🔍 Key Concepts

• Variable-displacement (tilting box) axial piston pump vs fixed-displacement hydraulic motor • How system flow and system locking/holding work when components are put at neutral or zero stroke • What happens to hydraulic lock and load holding if BOTH the pump and motor could go to zero displacement

💭 Think About

• Think about what makes the hydraulic system able to hold a load stationary when the pump is put at neutral — what role does the motor’s fixed displacement play? • If the motor also had a tilting box and could go to zero stroke, what would happen to the trapped oil and the ability to resist movement at the load? • Which option talks about a real hydraulic-system consequence, rather than an obviously unrealistic limitation or design oversight?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice discusses hydraulic lock / neutral stroke / trapped fluid behavior in the system. • Eliminate any answers that claim something is “never” possible without giving a sound hydraulic or mechanical reason. • Check which statement reflects a practical design reason based on system operation, not on arbitrary or obviously false limits (like horsepower or inventors ‘never thinking of it’).
