Pneumatic and Hydraulic Systems

This topic delves into the operation, components, and design of pneumatic (air-powered) and hydraulic (fluid-powered) systems. Learners will analyse advantages and disadvantages, identify components like valves and actuators, and draw circuit diagrams using standard symbols. This knowledge is key for understanding automated and high-force control systems, an advanced area within the Zambian Systems Technology syllabus. It prepares learners for technical questions in ECZ exams and potential vocational paths in engineering fields.
