Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, actuators and valves are fluid power components; mechanisms used to convert energy into fluid energy. The mechanism usually consists of a prime mover that drives a pump. The pressure of the fluids under use greatly impacts power generation, control, and transmission. The speed of machines in an automated system is regulated using a control mechanism. Motion control in such systems can be achieved through the use of linear actuators, electric motors, or hydraulic pumps.
