 Enlarged copy of hints to Fluid Power Terms Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 3 The use of gas flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another. 5 The use of a liquid flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another. 9 Pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions. 10 A switching device that uses the magnetic field generated by an electrical current for actuation. 12 A valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents flow in the opposite direction. 18 A device used to measure flow rate. 23 A device used to create flow in a hydraulic system. 25 The total pressure exerted on a system, including atmospheric pressure. 26 A cylinder that acts under pressure in one direction only and returns automatically when the pressure is released. 30 A sliding piece moved by or moving against fluid pressure which usually consists of a short cylindrical body fitting within a cylindrical chamber or vessel along which it moves back and forth. 31 A device that holds the compressed air in a pneumatic system. 32 The amount or quantity of something. 33 Used to control which path fluid takes in a circuit. DOWN 1 A device used to convert fluid power into mechanical power in the form of linear motion. 2 Any device that controls, either automatically or manually, the flow of a fluid. 3 The force per unit area exerted by a fluid against a surface. 4 A measure of a fluid’s thickness or resistance to flow. 6 An air pump that compresses air into a receiver tank. 7 A part of an axle or shaft bent out at right angles, for converting reciprocal to circular motion and vice versa. 8 The volume of fluid that moves through a system in a given period of time. 11 The distance the fluid travels through a system in a given period of time. 13 A type of pressure control valve that limits the maximum pressure in a hydraulic or pneumatic circuit. 14 The absolute pressure of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature, provided its volume stays constant. 15 Used to transport fluid in a circuit. 16 A type of pneumatic pressure control valve that controls the maximum pressure in a branch of a circuit. 17 A cylinder that can act under pressure in both directions (extend and retract) to move a load. 19 The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above the point of measurement. 20 The volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it. 21 Used to start and stop flow in a circuit. 22 A device used to spray an oil mist into the stream of a pneumatic system. 24 The use of a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another. 27 States that the volume of a confined gas is proportional to its temperature, provided its pressure remains constant. 28 A device used to remove contamination from a fluid. 29 The tank that holds the fluid in a hydraulic system. ANSWER KEY
