pneumatic fluid power
1Fluid power — is the technology of exploiting the properties of fluids to generate, control, and transmit power as a result of the pressurization of fluids.As the term fluid refers either to gases or to liquids, fluid power is also subdivided into the… …
2Pneumatic cylinder — Pneumatic cylinders (sometimes known as air cylinders) are mechanical devices which produce force, often in combination with movement, and are powered by compressed gas (typically air). To perform their function, pneumatic cylinders impart a… …
3pneumatic device — Any of various tools and instruments that generate and use compressed air. Examples include rock drills, pavement breakers, riveters, forging presses, paint sprayers, blast cleaners, and atomizers. Compressed air power is flexible, economical,… …
4Pneumatic motor — The Victor Tatin airplane of 1879 used a compressed air engine for propulsion. Original craft, at Musée de l Air et de l Espace …
5Pneumatic artificial muscles — Air muscle contracting and extending. Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are contractile or extensional devices operated by pressurized air filling a pneumatic bladder. In a vague approximation of human muscles, PAMs are usually grouped in pairs …
6pneumatic system — A power system in aircraft that uses compressed air or another gas as the operating fluid. Some systems that are operated or powered by a pneumatic system are the landing gears or flaps in an emergency, the normal and/or emergency brakes, and the …
7power pump — i. An electrically driven pump (EDP) used to move fluid to produce hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. ii. A hydraulic pump driven by the aircraft engine or by an electric motor …
8Atmospheric pressure — Air pressure redirects here. For the pressure of air in other systems, see pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth s atmosphere. In most… …
9Pascal (pressure) — The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, stress, Young s modulus and tensile strength. It is a measure of perpendicular force per unit area i.e. equivalent to one newton per square meter or one joule per cubic metre. In… …
10Pascal (unit) — pascal A pressure gauge reading in psi (red scale) and kPa (black scale) Unit information Unit system: SI derived unit Unit o …
