2. Control devices

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure, also known as air pressure or barometric pressure (after the barometer), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.

See Shuttle valve and Atmospheric pressure

Brake

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system.

See Shuttle valve and Brake

Compressor

A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.

See Shuttle valve and Compressor

Control valve

A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. Shuttle valve and control valve are control devices and valves.

See Shuttle valve and Control valve

Fluid

In physics, a fluid is a liquid, gas, or other material that may continuously move and deform (flow) under an applied shear stress, or external force.

See Shuttle valve and Fluid

Heavy industry

Heavy industry is an industry that involves one or more characteristics such as large and heavy products; large and heavy equipment and facilities (such as heavy equipment, large machine tools, huge buildings and large-scale infrastructure); or complex or numerous processes.

See Shuttle valve and Heavy industry

Hydraulics

Hydraulics is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids.

See Shuttle valve and Hydraulics

Instrumentation

Instrumentation is a collective term for measuring instruments, used for indicating, measuring, and recording physical quantities.

See Shuttle valve and Instrumentation

Master cylinder

In automotive engineering, the master cylinder is a control device that converts force (commonly from a driver's foot) into hydraulic pressure.

See Shuttle valve and Master cylinder

OR gate

The OR gate is a digital logic gate that implements logical disjunction.

See Shuttle valve and OR gate

Pneumatics

Pneumatics (from Greek πνεῦμα 'wind, breath') is a branch of engineering that makes use of gas or pressurized air.

See Shuttle valve and Pneumatics

Pressure

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.

See Shuttle valve and Pressure

Valve

A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Shuttle valve and valve are valves.

See Shuttle valve and Valve

Winch

A winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the tension of a rope or wire rope (also called "cable" or "wire cable").

See Shuttle valve and Winch
