AboutAbout the lab
Studying the transmission, conversion, and control of power
The Mechatronics and Fluid Power Lab studies the transmission, conversion, and control of power in mechanical systems.
Focusing on transmitting, converting, and controlling electric, fluid, and mechanical power with high efficiency, the lab works with a wide range of actuators.
The lab also develops devices that serve as interfaces for electronic-mechanical control and electronic-fluid control, and works on making power transmission systems more energy-efficient.
Key terms
- Actuator
- A device that converts power such as electric or fluid power into mechanical power, such as speed and force, or torque and rotational speed
- Hydraulic system
- A mechanism that converts fluid power into mechanical power. A pneumatic system serves the same purpose
ResearchResearch themes
A device that converts power such as electric or fluid power into mechanical power is called an actuator. The lab studies power transmission and control in various actuators, including motors, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic systems, with the aim of improving the performance and efficiency of industrial machinery.
