Fluid power technology is expanding and as fascinating as ever. Fluid power systems provide the muscle power to run the machines with the smoothest control possibilities. Many professionals are designing, constructing, and maintaining pneumatic and hydraulic systems every day. Several budding engineers are initiated into the technology of fluid power now and then. Therefore, the spread of technological information on fluid power is essential for the advancement of fluid power technology.

Objective

The textbooks are written to spread the knowledge of pneumatics and hydraulics. The language of these books is simple, the topics in each book are logically arranged, and information is most up-to-date.

Why are these books important?

A fluid power professional should possess exceptional knowledge about fluid powerfor his/her continuing professional development and career advancement. A faculty or a student in an engineering institution must acquire the knowledge of fluid powerto upgrade his/her knowledge. As the knowledge and skill of the reader improve, professional life is undoubtedly going to be more outstanding and comfortable.

Circuits for Closed-circuit Hydro-static Transmissions (HSTs)

In a closed-circuit hydrostatic transmission (HST) system, a hydraulic pump drives a hydraulic motor. In the closed-circuit HST system, the fluid discharged from the hydraulic motor outlet flows directly to the pump inlet, thus forming a power transmission loop. The transmission loop has a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side. The pressure on the high-pressure […]

Textbook – Hydraulic Circuits -Identification of Components and Analysis by Joji Parambath – Sample Pages

The textbook describes a wide range of hydraulic circuits. Most of the circuits are in multiple positions and with colors used for flow paths and current paths for easy learning. The book in paperback and hardcover versions is available in all Amazon marketplaces.

A Comparative Study of Pressure Control Valves

Pressure control valves are used in hydraulic systems for obtaining pressure-related regulation and control tasks. The control tasks include limiting the maximum operating pressure in a hydraulic system, reducing the pressure in a part of a hydraulic circuit, unloading pumps, establishing the sequence movements of actuators, counterbalancing overrunning loads, and braking hydraulic motors while running […]

Pneumatic Stepper Sequencer – Design and Operating Principles

A multi-actuator pneumatic system may use many logic functions in its associated controller for obtaining a sequence of work operations. The sequential steps can easily be realized in a modular fashion using step modules. A step module is a unit designed as per the functional requirements of each step of the control sequence. As you […]

Manufacturing Process of Hydraulic Cylinders – Salient Points

Hydraulic cylinders are used in many types of machines and systems for industrial and mobile applications. The manufacturing process of cylinders mainly involves the following steps: design, heat treatment, machining, coating, assembly, and testing.
