INTRODUCTION TO FLUID POWER

Fluid  power  is  a  term  which  was  created  to include  the  generation,  control,  and  application of  smooth,  effective  power  of  pumped  or compressed fluids (either liquids or gases) when this  power  is  used  to  provide  force  and  motion to mechanisms. This force and motion maybe in the form of pushing, pulling, rotating, regulating, or driving.  Fluid power includes  hydraulics,  which involves liquids, and pneumatics, which involves gases.  Liquids and gases are similar in  many respects.  The  differences  are  pointed  out  in  the appropriate  areas  of  this  manual. This  manual  presents  many  of  the  fundamental  concepts  in  the  fields  of  hydraulics  and pneumatics.  It  is  intended  as  a  basic  reference  for all   personnel   of   the   Navy   whose   duties   and responsibilities  require  them  to  have  a  knowledge of  the  fundamentals  of  fluid  power.
Consequently, emphasis is placed primarily  on  the theory of operation of typical fluid power systems and components that have applications in naval equipment. Many applications of fluid power are presented in this manual to illustrate the functions and   operation   of   different   systems   and   components. However, these are only representative of the many applications of fluid power in naval equipment. Individual training manuals for each rate provide information concerning the application   of   fluid   power   to   specific   equipment   for which  the  rating  is  responsible.

Materials used for Hydraulic Arm

Innovation components allow for greater alternative and innovative designs. They are not required, but are suggested to bring more engineering and innovation to the activity. Only a few innovation components are usually needed to create alternative designs, so your supply of innovation components can be used for many hydraulic arms and other activities. Here are the components that are used in this project:
  •          Hydraulic cylinders (Syringe with clips and mounts)
  •          Hydraulic Lines (Vinyl Tubing)
  •          Perpendicular wooden blocks and Dowels
  •          Chip board
  •          Screws
  •          10 square nuts
  •          10 washers
  •          Connector strips
  •          Galvanised coloured wire
  •          Rubber band
  •        A nything else things like the recycling bin, wood, metal, plastic, broken toys, etc.

 

CONCLUSION:

Our design uses extremely simple ideas and mechanisms to achieve a complex set of actions and is intended to imitate the actions of the operators. However, these hydraulic arms are expensive for small scale industries. If the major problem of high initial cost is addressed, a robotic hydraulic arm can be introduced in any industry to bring in automation. The mechanical links and parts that have been fabricated are extremely simple.

 That Hydraulic Arm will-

  •      Reach the greatest distance to deliver a given object.
  •      Pick up the heaviest possible object.
  •      Deliver the most objects in a given amount of time.
  •      Function in an assembly line.
  •      Have a system to weigh the object it picks up.
  •      Battle against another arm for an object.
  •      Rotate as well as reach and grab.
  •      Dig and recover objects.
