Hydraulic Fluid Power


Book Description

HYDRAULIC FLUID POWER LEARN MORE ABOUT HYDRAULIC TECHNOLOGY IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS DESIGN WITH THIS COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE Hydraulic Fluid Power provides readers with an original approach to hydraulic technology education that focuses on the design of complete hydraulic systems. Accomplished authors and researchers Andrea Vacca and Germano Franzoni begin by describing the foundational principles of hydraulics and the basic physical components of hydraulics systems. They go on to walk readers through the most practical and useful system concepts for controlling hydraulic functions in modern, state-of-the-art systems. Written in an approachable and accessible style, the book’s concepts are classified, analyzed, presented, and compared on a system level. The book also provides readers with the basic and advanced tools required to understand how hydraulic circuit design affects the operation of the equipment in which it’s found, focusing on the energy performance and control features of each design architecture. Readers will also learn how to choose the best design solution for any application. Readers of Hydraulic Fluid Power will benefit from: Approaching hydraulic fluid power concepts from an “outside-in” perspective, emphasizing a problem-solving orientation Abundant numerical examples and end-of-chapter problems designed to aid the reader in learning and retaining the material A balance between academic and practical content derived from the authors’ experience in both academia and industry Strong coverage of the fundamentals of hydraulic systems, including the equations and properties of hydraulic fluids Hydraulic Fluid Power is perfect for undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical, agricultural, and aerospace engineering, as well as engineers designing hydraulic components, mobile machineries, or industrial systems.




Fluid Power


Book Description

Fluid Power: Hydraulics and Pneumaticsis a teaching package aimed at students pursuing a technician-level career path. It teaches the fundamentals of fluid power and provides details on the design and operation of hydraulic and pneumatic components, circuits, and systems. Extensive coverage is provided for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This book does not contain engineering calculations that will confuse students. Instead, it applies math skills to the formulas needed by the technician-level student. · Full-color illustrations throughout the text. · Each chapter includes detailed Internet resources related to the chapter topics to allow further exploration. · Laboratory manual contains activities correlated to the chapter topic, and chapter quizzes to measure student knowledge. Bundled with the textbook is the student version of FluidSIM® Hydraulics simulation software. This popular software from Festo Didactic allows circuits to be designed and simulated on the computer. The software can be used to provide additional activities of your own design.







Fluid Power Design Handbook


Book Description

Maintaining and enhancing the high standards and excellent features that made the previous editions so popular, this book presents engineering and application information to incorporate, control, predict, and measure the performance of all fluid power components in hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Detailing developments in the ongoing "electronic re




Basic Hydraulics


Book Description

Basic Hydraulics was developed to instruct people who want to troubleshoot hydraulic machinery and hydraulic circuits. The book's material assumes no prior knowledge of hydraulics and could be used by anyone who has an interest in this particular area of fluid power. It does not cover the rebuilding of hydraulic components. In order to firmly plant the concepts of what is going on in hydraulics, this information has an orientation to a "hands-on" approach. The text uses some generalizations and other approximations and is directed at the hourly worker on the factory floor or out in the field. The test bank is available electronically on a CD or via email. Please contact Beth Hall at [email protected] to request a copy.




Fluid Power Dynamics


Book Description

Fluid Power Dynamics is a 12-chapter book in two sections covering the basics of fluid power through hydraulic system components and troubleshooting. The second section covers pneumatics from basics through to troubleshooting. This is the latest book in a new series published by Butterworth-Heinemann in association with PLANT ENGINEERING magazine. PLANT ENGINEERING fills a unique information need for the men and women who operate and maintain industrial plants: It bridges the information gap between engineering education and practical application. As technology advances at increasingly faster rates, this information service is becoming more and more important. Since its first issue in 1947, PLANT ENGINEERING has stood as the leading problem-solving information source for America's industrial plant engineers, and this book series will effectively contribute to that resource and reputation.

Hydraulic Fluids


Book Description

* Reviews the development of modern hydraulic fluids* Discusses the application and selection of hydraulic fluids through the investigation of their physical and chemical properties related to the operational requirements.* Offers guidance on suitable maintenance routinesSince the first use of water as a hydraulic medium in the late 18th century, hydraulics has become an indispensable discipline of engineering science. Enormous technological advances have been made in the intervening years, but this has not been reflected in the available literature on the numerous fluids involved. Based on 40 years of experience with Shell in Norway, this reference text brings together a comprehensive coverage of the behaviour and selection of hydraulic fluids. It includes a full analysis of recent advances in synthetic oils - media which will inevitably become more dominant as natural products become more scarce.Hydraulic Fluids provides an overview that both students and professionals involved with hydraulics, whether concerned with the mechanical components or system design or selection and maintenance of the fluids themselves, will refer to again and again as it provides relevant information on all the major hydraulic fluids in a single volume.
