Fluid Power is Unique Unparalleled torque,
power and bandwidth for the same weight or
volume. Example Power/Weight (kW/kg) Pneumatic
Motor 0.3-0.4 Hydraulic Motor 0.5-1.0 Electric
Motor 0.03-0.1 Fluid power weight advantage

Pneumatic Actuating Systems for Automatic
Equipment, Taylor and Francis, 2006.

Pneumatics compared to hydraulics
  • No problems of a spills
  • Compressibility stores energy
  • Available for your use
  • Dangerous if excessivevolumes or pressures
  • Difficult to control precisely
  • Fluid is readily available
  • Should be filtered, dry
  • Usually lower forces

Safety Must Always Be Considered!
23
Pressure of an ideal Gas
  • Pressure of a gas is due to the force of gas
    molecules bouncing off the walls.
  • Pressure increases when molecules are moving
    faster, heavier, or if there are more molecules.
  • Molecules move faster when they are hot.
  • mR depends on molecule.

Pressure P
24
Getting Work out of Air
  • Work is force acting over a distance, ft-lbs.
  • Put air in a container under pressure
  • Allow part of the container to expand
  • The expanding part does work

25
How much energy is in a tank filled with
compressed air?
26
How much energy is in a small air tank?
  • Tank Volume 150 ml or 9.154 in3
  • Pressure 413,700 Pa or 60 psi (over Patm)
  • Patm 101,325 Pa or 14.7 psi

Answer Energy PV ln(P/Patm) 0.15 x
515025 x ln(74.7/14.7) 125 kJ
Challenge question How high could the instructor
be lifted using the energy in one tank?
27
How much energy in your tankcan you use?
  • Line lossesPressure drop proportional to flow
  • Throttling lossesPressure drop proportional to
    flow squared
  • Cylinder frictionCoulomb plus viscous friction,
    depends on seals

28
Force available
  • Pressure x Area Force
  • Area pi x Bore2 / 4
  • For example cylinder
  • Bore 10 mm .394 in. ? Area .122 in2
  • Force PxA 60 psi x .122 in2 7 lbs
