BREVINI HYDRAULICS AND FLUID POWER

Fluid power is a term describing hydraulics and pneumatics technologies. Both technologies use a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another. With hydraulics, the fluid is a liquid (usually oil), whereas pneumatics uses a gas (usually compressed air).

Fluid power is known to have the highest power density when compared to other conventional power-transmission technologies. There are two basic types of fluid power systems: hydraulic systems, which use liquids such as water and oil, and pneumatic systems, which utilize neutral gases such as air.

They use hydraulics to increase water pressure for better cleaning. Dishwashers fitted with hydraulics are also generally quieter. Construction machines. Equipment such as cranes, forklifts, jacks, pumps and fall arrest safety harnesses use hydraulics to lift and lower objects.
