SARC was created to encourage national coordination and alignment of academic research in aeronautics.

The division Fluid and Mechatronic Systems belongs to Department of Management and Engineering and carries out research and education in fluid power systems and aeronautics.

Electrifying hydraulics on, for example, an excavator can significantly improve efficiency. However, it requires major technical changes. Electric machines have different characteristics compared to combustion engines.

Designing and building an autonomously flying aircraft to document weather conditions in an Arctic climate. The master’s students in Aeronautical Engineering received a substantial boost in applying their theoretical knowledge.

Students from ¸£Àû¼§ and Stanford have developed a drone that can help firefighters combat forest fires in a safer and smarter way.

LiU has the largest university laboratory for fluid power systems in Sweden. We aim to develop smarter and more energy efficient hydraulic systems, components and methods to reduce energy losses.

The aim of the project is to promote the electrification of working machines. Neither the hydraulic systems nor the pumps are currently optimised for use with an electrical primary source of energy.

Hydraulikdagarna is a conference with a long tradition at ¸£Àû¼§ and was first implemented in 1977. Please visit our Swedish page for more information.

The Division of Fluid and Mechatronic Systems, Flumes, at ¸£Àû¼§ and the Swedish Fluid power Association, IFS, is hosting the Scandinavian International Conference on Fluid Power 2021, SICFP’21, June 1 - 2.

LiU, and the Division of Fluid and Mechatronic Systems in particular, is host for HOPSAN – a simulation tool that can predict fluid power, electric power, flight and vehicle dynamics.
