Fluid power is the use of fluids under pressure to generate, control, and transmit power. Fluid power is subdivided into hydraulics using a liquid such as mineral oil or water, and pneumatics using a gas such as air or other gases. Compressed-air and water-pressure systems were once used to transmit power from a central source to industrial users over extended geographic areas; fluid power systems today are usually within a single building or mobile machine. ==Practical use== A fluid power system has a pump driven by a prime mover (such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine) that converts mechanical energy into fluid energy. This fluid flow is used to actuate a device such as: * A hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, provides force in a linear fashion * A hydraulic motor or pneumatic motor, provides continuous rotational motion or torque * A rotary actuator provides rotational motion of less than 360 degrees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「fluid power」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
