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.

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.

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: 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.

Featuring easy-to-understand explanations of theory and underlying mathematics principles, this book provides readers with a complete introduction to fluid power, including hydraulics and pneumatics. The differences and similarities between hydraulics and pneumatics are identified, allowing readers to leverage their knowledge en route to new skills. Detailed color illustrations, photographs, and color-enhanced schematics are used effectively to add clarity to discussion of the construction and function of components. A dedicated section on component specifications is featured in each chapter, while realistic numbers are used and problems are stated in such a way as to develop practical system design skills. Knowledge of college-level algebra is assumed, but no trigonometry or calculus is required, making this book ideal for the technologist. Nomenclature, metric prefixes and conversion factors, equations, and graphic symbols are located in handy appendices for use by readers as they progress through the book. An introduction to the industry, plus a comprehensive glossary, is also included for the benefit of those who are just beginning their study of fluid power.

Fluid power now a day’s becoming more popular and acceptable with improvements in various processes due to automation. Branches of fluid power Hydraulic & Pneumatic are gaining more importance in academic as well ass industry. Every diploma engineer must have basic knowledge abut different components of Hydraulic & Pneumatic with their construction working so they must be able to design simple systems as well as carry out maintenance of system. This book based on whole to part approach includes introduction to general layouts of Hydraulic & Pneumatic and then covering each components in detail. Mathematical part is purposefully avoided as it focuses mainly on working and intended for diploma students. Language of description is kept simple and only relevant information has been included. Main contents are Introduction to Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems, Pumps and Actuators, Control Valves, Compressor, pneumatic components and accessories in fluid system, Oil hydraulic circuits and Pneumatic Circuits. Last part includes Hydro pneumatic applications, Simple Electro circuits, Remedies and fault detection in Pneumatic circuit Maintenance of Hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Figure/sketches are provided with simple layout so that construction and working can be easily understood. I recommend this book as a text book for course Industrial fluid power or Industrial Hydraulics and Pneumatics mainly included in curriculum of Diploma in Mechanical, Automobile, production Engineering. Technical specifications of components such as pump, compressor, and valves are also mentioned in description like working pressure range, flow rate. It covers almost all the basic components used in fluid power system.

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.
