Hydraulic fluids are subjected to various kinds of contamination (particles, water, air, compounds, and biological matters). Contaminants can affect the physical and chemical properties of fluids. If the contaminants are not monitored or controlled, the fluid is likely to be subjected to various kinds of failures. A complete range of 36 textbooks, in Paperback &... Continue Reading →
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a modern device that can be used to control the work process in a machine or an appliance. The operations involved in the work process are carried out by some kind of actuators such as electric motors, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic actuators, etc., which are in turn controlled by final...

Most of the practical pneumatic systems involve the use of multiple actuators (cylinders, semi-rotary actuators, etc) which when operating in specified sequences carry out the desired control tasks. Double-pilot directional control (DC) valves are used as final control elements to control the forward and return strokes of the actuators. Sensors are used for confirming the... Continue Reading →
In the electrical actuation of a hydraulic valve, the necessary actuating force is obtained electrically with the help of a solenoid. The off-centre core of the solenoid coil is pulled towards the centre of the coil when the electric current is passed through it. This discrete movement of the core is used to actuate the...

Hydraulic systems driven by servo valves provide highly accurate control over enormous forces. A servo valve system consists of a transducer, a servo amplifier, a servo valve, and an actuator with a connected load. It is a closed-loop system used for the precise control of the output (load) parameter, such as position, velocity, or force,... Continue Reading →
Cavitation is a harmful condition that occurs in the component like a pump or a valve of a hydraulic system when the existing space in the working component is not filled with the system fluid. It is the process of formation and collapse of vapor or air bubbles in the pumped fluid as it passes... Continue Reading →
A hydraulic accumulator mainly consists of a chamber in which a fluid is held under pressure by a spring or a raised weight or a volume of compressed gas (nitrogen). It is, thus, possible to store potential energy in the accumulator, when the associated system pressure is greater than that of the accumulator. A hydro-pneumatic... Continue Reading →

The use of fluid power is widespread in many stationary and mobile applications. Many of the operators, technicians, and engineers are not well-versed of the operational, maintenance, and safety aspects of fluid power. Therefore, a systematic training is essential for them to handle fluid power systems. The modern hydraulic technology can be used to make... Continue Reading →
Fluid power provides the muscle for various work operations involved in stationary as well as mobile applications. As we can see, the use of fluid power is widespread in many applications. Many of the operators, technicians, and engineers are ignorant of the operational, maintenance, and safety aspects of fluid power. Therefore, proper training is essential... Continue Reading →
