  2. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

    Hydraulic systems are smaller and less expensive. Hydraulic fluid must be non-compressible. Unlike air brakes, where a valve is opened and air flows into the lines and brake chambers until the pressure rises sufficiently, hydraulic systems rely on a single stroke of a piston to force fluid through the system. If any vapor is introduced into the ...

  3. Hydraulic machinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_machinery

    CP is simple in design, and works like a pneumatic system. New hydraulic functions can easily be added and the system is quick in response. Constant pressure systems, unloaded. Same basic configuration as 'standard' CP system but the pump is unloaded to a low stand-by pressure when all valves are in neutral position.

  4. Fluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics

    A module with two input streams at the top, an AND output bucket in the middle, and an XOR output stream at the bottom.. Fluidics, or fluidic logic, is the use of a fluid to perform analog or digital operations similar to those performed with electronics.

  5. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

    The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...

  6. Hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

    A hydraulic cylinder is the actuator or "motor" side of this system. The "generator" side of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump which delivers a fixed or regulated flow of oil to the hydraulic cylinder, to move the piston. There are three types of pump widely used: hydraulic hand pump, hydraulic air pump, and hydraulic electric pump.

  7. Hydraulics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulics

    Hydraulics and other studies [1] An open channel, with a uniform depth. Open-channel hydraulics deals with uniform and non-uniform streams. Illustration of hydraulic and hydrostatic, from the "Table of Hydraulics and Hydrostatics", from Cyclopædia, or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, edited by Ephraim Chambers, 1728, Vol. 1

  8. Fluid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_power

    A fluid power system has a pump driven by a prime mover (such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine) that converts mechanical energy into fluid energy, Pressurized fluid is controlled and directed by valves into an actuator device such as a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, to provide linear motion, or a hydraulic motor or pneumatic motor, to provide rotary motion or torque.

  9. Manifold (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_(fluid_mechanics)

    Hydraulic manifold A component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps Inlet manifold (or "intake manifold") An engine part that supplies the air or fuel/air mixture to the cylinders Scuba manifold In a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders Vacuum gas manifold
