Synopsis

The primary purpose of this book is to provide an in-depth background in the field of fluid power, covering design, analysis, operation, and maintenance. This is a useful reference book to assist in the selection and troubleshooting of fluid power components and systems used in manufacturing operations. This book covers a broad range of topics in the field, including: physical properties of hydraulic fluids; energy and power in hydraulic systems; frictional losses in hydraulic pipelines; hydraulic pumps, cylinders, cushioning devices, motors, valves, circuit design, conductors and fittings; hydraulic system maintenance; pneumatic air preparation and its components; and electrical controls for fluid power systems. For fluid power engineers and technicians, facilities engineers and technicians, and manufacturing engineers and technicians.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This book places emphasis on understanding how fluid power systems operate and on their practical applications. A basic background in the field of fluid power is provided, allowing students to understand the design, analysis, operation, and maintenance of fluid power systems.

From the Back Cover:

Now in its sixth edition, Fluid Power with Applications continues to provide readers with an in-depth background in the field of fluid power. Emphasizing such subjects as design, analysis, operation, maintenance, and practical applications, this text not only provides the "why," but also the "how" of fluid power systems operations.

Features of the sixth edition include:

• All material on ancillary hydraulic devices has been combined into a new Chapter 11, resulting in more coherent and focused chapters on these and other major components.
• Example problems and end-of-chapter exercises have been updated to better reflect current industrial applications.
• A new section 8.6 includes coverage on proportional control valves.
• Derivations of key equations have been removed from various chapters and combined into a new Appendix I, allowing readers to better concentrate on applications without undue emphasis on mathematical analysis.
• Updated photos and illustrations reflect current fluid power technology.
