This work draws the link between service knowledge and the advanced theory offluid power. Providing the fundamental knowledge on how a typical hydraulic system generates, delivers, and deploys fluid power, "Basics of Hydraulic Systems" highlights the key configuration features of the components that are needed to support their functionality in a system, such as operating principles, structural features, functionalities, and applications of core composing elements. It also shows how those components work together to perform the designated power transmission task. It moves from a system to instructional components approach.By presenting the ins and outs of hydraulic systems in an easy-to-follow way, this example-filled textbook provides students, engineers, and technical managers an effective nuts-and-bolts reference for studying the fundamentalsof fluid power transmission technology. Rather than bogging readers down withextensive mathematical equations, this resource uses a visual, expressive approach with many graphic illustrations. It also includes examples and problems within each chapter and a solutions manual for qualifying course adoptions. The text includes a section devoted to hydraulic energy storage and regenerationelements, since both play an important role in many hybrid power transmissionsystems, such as diesel-hydraulic hybrid vehicles. As a hydraulics expert andholder of seven US patents, the author's experience gives readers a practicalview of the field that they can then immediately apply. INDICE: Introduction to Fluid Power. Hydraulic Power Generation. HydraulicPower Distribution. Hydraulic Power Deployment. Hydraulic Power Storage and Regeneration. Auxiliary Components For Hydraulic Power Systems. Hydraulic System Circuits.
