Wow! What a great class. Thank you so much!
Eric
What a super introduction to hydraulics, be good to see the rig connected to the K&T knee to see if it can show where the problem is.
Very nice video, Thank you Adam and Paul for doing these video's. I remember learning some stuff a long time ago, excellent refresher.
Matt C
Excellent video, thanks. Waiting for session 3.
Adam, very, very cool...! I have several hydraulic systems, but have no real basics on how they work (self-taught in pretty-much everything). This is really useful information.... Thanks to you and Paul for this...... Looking forward to the other sessions.... Cheers, Daniel.
Great video tutorial and lovely clear lecture. Love it.
This was a very helpful video in understanding the basics of how a hydraulic system works. Nice job!
Great vid there Adam and Paul
Better get Paul on the K&T
I always think things out in my core skill electrical for me pressure is volts and amps flow, you need volts to get the amps flowing , well it works for me as it dose for pneumatics and fluidics
Looking forward to the rest of the series
Stuart
Feels like I went back to school and that is nice you can never learn too much !
Useful Learning, finally have a clear picture of how it works.
GREAT STUFF Adam. Better than I was shown in 101 collage hyd. 30 years ago lol.
The rotary is a great use for tapping heads on GUNDRILL machines for water lines ect.
As it is a positive drive and instant STOP/ Reverse .for driving GOOD size taps ie 1 inch NPT.
It's a real delight to watch UA-cam videos on engineering by people who actually know what they are talking about. Adam, I really like your steady and experienced approach, and Paul seems to be a similar character, equally experienced in his craft.
Keep up the GREAT videos and I look forward to the next in the Hydraulics series.
PS - I am a sound engineer by trade and although your video work is excellent I am afraid the same is not true for your audio. I have noticed you now have a small shotgun (Rhode), which is better than the built-in GoPro mic, but you really need a LAVALIER microphone clipped to your t-shirt. You would then need a radio-mic transmitter/receiver to give you the ability to walk around the shop unimpeded. This would allow us to hear you WHEREVER you are in and around the shop....without all the room sound. Look at newsreaders and people on TV chat-shows...they all are wearing LAVs.
If you need any more advice/help on the audio front then let me know.

very informative,looking forward to next series.Thanks Adam
Hey Adam and Paul, very interesting session and great idea. I really like the subject. Thanks for pushing your channel in new paths.
Great video Adam!! Your man Paul is quite a natural teacher; very nice manner of presentation. We had a fluid power seminar at a local industrial supplier (Eastern Bearings) and his presentation style was similar; very mellow and enjoyable. Keep 'em coming!! Thanks, Sean.
That's something Paul has spent many year doing is training. He's a good teacher, and fun to listen to.
Really hoping for the next videos, This is a very educational series and I hope you get time to put up more of these since this is the only series I've found that explains the hydraulic system and the troubleshooting methods in an understandable manner!
Also on that note it would be great if you went over the use of restrictors in a system (to slow down the movement of lift arms on the way down?)
Thanks,
Love the channel
Jamie
Great stuff Adam. Nice refresher as well as actually learning a few extras too. Thanks.
Thanks, already learned more from the first video than I did in the useless class I took at the local community college.
Very nice training video. Quite helpful, thanks!
That was awesome Adam I have always been curious about hydraulic systems. Also a big thanks to your buddy Paul. Can't wait for the next session.
Adam and Phil....EXCELLENT series. I've never understood hydraulics, and this series is very informative. Thanks for all the effort it takes to put it together.
It's Adam and Paul. I (Phil) am just a bystander. But I may have some goodies to contribute. BTW Don't use Teflon tape. It'll split the case of a Hydraulic pump if a shred gets into it. Use TFE paste. It'll dissolve in the oil if you use too much...
Phil Grindle Is taper threads used for hydraulics there? (why else use tape/sealant) I think all the hydraulic I see here use parallel threads and dowty washers or a build in seal
Lasse Langwadt Christensen In some cases of low-pressure applications it can be. In the case I mentioned it was used for a field repair by a not-too-skilled "tech". When I got the hydraulic pump back (claimed to be a "factory defect") I found the case split and what was determined to be a piece of Teflon tape wedged between the gears. We didn't pay for it.
Thanks Herb.
We have talked about the use of pipe thread tape vs thread sealant at work. Tape should not be used in a fluid system. Loctite makes some good products to seal pipe threads.
Some applications you do see tapered pipe fittings, and in others are o-ring sealed.
Great video. Looking forward to the next session.
Great video Adam , I work on my own hydraulic's on my farm equipment , these video's are perfect and will help me understand the systems and be better able to diagnosis and repair those systems . Plus , without causing further damage to the equipment or ME !!! LOL thank you , Bob k
Guys , this is great. Cant get it better. Thanks.
Adam and Paul
This will be an excellant series. Demonstration gear is invaluable and does great at showing the theory. I do this in my electrical classes. Keep it up people need this.
Dan Bentler
Thanks Dan. We more more things in store for the videos. Paul is very excited to be a part of these.
very nice equipment and very educational
thanks for the series.
Excellent! More, please.
Thanks Adam and Paul, this is a very interesting subject and will come in very handy. Thanks again.
Very easy to understand, great first vid
very good Adam thank you
Joe
I like very much your explanation.
Good video and instructional well done you two keep them coming, most enjoyable.
Thanks
Very beneficial! Thanks! Just got an old loader to work on and have simple hydraulics for the bucket and wanted to get a beginner's primer on flow and pressure. Thanks again. I just subscribed.
Very interesting! I'm looking forward for the rest.
ADAM!!! get 3 and 4 up asap... great tips and advice !!
Very informative QDM, I've been around hydraulics a lot in my life, but I've never heard it explained like that, that gentleman was spot on with his information, and he went to great lengths to show us how this works with all the demonstration's he did. Also with his hydro table, he did a good job of making that one. Great video.
See ya
Mark
Thank you Mark.
Value information, mate. Thanks.
great vid! to the point and easy to understand. thanks!
Great tutorial video very informative . Thanks for sharing
Awesome, looking forward to the series!
Nice job! Can't wait for the next video! Thanks
Great video. Really looking forward to the next installment.
That looks like a serious piece of kit Adam
Awsome !!! Already Watched 2 Times. THANK YOU !!!!
Really like the series Adam. I have some hydraulic work on a snowblower that I need to start on soon and this is going to help.
