Hydraulics Pump, Power Equation
The motor power required to drive a pump is determined by the pump capacity and working pressure. From expression 1.6: In Figure 2.3, a pump forces fluid along a pipe of area A against a pressure P, moving fluid a … Continue reading
Definition of terms, Pressure
Pressure occurs in a fluid when it is subjected to a force. In Figure 1.4 a force F is applied to an enclosed fluid via a piston of area A. This results in a pressure P in the fluid. Obviously … Continue reading
Definition of terms, Mass and force
Pneumatic and hydraulic systems generally rely on pressure in a fluid. Before we can discuss definitions of pressure, though, we must first be clear what is meant by everyday terms such as weight, mass and force. We all are used … Continue reading
Hydraulics Pneumatics Principles, Industrial prime movers
Most industrial processes require objects or substances to be moved from one location to another, or a force to be applied to hold, shape or compress a product. Such activities are performed by Prime Movers; the workhorses of manufacturing industries. … Continue reading
