Oil Hydraulic Systems: Principles and Maintenance

A hydraulic system transmits force from one point to another using an incompressible fluid. The fluid is almost always oil and the force is almost always multiplied in the process. Nowadays, it is very easy to add force multiplication (or division) to the system.

Hydraulic systems are extensively used in machine tools, material devices, transport and other mobile equipment. Written for design engineers and maintenance personnel Oil Hydraulic Systems: Principles and Maintenanceprovides the necessary tools for installation, operation and maintenance of hydraulic equipment. The book touches on such subjects as: hydraulic system maintenance, repair and reconditioning, seals and packing, hydraulic pipes, hoses and fitting, design of hydraulic circuits.

INSTALL, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT AS EFFICIENTLY AND COST-EFFECTIVLY AS POSSIBLE

Here in a single definitive volume is everything you need to understand the fundamental operating principles of as well as the latest maintenance, repair, and reconditioning techniques for industrial oil hydraulic systems.

Written by an expert with more than twenty-five years’ teaching experience, this comprehensive resource provides clearly written, authoritative coverage of:
* System design principles
* The basic components of hydraulic systems, including pipes, pumps, strainers, oil reservoir filters, pressure gauges, relief valves, and gear boxes
* Compatibility issues
* Methods to reduce heat generation and dissipation to optimize thermal stability
* Operational and constructional features of fluid power components, illustrated via sketches and circuit diagrams
* Maintenance and troubleshooting techniques
* Seals and packing

Invaluable to design engineers, maintenance personnel, and aeronautical engineers, Oil Hydraulic Systems sets a standing of excellence unmatched by any other book on the topic.
