Centre for Power Transmission & Motion Control

We run CPD courses, symposia, and offer consultancy services in fluid power, actuation, and the dynamics and control of electro-mechanical systems.

FPMC: Bath/ASME Symposium on Fluid Power and Motion Control

Every year, we co-run an international conference with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Running since 1988, this leading symposium explores the field of fluid power and motion control of mechatronic systems.


Services for industry

We work with industry on knowledge exchange, consultancy projects and through running courses for industrial engineers. We cover areas of systems modelling and design including control engineering, with access to our experimental facilities and software.


About us

The Centre for Power Transmission and Motion Control (PTMC) was founded as the Fluid Power Centre in 1968. Our scope has grown beyond the original fluid power field to include electro-magnetic and piezoelectric systems and other technologies related to automotive and aerospace engineering. We have a world-leading reputation as a centre of excellence in fluid power, actuation, and the dynamics and control of electro-mechanical systems.
