Across
- 4. Velocity The distance the fluid travels through a system in a given period of time.
- 6. A device used to spray an oil mist into the stream of a pneumatic system.
- 8. A switching device that uses the magnetic field generated by an electrical current for actuation.
- 12. Valve Used to control which path fluid takes in a circuit.
- 13. A measure of a fluid’s thickness or resistance to flow.
- 15. The force per unit area exerted by a fluid against a surface.
- 16. Any device that controls, either automatically or manually, the flow of a fluid.
- 17. Lines Used to transport fluid in a circuit.
- 18. Valve A valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents flow in the opposite direction.
- 19. A device used to remove contamination from a fluid.
- 21. A device used to create flow in a hydraulic system.
- 22. Law The absolute pressure of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature, provided its volume stays constant.
- 25. A part of an axle or shaft bent out at right angles, for converting reciprocal to circular motion and vice versa.
- 26. An air pump that compresses air into a receiver tank.
- 28. The use of a liquid flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another.
Down
- 1. Pressure The total pressure exerted on a system, including atmospheric pressure.
- 2. Power The use of a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another.
- 3. The use of gas flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another.
- 5. Valve Used to start and stop flow in a circuit.
- 7. The tank that holds the fluid in a hydraulic system.
- 9. Cylinder A cylinder that acts under pressure in one direction only and returns automatically when the pressure is released.
- 10. Cylinder A cylinder that can act under pressure in both directions (extend and retract) to move a load.
- 11. Law Pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions.
- 14. Law States that the volume of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature, provided its pressure remains constant.
- 20. The amount or quantity of something.
- 21. A sliding piece moved by or moving against fluid pressure which usually consists of a short cylindrical body fitting within a cylindrical chamber or vessel along which it moves back and forth.
- 23. Pressure The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above the point of measurement.
- 24. Law The volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it.
- 25. A device used to convert fluid power into mechanical power in the form of linear motion.
- 27. Regulator A type of pneumatic pressure control valve that controls the maximum pressure in a branch of a circuit.
- 29. Tank A device that holds the compressed air in a pneumatic system.
