52nd National Conference on Fluid Power

March 23-25, 2011

The 52nd National Conference on Fluid Power (NCFP) will be held in conjunction with IFPE 2011. The NCFP will emphasize new technologies and methods related to improved analysis, design, manufacturing and performance of fluid power components and systems for mobile and industrial markets. On Wednesday and Thursday, the conference will open with keynote addresses from leading industry experts on pumps and hydraulic hybrids. Subject areas of papers and presentations include:

• Fluid Power Systems
     -hydraulic, hydro-mechanical, hydro-electric, hybrid (energy storage)
• Basic Components
     -pumps, motors, transmissions (HST, HMT, hybrid), actuators, controls, electronics, valves, hoses, piping, fittings
• Analysis, Modeling, Simulation
     -component fluid system (CFD), system/vehicle integration, system/vehicle optimization, control systems
• Noise and Vibration: analysis/measurement/control
     -fluid-borne, structure-borne, air-borne
• Fluids
     -new fluids, green concerns (biodegradable), fluid properties, contamination/filtration
• Materials/Manufacturing
     -new materials, improved manufacturing practices (tolerances, reliability, efficiency), green materials and manufacturing techniques
• Auxiliary Components Related to Fluid Power
     -electric motors, brakes, clutches, gear boxes, linear positioners, belts and pulleys
• Standards
     -industry, national, international

Upon completion of the conference, Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available at no additional fee.
