MASTERING THE BASICS: AN

IiNTRODUCTION TO FLUID
POWER FUNDAMENTALS
 INTRODUCTION
This presentation will cover the
fluid power and its
basics of
fundamental principles.We will
explore the differences between
hydraulics pneumatics
and ,and
how they are used in various
industries.Join us on this journey to
mastering the basics of fluid power.
 W HAT IS FLUID POW ER?

Fluid power is the use of liquids

orgases to transmit power.It
involves the use ofpumps ,
motors ,and cylinders to create
motion.By using fluid power,we
can create precise and powerful
movements in machines and
equipment.
 FLUID POWER COMPONENTS

Fluid power systems consist of

several components,including
pumps motors
, valves
, ,and
cylinders .Each component plays a
crucial role in the system's
operation.
Understanding how each
component works is essential to
mastering fluid power
fundamentals.
HYDRAULICS VS PNEUMATICS

Hydraulics useliquids such as oil

or water to transmit power,while
pneumatics use gases such as air
or nitrogen.
Hydraulics are more powerful and
precise,while pneumatics are
cleaner and easier to maintain.
Each system has its own
advantages and disadvantages.
 Pum ps

P umps are used to create pressure in

a fluid power system.They can be
positive displacement or
either
dynamic .
P ositive displacement pumps
create a fixed amount of flow,while
dynamic pumps create flow through
the use of centrifugal force.
 MOTORS

M otors are used to convert fluid

power intomechanical power .
hydraulic or
They can be either
pneumatic .
Hydraulic motors use hydraulic
fluid to create rotational motion,
while pneumatic motors use
compressed air.
 VALVES
Valves are used to control the flow
and pressure of fluid power systems.
They can be eitherdirectional or
pressure control valves.Directional
valves control the direction of fluid
flow,while pressure control valves
maintain a constant pressure in the
system.
 CYLINDERS
Cylinders are used to create linear
motion in fluid power systems.
single-acting or
They can be either
double- acting .Single-acting
cylinders use fluid power to move
in one direction,while double-
acting cylinders use fluid power to
move in both directions.
 Applications of Fluid Power

Fluid power is used in a wide variety

of industries,including
construction manufacturing
, , and
transportation .It is used to power
heavy machinery, control robotic
arms,and even operate aircraft
landing gear.The possibilities are
endless!
 CONCLUSION
Fluid power is a fascinating and essential aspect of
modern technology. By mastering the basics of fluid power,
you can gain a deeper understanding of how machines and
equipment work. We hope this presentation has provided
you with valuable insights into the world of fluid power.
