The Hydraulics and Pneumatics Research Institute is structured on several research and development divisions and laboratories as follows:

Division of servo techniques, electronics and mechatronics

This division has specialists in servo valves, proportional hydraulics devices, control electronics devices, electro-hydraulic control systems and automation of the complex equipment that include hydraulic and pneumatic devices. By combining mechano-hydraulic equipment with electronic systems and software programs in control and adjustment of the process complex mechatronic systems can be created.

This division coordinates the activity of three laboratories:
» LABORATORY of Mechatronic equipment and Robotics (click for more details)
» LABORATORY of Electro-hydraulic control equipment (click for more details)
» LABORATORY of Electronics equipment (click for more details)

Division of basic hydraulics

This division has specialists in general use hydraulic and pneumatic equipment (valves, directional control valves, throttles, regulators, cylinders, rotary motors and hydraulic and pneumatic driving installations). This division designs and develops presses and other devices used for environmental protection, extrication equipment as well as mechano-hydraulic systems for disabled persons.

This division coordinates the activity of four laboratories:
» LABORATORY of Tribology and Lubrication equipment (click for more details)
» LABORATORY of Fluid Mecanics (click for more details)
» LABORATORY of Basic Hydraulic (click for more details)
» LABORATORY of Hydrostatic Transmissions (click for more details)

Division of special equipment

This division has engineers specialized in design, development and technical support for sealing equipment and devices, irrigation systems and equipment as well as in design of power generating systems through non-conventional methods.

This division coordinates the activity of three laboratories:
» LABORATORY of Sealing Systems (click for more details)
» LABORATORY of Pneumatic Devices (click for more details)
» LABORATORY of Environmental Protections (click for more details)

Test laboratories for equipments

» TESTING LABORATORY of hydraulic equipment for high pressure adjustments (more details)
» TESTING LABORATORY of hydraulic equipment for high and medium pressure( more details)
» TESTING LABORATORY of lubrication system and equipment (more details)

The research laboratories of our institute are all grouped on a special work space built inside the building. In this work space, beside specialized stands there are also general use stands where all kind of equipments running on oil or air can be tested. Our laboratories hold an adequate endowment: enough stands, transducers adequate for our research field, data acquisition and data processing systems.
