Introduction To Hydraulics
What is hydraulic?
The study of hydraulics deals with the use and characteristics of liquids. Since the beginning of time, man has used fluids to ease his burden.
Earliest recorded history shows that devices such as pump and water wheels were known in very ancient times. It was not however, until the 17th century that the branch of hydraulics with which we are to be concerned first came into use
Both are Cheaper medium of Industrial automation Maximum application of pneumatics Construction (power hammers, drills, riveting hammers, pneumatic cranes, air brakes, printingpresses etc.) With introduction of hydraulics and pneumatics the industries is benefited with cheaper medium of industrial automation. Due to that production become more and cost of product is reduced to low
HYDRAULICS
The technology of hydraulics deals with the study of the behavior and application of a Pressurized oil. Form Greek Work Hydra- means water Aulics- means pipe i.e. this implies fluid (water or oil) are commonly used in pipe line.
Based upon a principle discovered by the French scientist Pascal , Pressure exerted at any point on a confined liquid is transmitted undiminished in all directions.

Pressure applied to piston A is transferred equally to a piston of the same size B because PSI is the same throughout the system.
If the surface area of piston B is 10 times the surface area of piston A, then the force applied to piston A is multiplied 10 times as the force exerted on piston B. PSI is equal throughout the system.
Pneumatic

TYPES OF HYDRAULICS
A basic distinaction is made between: stationary hydraulics :-Stationary hydraulic systems which remain firmly fixed in one position. stationary hydraulics, however, mainly solenoid valves are used. mobile hydraulics :-Mobile hydraulic systems move on wheels or chains. A character feature of mobile hydraulics is that valves are frequently manually operated.
Types of pneumatics
Pollution of the environment by wise oil (danger of fire or accident) Danger resulting from excessive pressure Temp dependence (Change in viscosity) Un favorable efficiency factor
Advantage of pneumatics
Wide availability of air Compressibility of air Easy transportability Explosion proof characteristics of the medium Simple construction of pneumatic elements and easy handling High degree of controllability of pressure, speed and force Possibility of easy but reasonably reliable remote controlling Easier maintenance Comparatively cheaper in cost than other systems
Dis advantage
Compressible Nature not Suitable for precise positioning and machine tool application not Satable for heavy load
The following application areas are important for stationary hydraulics: Production and assembly machines of all types Transfer lines Lifting and conveying devices Presses Injection moulding machines Rolling lines Lifts
Mobile hydraulics Typical application fields for mobile hydraulics include: Construction machinery Lifting and conveying devices Agriculture machinery
