Fundamentals of Fluid Power Control

This Exciting 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.
