This is the second edition of the book which was published in 2002. Fluid power systems are manufactured by many organizations for a very wide range of applications, which often embody differing arrangements of components to fulfill a given task. Hydraulic components are manufactured to provide the control functions required for the operation of a wide range of systems and applications. This second edition of the book is structured so as to give an understanding of The basic types of components, their operational principles, and the estimation of their performance in a variety of applications. Component manufacturer diagrams are included to aid the understanding of the mechanical principles involved. This second edition has added a description of the digital control methods for independently operated valves for pumps and motors. A resume of the flow processes that occur in hydraulic components. • A review of the modeling process for the efficiency of pumps and motors. This second edition includes analysis for estimating the mechanical loss in a typical hydraulic motor. • The way in which circuits can be arranged using available components to provide a range of functional system outputs. This includes the analysis and design of closed-loop control systems and some applications.
