Application of 3D CAD software to design pneumatic cylinders. The paper presents possibilities of using 3D CAD software to design pneumatic cylindres. A pneumatic rodless cylinder was modelled by means of SolidWorks software. The model is applied to computer simulation, animation and control of servo-pneumatic systems.

Application of neural networks to calculation of hydrodynamic transmission system. In the paper aspects of using of neural networks to create a hydrodynamic transmission system functional model were described. Based on a professional computer program calculations exemplary hydrodynamic transmission system were made. As a result for a simple structure of network a low value of calculation error was obtained.

Work pressure changes detection in positive-displacement pump. The article presents the possibility of use parametrical ARX model of electro-hydraulic system in his work fault detection. Model parameters dependence of system work pressure changes due to improper output pressure of positive-displacement pump was shown.

Influence of oil and emulsion HFA-E on flow characteristics in gaps in hydraulics satellite motors. In article theoretical analysis of phenomena during flow of oil and oil in water emulsion type HFA-E in gaps in hydraulics satellite motors have been presented. Results of laboratory research of this flow have been presented too.

Methods of determination of flow rate characteristics of pneumatic elements. In this paper direct and indirect methods for measuring flow rate characteristics of pneumatic elements were presented. Experimental setups for some methods and numerical procedures of determination of flow rate characteristics for different heat transfer conditions were described.
