Course detail
Fluid Power
FSI-MIMAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course provides students with basic knowledge in the field of fluid power - hydraulic and pneumatic mechanisms which are a part of many modern machines and equipment. It contains the basic theoretical knowledge, description of the most important hydraulic elements, hydraulic drives, introduction to the design of hydraulic circuits and to maintenance and diagnostics. It describes the pneumatic elements, circuits, basic theory, as well as the application in the field of pneumatic mechanisms.
