Machinery
In this section, you can find machinery examples in multiple Simscape Fluids domains.
Featured Examples
Counterbalance Valve with Boom Arm
Model, parameterize, test, and compare design cases for a counterbalance valve in a boom arm mechanism. A counterbalance valve allows an upstream flow from the back port to the load port through the check valve stage during cylinder rod extension, and it allows a downstream flow from the load port to the back port through the relief valve stage during cylinder rod retraction in the boom arm mechanism. Counterbalance valves help with the load holding, load actuation, speed control, and safety by controlling the piston motion of the booming cylinder. When you run the model, it generates a plot of the booming cylinder position and the forces at the A side and B side of the cylinder piston.
Crane Boom Arm Test Bench
Combine hydraulics modeling in Simscape™ Fluids™ with six-degree-of-freedom motion and animation in Simscape Multibody™. This example also shows how to parameterize, test, and compare design cases for a counterbalance valve in a crane boom arm test bench. A counterbalance valve allows an upstream flow from the back port to the load port through the check valve stage during cylinder rod extension, and it allows a downstream flow from the load port to the back port through the relief valve stage during cylinder rod retraction in the boom arm mechanism. A counterbalance valve help with the load holding, load actuation, speed control, and safety by controlling the piston motion of the boom cylinder.
Drill-Ream Actuator
An actuator that drives a machine tool working unit performing a sequence of three technological operations: coarse drilling, fine drilling, and reaming. The actuator speed is controlled by one of three pressure-compensated flow control valves metering out return flow from the cylinder. The selection of an appropriate flow control is performed by directional valves that are activated by a control unit.

Warning: This example uses the hydraulic domain, which will be removed in a future release. Find an equivalent example model that uses the isothermal liquid domain here: Drill-Ream Actuator. To convert models to the isothermal liquid domain, use the hydraulicToIsothermalLiquid tool.
Front-Loader Actuation System
A simplified version of an actuation system consisting of the lift and tilt cylinders. Each cylinder is controlled by an open center, 6-way, 3-position directional valve. The valves are connected in series through their unloading branch such that the system pump is unloaded when both command levers are in neutral position. If either tilt or lift command is applied, the unloading path is closed.

Injection Molding Actuation System
An injection molding actuation system. The model contains a set of cartridge valves that control pumps, motors, and cylinders to execute the steps of an injection molding process.
Pressure Reducing Valve in Punching Operation
Models a hydraulic system with a direct operated, pressure reducing valve. This system helps to limit and maintain pressure in a hydraulic punching machine. Pressure reducing valves are common in hydraulic pressing, drilling, and stamping applications.
Tractor Transmission Energy Flow Chart
Model, parameterize, and test a tractor with a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (CVT). When you run one of the plot functions, you can view plots of the tractor velocity, engine speed, transmission speed, and pump and motor energy computations.
