Question 1

A solenoid-operated directional control valve fails to shift when energized. The FIRST thing to check is:

Accepted Answer

Whether voltage is reaching the solenoid coil

Answer

Verifying electrical supply to the solenoid coil is the first diagnostic step — no voltage means no magnetic force to shift the valve spool.

Question 2

Cavitation in a hydraulic pump is characterized by:

Accepted Answer

Noisy operation and loss of pump efficiency

Answer

Cavitation forms vapor bubbles that collapse violently inside the pump, causing noise, vibration, erosion, and reduced output.

Question 3

In a pneumatic FRL unit, what does the 'R' stand for?

Accepted Answer

Regulator

Answer

FRL stands for Filter-Regulator-Lubricator; the Regulator sets downstream air pressure to the desired working level.

Question 4

Pascal's Law states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is:

Accepted Answer

Transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid

Answer

Pascal's Law is the foundation of hydraulics: pressure applied at any point in a confined fluid transmits undiminished in all directions.

Question 5

Which hydraulic pump type is most commonly used in industrial machinery due to its consistent flow and high efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Piston pump

Answer

Piston pumps (axial or radial) deliver high efficiency, variable displacement capability, and consistent flow at high pressures, making them ideal for industrial use.
