Fluid Power Basics Lesson Plan

The PDF file found below will assist both the teacher and student in learning about the basic fundamental concepts regarding fluid power. This includes both pneumatic, which utilize gas, and hydraulic, which utilize liquid, systems. Both systems contain four basic components: a reservoir, a pump or compressor, a valve, and a cylinder. Using the Portable Fluid Power Demonstrator (PFPD), students learn about the properties of gases and liquids in addition to how forces are transmitted and multiplied within these systems.
