Pneumatics & Hydraulics by Mario Calvillo López https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk Hecho con una mente abierta en-us 2020-12-15 12:15:40 UTC 2026-02-01 13:34:16 UTC hello@padlet.com What is Pneumatics? luka_herrero https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1019629596 Pneumatics is when compressed air or compressed inert gases can be used to power machines or it can also pump up stuff like tires.]]> 2020-12-15 12:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1019629596 Which are the main applications of Pneumatics? luka_herrero https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1019629855 Pneumatic systems are mostly used in industrial environments but have also some comercial and domestic applications.

Industrial Environments:
-Assembling and manufacturing processes
-Moving and manufacturing arms
-Machines which require a repetitive action

Comercial and Domestic Environments:
-Air pumps
-Air compressors
-Pistons for doors

-Compressor:
The compressor is the starting point for the circuit. The compressors takes fresh air, filters it, and compresses it so that it can be used in the system

-Reservoir:
From the compressor, the compressed air will be stored in the reservoir so that it can be later on used.

-Valves:
The valves will regulate the flow of air and re-route it so that the circuit can be opened or closed

-Circuit :
This is the path that the air will follow from the compressor to the reservoir to the valve and finally the actuator

-Acutator:
This is the part of the system that moves. They are often seen in pistons and they are the end pieces that move in a linear and straight motion.

-Car brakes:
Car brakes use brake fluid, to transfer pressure from the brake pedal inside the car to the braking mechanism.

-Hydraulic Press: 
This machine uses an hydraulic force equivalent of a mechanical lever to compress materials

-Hydraulic Excavator: 
In its arm, some hydraulics cylinders work to make the up and down movements of it.]]> 2020-12-15 12:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1019631437 Compare both systems, hydraulics and pneumatics, and analyze advantages and disadvantages of each. luka_herrero https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1019631552 Hydraulic systems primarily for heavy lifting applications such as the jaws of life. When it comes to moving or manufacturing products it is recommended to use pneumatic systems because there is no chance of contamination due to burst pipes or oil leaks. Pneumatic systems are selected above hydraulic systems because of the lower cost, flexibility, and higher safety levels of the system.

-Reservoir oil tank: This is were the fluid is stored and perserved.

-Piping:
The piping is what brings the fluid from one part to the other.

-Hydraulic pump:
The hydraulic pumps role forces the fluid to go arround the circuit.

-Power source:
It's what makes all the circuit work correctly.

-Actuator:
This is what changes the hydraulic power to mechanical power.
It could be:
- A hydraulic cylinder
- A Hydraulic motor

-Valves:
Valves control the pressure, flow rate and direction of the fluid.]]> 2020-12-15 12:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1019631901 Working Pneumatic system with labeled parts luka_herrero https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1078271445 2021-01-12 12:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1078271445 Working Hydraulic system mariocalvillo https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1080059488 2021-01-12 18:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1080059488 mariocalvillo https://padlet.com/mariocalvillo/2mi1l0saga8wq9fk/wish/1086143153 https://www.fsenergy.com/technology/hydraulic-system/
