4.0 THEORY

Hydraulic fluids are a large group of fluids used as the motive medium in hydraulic machinery. Fluid types include synthetic compounds, mineral oil, water, and water-based mixtures. The fluids are found in machinery and equipment ranging from brakes, power steering systems, and transmissions to backhoes, excavators, garbage trucks and industrial shredders. Hydraulic systems are very common in aircraft flight control systems
A hydraulic circuit is an interconnected set of components that convert pressurized liquid (usually oil) into mechanical work. The circuit comprises the following components:
• Active components
o Power pack
• Transmission lines
o Hydraulic hoses
• Passive components
o Hydraulic cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders get their power from pressurized hydraulic fluid, which is typically oil. The cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, in which a piston connected to a piston rod is moving. The barrel is closed by the cylinder bottom and by the cylinder head where the piston rod comes out of the cylinder. The piston has sliding rings and seals. The piston divides the inside of the cylinder in two chambers, the bottom chamber and the piston rod side chamber. The hydraulic pressure acts on the piston to do linear work.
A hydraulic cylinder is the actuator or "motor" side of this system. The "generator" side of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump, that brings a fixed or regulated flow of oil into the system. Mounting brackets or clevisses are mounted to the cylinder bottom as well as the piston rod.

3.0 SAFETY AND HEALTH

4.0 THEORY

Automation Studio is a circuit design, simulation and project documentation software for fluid power systems and electrical projects conceived by Famic Technologies in 1996. It is also used for CAD, maintenance, and training purposes. Mainly used by engineers, trainers, and service and maintenance personnel, Automation Studio can be applied in the design, training and troubleshooting of hydraulics, pneumatics, synoptics, and electrical control systems. This software is use to design pure pneumatic circuit, pneumatic cascade circuit, electro-pneumatic circuit and hidraulic circuit, it is easy to use and user friendly.

4.0 THEORY

A programmable logic controller (PLC), is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact.
In this labsheet we are going to come accross new electro-pneumatic electric componen that coil and contact. There 2 tpye of contact, normally open and normally close.
