In this clause I want to discuss the different actuators that are used in both hydraulics and pneumatics.

Linear actuators, ar most common such as hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The reward of hydraulic cylinders over pneumatic cylinders is that you get so much more power due to higher pressures. While pneumatic linear actuators (cylinders) give very inexpensive and functionality in certain industrial application that do not require high forces such as the food industry, pharmaceutic industry and a lot of others. Remember Pneumatic is limited to approximately 120 psi. and this times the area equals the Read the rest of this entry »

Hydraulic wood splitters provide an easy and relatively safe alternative to chopping firewood with an axe or using a dangerous screw-type wood splitter. While they ar not necessarily as fast or powerful as screw-types, they ar generally far safer. They ar also sometimes importantly cheaper, though obviously far more expensive than the humble axe.

Hydraulic wood splitters operate on a scientific law known as Pascal’s Principle. The science behind this is fairly complex, but it is the exact same technology that drives hydraulic jacks. One interesting thing about these splitters is that they can operate from Read the rest of this entry »

Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy and motion into hydraulic fluid power. The basic idea is very simple: force that is applied at one position is transmitted to another(a) position using an incompressible fluid, like oil, which cannot be flat but rather is displaced when pressure is applied.

Hydraulic cylinder repair is quite a costly affair and hence, it is very important that it is through in the right way. Using the right tools for the same is indeed the first thing that should be unbroken in mind. Read on to know more about this… Read the rest of this entry »

The vacuum truck plays a central role in our society. It takes care of the muck and dirt in sewers that would otherwise cause a nasty overflow during a storm. While this equipment is extremely capable of taking care of almost any kind of material, whether it is partially liquid, completely solid or even toxic, it does require strict maintenance routines. One of the most crucial parts of the vacuum truck that requires regular maintenance is its hydraulic system. Read the rest of this entry »
