Future Trends in Industrial Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Implications for Operations and Maintenance

Abstract

The versatility and precision that hydraulics and pneumatics provide to the distribution of power and control makes them essential to modern production processes. Hydraulic systems use Pascal’s law and pressure to distribute the force in liquids within constrained spaces to provide a large amount of power with little energy that is expended. Likewise, another prominent mechanical technology involving the use of compressed air to power equipment and automation systems is Pneumatic system that is versatile and efficient in many sectors of industries.
