Non-compressible fluids (usually oil) used to transmit power.
Operate using Pascal’s Law – pressure applied at one point is transmitted equally throughout the fluid.
Used for precise control and high force applications.
eumatic Fluids:Use compressed air or gas to transfer energy.
Compressible, so less precise than hydraulics.
Work on the principle of air pressure and flow – air expands to create motion.
Common in fast, light-duty operations.
Definition: A hydraulic system is a power transmission system that uses pressurized liquid (usually oil) to transmit force and motion.
Principle: It works on Pascal’s Law, which states that pressure applied at one point of an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
Main Components:
Hydraulic pump (converts mechanical power into fluid power)
Valves (control pressure, flow, and direction)
Actuators (cylinders or motors that convert fluid power into mechanical motion)
Hydraulic fluid (medium for power transmission and lubrication)
Applications: Heavy machinery (excavators, presses), automotive brakes, aircraft systems.
Advantages: High force output, precise control, smooth operation.
Definition: A pneumatic system is a power transmission system that uses compressed air or gas to transmit and control energy.
Principle: It works on the compression and expansion of air; force is generated by pressurized air acting on a piston or actuator.
Main Components:
Compressor (supplies compressed air)
Valves (control air pressure, flow, and direction)
Actuators (pneumatic cylinders, air motors)
Air treatment units (filters, regulators, lubricators)
Applications: Automation in industries, packaging machines, air brakes, dental tools.
Advantages: Clean, lightweight, safe in hazardous environments, simple design.
