Fluid Power Technology: Introduction of a new course for students

摘要

Fluid power is widely used in industries where requirements exist for high force/torque along with precise position and speed control, stall load conditions, sudden change in direction, small system volume (overall size and weight) and intermediate stopping positions, less heating requirement etc. Fluid Power & Tribology Section (FPTS) of the Refuelling Technology Division is involved in development of various types of hydraulic valves and various actuators for oil as well as water hydraulic applications, design and development of various types of hydraulic systems, selection, testing and repair of the hydraulic components, static and dynamic analysis of the hydraulic control systems etc. FPTS has attained expertise in the development of special hydraulic components like rotary actuators, friction-less hydraulic actuator and special purpose valves etc. FPTS is also using servo valves, proportional valves, integrated circuit valves, accumulators etc. FPTS is regularly updating knowledge on the latest trends and developments in fluid powersystems and valve technology i.e. proportional, servo valves and integrated hydraulic circuits etc.
