From the early days of the industrial revolution, fluid power and fluid handling technologies have been a steady force in changing the way the world works. The operating principles of fluid power may remain constant, but fluid power capabilities continually improve. Pumps are more powerful, valves are smarter, and actuators, more precise. And some of the most dramatic changes in the history of modern fluid are power taking place right now. These include the use of computational fluid dynamics for virtual testing, centralized lubrication for pneumatic automation, and the rising use of fluid power in energy saving solutions.
