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.
