What are the key components of a Log Splitter? Engine - Most log splitters use a 4 cylinder engine to power the hydraulic pump. Motor - Some log splitter use an electric motor to drive the hydraulic pump. Electric motors are quieter and produce less emissions, but are also less powerful. Pump - Log splitters use hydraulic pumps to create hydraulic pressure to actuate the cylinder. Hydraulic Tank - the hydraulic fluid must be stored onboard. Typical Log splitters hold approximately 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid. The larger the cylinder diameter and stroke, the more fluid that must be available pump through the system. Valve - the hydraulic valve or typically a spool valve directs the flow of the hydraulic fluid from the pump in order to control the extension or retraction of the cylinder. Hydraulic Fluid - As fluids are not able to be compressed, they are a good fluid to be used as a pressure fluid. Most log splitters utilize an oil filter to keep the hydraulic fluid clean. Hydraulic Hoses - The hydraulic fluid is transferred between the various components of the hydraulic system through hydraulic hoses. Cylinder - The hydraulic cylinder uses the differential pressure created by the pump to create linear motion to move the log splitting wedge toward and away from the log. Wedge - Log splitters use either use a two sided wedge or a four sided wedge. The wedge is a simple mechanical device that splits the wood as it is pushed into the log. Frame - The log splitter frame supports the engine, pump, and of course the logs that need to split. Tongue - Larger log splitters are able to be towed behind vehicles using a hitch. Spark Arrestor Muffler - Spark arrestor mufflers prevent the emission of flammable debris from the generator muffler. Wheels - Log Splitter wheels are used to support the log splitter and enable the log splitters to be moved or towed.
