Fluid Power
Hydraulic systems utilize liquids, usually oil or water, to transmit power. These systems involve the use of pumps to pressurize the fluid, which is then transferred through hoses or pipes to cylinders or motors. The pressurized fluid exerts force on pistons or other components, allowing them to move and perform work. Hydraulic systems are commonly found in heavy machinery, such as construction equipment, aircraft, and industrial machinery.
Both hydraulic and pneumatic systems offer advantages such as high power density, fast response times, and precise control over motion. They are widely used across industries for tasks ranging from lifting heavy loads to controlling intricate machinery movements. Additionally, fluid power systems are known for their durability, reliability, and ease of maintenance, making them indispensable in many engineering applications.
Industries
Fluid Power
When it comes to the need for holding tight tolerances, components for the fluid power industry are at the top of the list. Fit and seal are critical features for components used in high performance fluid power applications.
Highly stable Okuma turning machines and horizontal machining centers are optimized to produce an accurate scroll pattern on valve faces and reduce dimensional variation for improved sealing ability.
