Course Objective

Pneumatic systems are widely used in industrial processes and automation applications. Conveying of power by compressed air is made attractive because of that Pneumatic systems are affordable, clean, secure, their simple structure .There is plenty of air in the atmosphere and the low cost of obtaining are advantages. The aim of this course is to have an idea on pneumatic transmission systems, the design and application.
