Introduction to Fluid Power Systems

• Fluid Power :
Technology which deals with the generation,
control and transmission of power using
pressurized fluids
• Fluid itself can be divided by
1. Air or Gas
2. Liquid such as water, mineral - based petroleum
oils and synthetic oils
The Difference Between Gas and Liquid
 Fluid Systems in Our Society :
• Fluid Transport Systems
Delivery of fluid from one place to another to
accomplish some useful purpose such as pumping
station and pneumatic conveying
• Fluid Power Systems
1. Pneumatic Systems using gas or air as working fluid
or bearing media
2. Hydraulic Systems using hydraulic fluids like
petroleum oils as bearing media (working fluid)
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Pumping Station
 Components of Hydraulic Systems
• Tank or Reservoir to contain oil
• Pump converts mechanical power into hydraulic
power
• Electric Motor to drive pump
• Valve to control oil direction, pressure and flow rate
or capacity
• Actuator to convert hydraulic power to mechanical
power like hydraulic motor and cylinder
• Piping System carrying oil from one component to
another

• Air Receiver to contain pressurized air
• Compressor to compress air
• Electric Motor or other Prime Mover to drive
compressor
• Valve to control air direction, pressure and
flow rate or capacity
• Actuator to convert gas or air power to
mechanical power like pneumatic motor and

APPLICATIONS OF FLUID POWER SYSTEMS
• Mobile : Fluid power is used to transport, excavate, lift
materials and control or power mobile equipment such as
backhoes, tractors, graders etc
• Industrials : Provide power transmission and motion
control for machines of industry such as metalworking
equipment, controllers, material handling and assembly
equipment
• Aerospace : Fluid power is used for commercial and
military aircraft, spacecraft and related support equipment
such as landing gear system, brakes, flight controls and
cargo loading equipment
• Health : Dentist equipment, bed for patients, radiology
equipment etc

The Advantages of Fluid Power Systems
• Multiplication and variation of forces
• Easy and accurate control
• Multi – function control
• Compact
• Low speed torque
• Constant force or torque
• Simplicity and safety
• Established standards and engineering
(our Lab. uses ISO and ANSI standards)
Disadvantages of Fluid Power Systems
• Higher initial investment
• Transferring energy is slower when
compared to electrical system
• When hydraulic systems leak, it can
pollute the environments
• More dangerous than other systems due
to high pressure fluids involved i.e. 15000
psi of working pressure
Fluid Power Systems Personnel in Industry
• Fluid power mechanics
Responsible for repair and maintenance of fluid
power equipment
• Fluid power technicians
These people assist engineers in designing, testing,
troubleshooting and maintaining fluid power
systems
• Fluid power engineers
People who perform advanced design,
development and testing of fluid power equipment
