Assuming only the most basic knowledge of the physics of fluids, this book aims to equip the reader with a sound understanding of fluid power systems and their uses in practical engineering. In line with the strongly practical bias of the book, maintenance and trouble-shooting are covered, with particular emphasis on safety systems and regulations.

Hydraulics and Pneumatics: A Technician's and Engineer's Guide provides an introduction to the components and operation of a hydraulic or pneumatic system. This book discusses the main advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic or hydraulic systems. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of industrial prime movers. This text then examines the three different types of positive displacement pump used in hydraulic systems, namely, gear pumps, vane pumps, and piston pumps. Other chapters consider the pressure in a hydraulic system, which can be quickly and easily controlled by devices such as unloading and pressure regulating valves. This book discusses as well the importance of control valves in pneumatic and hydraulic systems to regulate and direct the flow of fluid from compressor or pump to the various load devices. The final chapter deals with the safe-working practices of the systems. This book is a valuable resource for process control engineers.

This introductory textbook is designed for undergraduate courses in Hydraulics and Pneumatics/Fluid Power/Oil Hydraulics taught in Mechanical, Industrial and Mechatronics branches of Engineering disciplines. Besides focusing on the fundamentals, the book is a basic, practical guide that reflects field practices in design, operation and maintenance of fluid power systems—making it a useful reference for practising engineers specializing in the area of fluid power technology. With the trends in industrial production, fluid power components have also undergone modifications in designs. To keep up with these changes, additional information and materials on proportional solenoids have been included in the second edition. It also updates drawings/circuits in the pneumatic section. Besides, the second edition includes a CD-ROM that acquaints the readers with the engineering specifications of several pumps and valves being manufactured by industry. KEY FEATURES : • Gives step-by-step methods of designing hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. • Provides simple and logical explanation of programmable logic controllers used in hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. • Explains applications of hydraulic circuits in machine tool industry. • Elaborates on practical problems in a chapter on troubleshooting. • Chapter-end review questions help students understand the fundamental principles and practical techniques for obtaining solutions.

A wide range of college courses including Advanced GNVQ, HNC/D and City & Guilds certificates demand a knowledge of pneumatics in relation to control systems. Students studying PLCs, for instance, may not have the background in pneumatics needed to put their knowledge to work in practical applications. This book has been written to cover these courses, and in particular the Advanced GNVQ unit in Hydraulics and Pneumatics. It is also suitable for first year degree modules, and will provide a useful grounding in the subject for any engineer requiring an understanding of pneumatic and hydraulic control systems. Bill Bolton has written this book as an introduction to the basic principles of pneumatics and hydraulics, system components and their application in control systems, the main emphasis being on pneumatics. The text is designed for students and is ideal for courses with an element of independent study, with numerous worked examples and problems (answers supplied) provided throughout the book. A genuine textbook in a field dominated by professional books Ideal for first year degree modules Full coverage of Advanced GNVQ Unit: Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Fluid Power Circuits and Controls: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition, is designed for a first course in fluid power for undergraduate engineering students. After an introduction to the design and function of components, students apply what they’ve learned and consider how the component operating characteristics interact with the rest of the circuit. The Second Edition offers many new worked examples and additional exercises and problems in each chapter. Half of these new problems involve the basic analysis of specific elements, and the rest are design-oriented, emphasizing the analysis of system performance. The envisioned course does not require a controls course as a prerequisite; however, it does lay a foundation for understanding the extraordinary productivity and accuracy that can be achieved when control engineers and fluid power engineers work as a team on a fluid power design problem. A complete solutions manual is available for qualified adopting instructors.

This book reports on cutting-edge research and technical achievements in the field of hydraulic drives. The chapters, selected from contributions presented at the International Scientific-Technical Conference on Hydraulic and Pneumatic Drives and Controls, NSHP 2020, held on October 21-23, 2020, in Trzebieszowice, Poland, cover a wide range of topics such as theoretical advances in fluid technology, work machines in mining, construction, marine and manufacturing industry, and practical issues relating to the application and operation of hydraulic drives. Further topics include: safety and environmental issues associated with the use of machines with hydraulic drive, and new materials in design of hydraulic components. A special emphasis is given to new solutions for hydraulic components and systems as well as to the identification of phenomena and processes occurring during the operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Pneumatic power is ideal for the ever increasing range of 'light' applications in which a cheap, clean, adaptable source of power is needed. Used in conjunction with microprocessor control it forms the basis of manufacturing automation from basic conveying and handling lines to complex robotic assembly systems. Training courses and books aimed at the technician have not kept pace with these developments. This book is written to cover the British Fluid Power Association Pneumatics Certificate, which is also awarded as part of CGLI scheme 2340, and is in the process of NVQ accreditation at level 3. 'Practical Pneumatics' provides a clear and detailed discussion of pneumatic technology by tackling the principles of pneumatic components and the behaviour of air under compression, during treatment and in applications to production processes. The non-mathematical approach, the numerous detailed diagrams and the many exercises and examples explain concepts clearly and concisely and provide students with a foundation from which to develop practical competence.

This fascinating branch of engineering is a practical application oriented topic. Many universities/colleges and vocational training institutes have included this subject in their programs. This book attempts to present this subject in a simple manner so that even others who have not enrolled in any formal program can study and understand the concept and its applications. Each chapter structured to begin with the learning objectives and at the end a brief ‘points to recall’ for the learners to assimilate their own understanding /recapitulation. The book starts with the concepts of (oil) hydraulics. Then, the hydraulic elements, their functions and applications are introduced. Building hydraulic circuits using these elements is explained clearly in the chapters that follow. The book also contains number of circuits for different industrial applications- how to read and understand them.
