A fluid power professional should possess exceptional knowledge about the maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety aspects of hydraulic systems for his/her continuing professional development and career advancement. A faculty or a student in an engineering institution must acquire the knowledge of the maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety aspects of hydraulic systems to upgrade his/her knowledge. As the knowledge and skill of the reader improve, professional life is undoubtedly going to be more outstanding and comfortable.The book explains all aspects of maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety features of hydraulic systems, systematically to make this book more useful on the shop floor. The language of the book is simple, the topics are logically arranged, and information is most up-to-date.The book has been written by a professional trainer who has vast experience in the fluid power area and trained thousands of professionals and students, over 25 years. If you are looking for a more in-depth knowledge into fluid power, then this book is a valuable resource that will assist you in your quest for professional development.
It is a learning package for students or professionals who are looking to build their fluid power careers. The package includes a colored textbook, an interactive software-based tool to size hydraulic components, electronic files for the animated hydraulic circuits, and a colored workbook (separate price).
Industrial Hydraulic Systems provides an in-depth coverage of conventional hydraulic systems encompassing fixed-displacement pumps, control valves, and actuators as well as the most modern hydraulic systems encompassing highly efficient variable-displacement pumps, electro-hydraulic proportional valves and/or servo valves with integrated electronics. The coverage is further supplemented by many typical hydraulic and electro-hydraulic circuits. Details of different types of auxiliary devices such as reservoirs, filters, accumulators, and piping have also been described in this book. Topics on hydrostatic transmission, cartridge valves, load sensing pump controls, fluids, filters, and seals are given in detail. Design, installation, and maintenance aspects of hydraulic systems are added to make the book more useful to actual practitioners of these systems. Understanding the fundamental laws and principles allows the reader to use basic theoretical concepts in practical applications. The unique feature of this textbook is that all quantities are given in the SI system as well as in the English system of units. This book provides an extensive coverage of fluid power to designers, engineers, technicians, and students of engineering colleges, polytechnics, and vocational training institutes. This book, prepared especially with an academic interest in mind, contains a large number of numerical examples, design problems, and sections for 'Test your Knowledge' and end of chapter questions. This book is intended to provide the most current information available on hydraulic technology.
