Fluid Power

Serving the Fluid Power Industry at T-LON Products

“Fluid Power” is the term we use to describe hydraulic and pneumatic technologies, as both use a fluid – either liquid or gas – to transfer power from location to location. Hydraulic and pneumatic technologies fall into the category of “power transmission,” which means power is converted to a more compliant form and then transported to where the power is needed. Fluid Power isn’t the only form of power transmission – mechanical and electrical are also common methods.

Advantages of Fluid Power

  • Fluid Power can usually transfer the same amount of power as mechanical or electrical, but in a much smaller space (and especially when extreme force and/or torque is needed)
  • Fluid Power easily produces linear motion, whereas mechanical and electrical require a mechanical device to change rotational motion to linear motion
  • Fluid Power offers simple yet effective control using simple control valves. These valves govern the direction, speed, force and torque of the power transmission
  • Fluid Power systems usually does not need electrical power, thus eliminating the risk of electrical shock, sparks, fire and explosions

The Key Difference Between Hydraulic & Pneumatic Technology

Hydraulic

a technology that uses a liquid, usually oil, to transmit power

Pneumatic

a technology that uses gas, usually compressed air, to transmit power

Applications of Fluid Power

T-LON Products at Work in the Fluid Power Industry

T-LON’s series of Piston Seals are specifically engineered to serve the Fluid Power Industry. Hydraulic cylinders can be very large in size – for an application like a dam. Pneumatic cylinders are typically smaller in size and can be used in applications such as pneumatic brakes.
