Technology & Engineering Resources
Fluid Power Systems
Students design and build a hydraulically operated robot arm. Using the World Wide Web, students gain background information about fluid principles, hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical advantage. At the conclusion of their research, students construct a prototype that satisfies a given list of criteria. Devices are then tested and checked for range of motion and satisfaction of the given criteria.

Broad Concept: Fluid systems are made up of liquids or gases and allow force to be transferred from one location to another. They also provide water, gas, and oil, and remove waste. They can be moving or stationary and have associated pressures and velocities. - Technology/Engineering > 7.0 Manufacturing Technologies (Grade: 9 – 10)
Broad Concept: Manufacturing processes can be classified into six groups: casting and molding, forming, separating, conditioning, assembling, and finishing.
