About the Book
Hydrostatic transmissions (HSTs) occupy a distinct place in fluid power technology. They are widely used in agricultural tractors, on- and off-highway mobile equipment, and various self-propelled equipment. An HST provides an infinitely variable speed range between zero and maximum in both forward and reverse modes of operation without changing the prime mover speed. Moreover, manufacturers are bringing out smaller and lighter HSTs with improved performance and advanced electronic controls. These factors now make HSTs a cost-effective choice for many applications.
This book presents the principles of hydrostatic transmissions. It mainly describes the concepts of open-circuit and closed-circuit HSTs. Additionally, it provides specifications and design aspects of HSTs. The book uses the English system of units.
