Pneumatics & Hydraulics
For many years fluid and air power has provided the industrial 'muscle' to move mechanical systems. These systems involve the generation, transmission and control of pressurised fluid or gas. This form of power and its associated components offer a relatively simple and low cost means to implement high power design solutions and automatic manufacturing control systems. One of the advantages of such a power source is its safe use in environments of high flammability where the use of electrical power can be restricted or prohibited. The components used in fluid and air systems tend to be relatively uncomplicated consisting mainly of mechanical parts that can be easily constructed to perform specific process operations. Their simplicity offers low maintenance, high reliability with high efficiency and compactness making them an ideal choice in many applications over their electrical/electronic counter parts.
There are numerous applications of fluid and air power, some can be found in our daily lives in obvious applications such as motor vehicle braking and suspension systems, lifts and jacks through to aircraft flap controls, industrial road breakers, and material crushers.
One area where this power is extensively applied is in the manufacturing industry where the power is used to automate processes through the application of actuators, sensors and motors forming systems that control the process activity, partly, and in some applications, from start to finish.
Feedback has a wide range of Pneumatic and Hydraulic system trainers that cover the many techniques used in industrial systems, manufacturing, and in component handling.
This extensive product range has been conceived for the training of technicians, engineers and maintenance staff that require knowledge of the many technical disciplines applied in today's manufacturing industries. Armed with this knowledge technical staff are able to cope with the wide variety of problems that can arise with regularity in the industrial work place.
