Industrial Transmission Systems Hydraulics
We will Look at the basic concepts of hydraulic operation Evaluate hydraulic systems in comparison to other systems Look at where hydraulic control is used within an automotive context Look at transmission systems in a wider context
What do we need to transmit? Signals Force Energy Data Momentum etc
How can we transmit? Wireless Wired Hydraulic Pneumatic Levers and pulleys Optical Electrical
Task: Where do we find Hydraulic systems in everyday life? Why do we use hydraulics for power transfer? What medium is used for hydraulics?
Hydraulic Transmission Pascal's law is the basis of hydraulic drive systems. As the pressure in the system is the same, the force that the fluid gives to the surroundings is therefore equal to pressure × area.Pascal's law In such a way, a small piston feels a small force and a large piston feels a large force.

Discuss: What are the advantages of hydraulic systems? What are potential problems? What are the disadvantages of hydraulic systems? Provide examples for the following: where would you choose an hydraulic system over an electrical system! What are the fundamental differences of an hydraulic and a pneumatic system
Conclusion Hydraulic systems are used in industrial control and transmission systems A small amount of power can lift a big load A modern way to replace levers and pulleys
