WHAT IS FLUID POWER?

Fluid power is the controlled transmission of energy by oil or air - hydraulics or pneumatics. There are several ways to transmit power or control movement:

Mechanical - Clutches, gears, levers, etc.
Electrical - Motors, switchgear, generators, etc.
Hydraulic - Valves, pumps, motors, cylinders, etc.
Pneumatic - Valves, compressors, etc.

Fluid power - oil hydraulics and pneumatics - provides the energy required to control a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment. Hydraulic systems operate with pressurised liquids, pneumatics with compressed air.

Almost anything that requires movement involves fluid power. Applications range from simple automation to highly specialised computer controlled systems. By combining a variety of components with electronics, economical and technically sound solutions to problems of all kinds can be produced.

A typical fluid power system may include the following components:

- a pump, or air compressor to convert mechanical power to fluid power
- a cylinder, or motor, to convert fluid power to linear, or rotary mechanical power
- a valve to control the direction and amount of flow
- filters and regulators to condition the fluid
- hose, tube and couplings to conduct the fluid
- seals to contain the fluid
- accumulators and reservoirs to store the fluid
- instruments such as pressure switches, flow meters, transducers to monitor the performance of the fluid power system.
