2. Hydropneumatic device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_device

   Hydropneumatic refers to the pneumatic (gas) and hydraulic (water) components needed for operation of the devices. Hydropneumatic accumulators or pulsation dampeners are devices which prevent, but do not absorb, alleviate, arrest, attenuate, or suppress a shock that already exists, meaning that these devices prevent the creation of a shock wave ...

3. Dashpot timer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot_timer

   If the fluid used to move the piston is air it is actually known as a pneumatic dashpot. If the fluid is oil, it is known as a hydraulic dashpot. Another kind of dashpot timer is the mercury displacement timer, this model uses mercury to contact electrodes.

4. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

   Pneumatic cylinder, also known as air cylinder, is a mechanical device which uses the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion. [1]: 85 Like in a hydraulic cylinder, something forces a piston to move in the desired direction. The piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops ...

5. Working fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_fluid

   In hydraulics, water or hydraulic fluid transfers force between hydraulic components such as hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders, and hydraulic motors that are assembled into hydraulic machinery, hydraulic drive systems, etc. In pneumatics, the working fluid is air or another gas which transfers force between pneumatic components such as ...

6. Pneumatics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatics

   Pneumatics (from Greek πνεῦμα pneuma 'wind, breath') is the use of gas or pressurized air in mechanical systems. Pneumatic systems used in industry are commonly powered by compressed air or compressed inert gases. A centrally located and electrically-powered compressor powers cylinders, air motors, pneumatic actuators, and other ...

7. 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.
