This exciting new reference text is concerned with fluid power control. It is an ideal reference for the practising engineer and a textbook for advanced courses in fluid power control. In applications in which large forces and/or torques are required, often with a fast response time, oil-hydraulic control systems are essential. They excel in environmentally difficult applications because the drive part can be designed with no electrical components and they almost always have a more competitive power/weight ratio compared to electrically actuated systems. Fluid power systems have the capability to control several parameters, such as pressure, speed, position, and so on, to a high degree of accuracy at high power levels. In practice there are many exciting challenges facing the fluid power engineer, who now must preferably have a broad skill set. INDICE: 1. Introduction, applications and basic concepts; 2. An introduction to fluid properties; 3. Steady state characteristics of circuit components; 4. Steady state performance of drive systems; 5. System dynamics; 6. Control systems; 7. Some case studies.
