FLUID POWER:
Fluid power Technology is a mean to convert , transmit and control the
fluid energy to perform useful work.
Fluid may be either liquid or gas.
Hydraulic system - Pressurised liquid
Pneumatic system - Compressed Air
PASCALS LAW
Pressure generated at any point in a confined liquid acts equally in all
directions.
PUMPS
It is a device which convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy.
Principle:
To create partial vaccum at inlet which permits atmospherics pressure to
force the fluid through the inlet line and into the pump.
Types of Pump:
1. Hydrodynamic or Non Positive displacement pumps
2. Hydrostatic or Positive displacement pumps
2. Vane Pumps
a. Unbalanced vane pumps
b. Balanced vane pumps
3.Piston Pumps
a. Axial Design
b. Radial Design

PUMPS
CONTROL VALVES
Pressure control valves (PCV)
To control the liquid pressure.
CONTROL VALVES
Flow Control Valves (FCV)
To control the liquid flow rate.
CONTROL VALVES
Direction Control Valve (DCV)
To control the direction of flow of liquid.
ACTUATORS
It is used to sift the DCV into different positions.
HYDRAULIC MOTOR
It is used where rotary motion is desire.
HYDRAULIC CYLINDER
It is used where linear motion is desire.
