Fluidics--Basic Components and Applications.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA049256 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Since its discovery at Harry Diamond Laboratories in 1959, fluidics has gradually been developed into a viable technology. This report provides a description of fluidic components and systems now in use or ready for use in many applications. The fluidic technology provides sensing, computing, and controlling functions with fluid power through the interactions of fluid streams. Sinc fluidics can perform these functions without mechanical moving parts that will wear out, it has the advantages of simplicity and reliability. Other advantages discussed are the low cost, environmental insensitivity, and safety of fluidic systems.
