Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are used in a very wide range of engineering applications to control and power movement in mobile machines such as excavators, trucks and aircraft, and in industrial applications such as in factory automation and infrastructure projects. The total sales of fluid power equipment in 2017 in the UK (including exports) were over £1.1 billion. The industry employs over 10,000 people within the fluid power market in the UK, hydraulics accounts for around 80% and pneumatics about 20%.

HYDRAULICS - The experimental rig above uses three double valve/solenoid dc power packs operating at 24 volts to supply four double acting rams and two revolving motors. The rams are to move the mast and tilt mechanism of an innovative wind turbine rig for boats linked to solar panel arrays to be able to track the sun.
