How Fluid Power Applies to both Hydraulic and Pneumatic Automation Technology
Blog | March 31st, 2016Fluid mechanics puts deformable states of matter to work by using liquids and gases to store energy and efficiently transmit that energy throughout a mechanical system as fluid power. Water, for example, is solid when cold, a liquid when melted, and it takes to the air in a gaseous form when heated, thus qualifying the […]
Functions of Control Valves in Hydraulic Systems
Blog | March 15th, 2016In order to manipulate unwieldy mechanical assemblies, we employ hydraulic systems, a hefty amount of fluid-dominated engineering wizardry. The mechanical assets are moved by pistons and the fluids that power these parts are regulated by special devices that modulate pressure and/or flow rate. Control valves in hydraulic systems achieve this goal by leveraging a specific […]
