Description

F15 encompasses fluid-pressure actuators and general hydraulic and pneumatic systems that convert fluid pressure into mechanical motion or force. This class covers pumps, motors, cylinders, accumulators, valves, and control systems used in hydraulic and pneumatic applications across various industries including manufacturing, construction, and automation. Related technologies include pressure regulation, flow control, energy storage, and fluid transmission through pipes and hoses. Adjacent classes F16 (engineering elements and general mechanical engineering) and specific application classes handle specialized mechanical components and domain-specific implementations.
