  • What Is Hydraulic and Pneumatic System
    Module-01 : INTRODUCTION TO HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS Lecture-01 : What is Hydraulic and Pneumatic System: Fluid power systems use fluids to transmit power and motion. Both liquids and gases are called fluids. Hence both these types of fluids are used in fluid power technology. Under liquids mostly mineral oil with suitable additives are used instead of plain water - (which, however, is used also in some cases) and under gases usually atmospheric air is used after cleaning it suitably. However, synthetic fluids with additives and other gasses are also used for specific purposes, such as fire resistance or the fluid itself is the product- milk as an example. That is the state of art behind these two modern technologies of industrial oil-hydraulics and pneumatics. Fluid power technology actually has a long history behind it. From early days of civilization mankind could feel the existence of power in the water currents of rivers and streams, in ocean waves and in the flowing breeze and in the turbulent storms. Early men could even harness some of these natural sources of energy. Wind energy, for example, was utilized in sailing boats and water current to drive water wheels. Hydroelectric power generation still uses the same idea, of course now-a- days in a much more efficient way. Fluid power technology in its earliest forms mostly took advantage of the motion of fluids or scientifically speaking of its kinetic energy. But the present day oil hydraulics mostly depends on the pressure-energy of the fluids rather than its velocity and in some cases it is even called as hydrostatic transmission of power.

The hydraulic bending press consists of hydraulic circuit, punch, die and PLC control unit. Automation studio and SimHydraulic in Matlab/Simulink library are used to model the hydraulic circuit. Using PLC program, the bending operation is controlled. The press had to be capable of withstanding 2 tons of force. The punch and dies are designed to be rigidly fixed and easily removable, changeable to any kind of forming operation with decreasing of spring back effect of the sheet metal.

  • Lecture 1 INTRODUCTION to HYDRAULICS and PNEUMATICS
    Lecture 1 INTRODUCTION TO HYDRAULICS AND PNEUMATICS Learning Objectives Upon completion of this chapter, the student should be able to: Explain the meaning of fluid power. List the various applications of fluid power. Differentiate between fluid power and transport systems. List the advantages and disadvantages of fluid power. Explain the industrial applications of fluid power. List the basic components of the fluid power. List the basic components of the pneumatic systems. Differentiate between electrical, pneumatic and fluid power systems. Appreciate the future of fluid power in India. 1.1 Introduction In the industry we use three methods for transmitting power from one point to another. Mechanical transmission is through shafts, gears, chains, belts, etc. Electrical transmission is through wires, transformers, etc. Fluid power is through liquids or gas in a confined space. In this chapter, we shall discuss a structure of hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems. We will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages and compare hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and mechanical systems. 1.2 Fluid Power and Its Scope Fluid power is the technology that deals with the generation, control and transmission of forces and movement of mechanical element or system with the use of pressurized fluids in a confined system. Both liquids and gases are considered fluids. Fluid power system includes a hydraulic system (hydra meaning water in Greek) and a pneumatic system (pneuma meaning air in Greek). Oil hydraulic employs pressurized liquid petroleum oils and synthetic oils, and pneumatic employs compressed air that is released to the atmosphere after performing the work. Perhaps it would be in order that we clarify our thinking on one point.

Most people do not know that: • Fluid power (hydraulics and pneumatics) is a workhorse across the U.S. economy, the technology of choice for dozens of industries and hundreds of applications. • In 2018, the manufacture of fluid power components was a $23.5 billion industry in the United States. It was also competitive worldwide, with 2018 exports valued at $6.5 billion. Fluid power systems transmit more power • It is estimated that 862 companies in the United States employ more than 67,149 people in the manufacture of fluid power components, representing an annual payroll of more than $4.3 billion. in a smaller space than other forms of power • Fluid power has a major downstream economic impact. Ten key industries that depend on fluid power include an estimated 23,200 companies in the United States, employing more than 778,056 people for an annual transmission, making fluid power payroll of more than $49.5 billion. • Fluid power and the industries it serves depend on a highly educated workforce, leading to investment in new the technology of choice across dozens fluid power education and training resources. More two-year and four-year colleges are teaching fluid power. of industries and hundreds of applications. • Fluid power systems consume a major portion of our nation’s energy.

  • Modeling of a Hydraulic Braking System
    Modeling of a Hydraulic Braking System CHRISTOPHER LUNDIN Master’s Degree Project Stockholm, Sweden 2015 IR-EE-SB 2015:000 Abstract The objective of this thesis is to derive an analytical model representing a re- duced form of a mine hoist hydraulic braking system. Based primarily on fluid mechanical and mechanical physical modeling, along with a number of simplifying assumptions, the analytical model will be derived and expressed in the form of a system of differential equations including a set of static functions. The obtained model will be suitable for basic simulation and analysis of system dynamics, with the aim to capture the fundamentals regarding feedback control of the brake system pressure. The thesis will mainly cover hydraulic servo valve and brake caliper modeling including static modeling of brake lining stress-strain and disc spring deflection- force characteristics. Nonlinearities such as servo valve hysteresis, saturation, effects of under- or overlapping spool geometry, flow forces, velocity limitations and brake caliper frictional forces have intentionally been excluded in order not to make the model overly complex. The hydraulic braking system will be described in detail and basic theory that is needed regarding fluid properties and fluid mechanics will also be covered so as to facilitate the reader in his understanding of the material presented in this work. Overall, the scope of this thesis is broad and more work remains in order to complement the model of the system both qualitatively and quantitatively. Although not complete in its simplified form and with known nonlinearities aside, the validity of the model in the lower frequency domain is confirmed by results given in form of measurements and dynamic simulation.
