Hydraulic Ram
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9947
The hydraulic ram apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9947) demonstrates how a hydraulic ram uses the water hammer effect to lift part of a flow to a higher level without an external power source. A clear acrylic pump body with stainless steel pulse and non-return valves is fed from an adjustable header tank supplied by a hydraulics bench. It is supplied by JaincoLab for hydraulic machines practicals in engineering colleges and polytechnics.
Specifications
The hydraulic ram has a clear acrylic pump body with stainless steel pulse and non-return valves, an air vessel above the valve chamber, an adjustable acrylic header tank with inlet and outlet hoses, weights for loading the pulse valve and an outlet hose with a variable head arrangement.

Experiments on the hydraulic ram apparatus
The hydraulic ram apparatus lets students run the ram at different supply and delivery heads and pulse valve loads, measure the flow delivered and wasted, and calculate the efficiency of the ram under each set of conditions.
- Demonstrating the operating cycle of a hydraulic ram
- Effect of pulse valve loading on operating characteristics
- Delivery flow at different supply and delivery heads
- Calculating ram efficiency
- Hydraulic machines practicals for civil and mechanical engineering and diploma students
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers the acrylic pump body with valves and air vessel, the adjustable header tank with hoses, the pulse valve weights, the outlet hose with variable head arrangement and the fast release bench fitting. A hydraulics bench is not included in the product data. Accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
MOQ, lead time and packing for the hydraulic ram are confirmed on each quotation for the quantity and delivery destination. Units for an existing hydraulics bench and complete sets for new laboratories are supplied, with export to Africa, the Middle East and South and South-East Asia.
Frequently asked questions
What drives the hydraulic ram?
The flow from the header tank; the ram uses the pressure rise when the pulse valve closes to lift part of the water to a higher level.
Can the operating characteristics be changed?
Yes. Weights supplied with the unit load the pulse valve to change its closing pressure, and the header tank and outlet head are adjustable.
Is a hydraulics bench required?
Yes. The header tank is fed by a hydraulics bench through a fast release fitting; the bench is quoted separately if needed.
