    Fluid Power I
    Fluid

    power is the technology that deals


    with the generation, control, and
    transmission of power, using pressurized
    fluids.
    It is Muscle of the industry.

    History of Fluid Power

    1650: Fluid power technology starts with discovery of


    Pascals Law;

    1750: Bernoulli developed his law of conservation of energy


    for a fluid flowing in a pipeline;

    1850: above
    applications;

    1926: US developed the first unitized, packaged hydraulic


    system consisting of a pump, controls, and actuator;

    Modern Era: fluid power is used extensively in practically


    every branch of industry.

    Applications of Fluid Power

    Fluid power derives high-wire overhead


    team (sky-tram drive is pump (runs by 8 cylinder gasoline engine) supplied
    pressurized fluid to 4 hydraulic motors.)

    Fluid power is applied to harvesting


    soybeans (Hydraulic Cylinders)
    Fluid power is the muscle in industrial lift
    trucks (Tilt cylinder and hoist cylinder)
    Fluid power derives excavators(4 Hydraulic Cylinders)
    Hydraulic power robot to rescue humans
    Hydraulic control the pitch and yaw of wind
    turbines(Hydraulic pitch and yaw systems)

    Components of a Fluid Power


    System, Hydraulic System
    1.

    A tank to hold the hydraulic oil

    2.

    A pump to force the oil through the system

    3.

    An electric motor or other power source to drive the pump

    4.

    Valves to control oil direction, pressure and flow rate

    5.

    Actuators to convert the pressure of oil into mechanical


    forces or torques to do useful work. Actuator can either be
    cylinders to provide linear motion (Fig 1-15), or motor
    (hydraulic) to provide rotary motion (Fig 1-16)

    6.

    Piping, which carries the oil from one location to another
