Academic fluid power research in the USA

International Journal of Hydromechatronics (IJHM), Vol. 1, No. 1, 2018

Abstract: With the formation of the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP) in 2006, there has been a resurgence of academic fluid power research in the USA. The centre's vision is to make fluid power the technology of choice for power generation, transmission, storage, and motion control. To address fluid power's key technical barriers, the CCEFP research strategy supports and coordinates pre-competitive research in three thrust areas: efficiency, compactness and effectiveness, where effectiveness means making fluid power safer, easier to use, leak free and quiet. This paper reviews some of the most important results from the first decade of CCEFP research.
