Hydraulics Basic insight and Why We Use it!

Fluid Power: What exactly is it and why do we use it?

The term fluid power involves Hydraulics (Fluid under pressure) and Pneumatics (Air or Gas under pressure).

Let's focus on Hydraulics first because it is a great option to get so much power in a much smaller holder than electro-mechanical means. Which is why it has become so popular in the industrial marketplace. For example to drive a large engine requiring a lot of torque using an electric motor, the motor would have to be very large which is prohibited, so the smaller electric motor is linked to a gearbox to increase the torque. Doing the same with hydraulics only requires a small pump and motor and addition the pressure to increase the torque.

Some main components of a hydraulic drive holder are the following: Hydraulic Power unit, consisting of a reservoir, suction filter, pump and electric motor, relive valve to control pressure and directional control valve to direct the flow to and from the driving force either it be a hydraulic motor or a hydraulic cylinder.

There are other peripheral components that make this up but the ones listed above will always be needed to make a perfect system. I must point out that the main problem with most end users of any engine powered by hydraulics, is that they never reconsider the preliminary poor establish and lack of diagnostics to troubleshoot as the tool malfunctions. This is the main imagine I am giving you this information.

This articla focuses on the very basics to help elaborate why hydraulics is used so much in the industrial marketplace.I will furnish more articles to elaborate how it works in detail.
