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.

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.

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 prerequisite for designing pneumatic systems is the knowledge of the functions, parameters, and specifications of the components needed for the power part, control part, and compressed air network of the system. At first, a preliminary design should be attempted as per the requirement specifications. The initial design must then be refined if required. The parameters of the system must synchronize with the data in the manufacturer's domain for the optimal design. Further, it is essential to incorporate inbuilt safety into the system. The book explains the design aspects of pneumatic systems to realize the necessities as mentioned above. The book also presents many typical examples of designing pneumatic systems, in the English units, purely for educational or guidance purpose. The knowledge gained may be applied to develop more extensive industrial pneumatic systems.
