Hydraulic Circuits – Identification of Components and Analysis is a comprehensive engineering reference that systematically explains the operation of industrial and mobile hydraulic circuits used across a wide range of applications.
Unlike conventional textbooks that primarily explain individual hydraulic components, this book focuses on complete hydraulic circuits. Each circuit is presented using clear hydraulic symbols, multiple operating positions, and colour illustrations, enabling readers to understand the function of every component and the overall operation of the system.
Beginning with conventional hydraulic circuits, the book gradually progresses to electro-hydraulic systems, hydrostatic transmissions (HSTs), load-sensing systems, proportional and servo valve systems, PLC-controlled hydraulic circuits, cartridge valve systems, and numerous application-specific circuits. The structured chapter sequence allows readers to progress from simple circuits to highly sophisticated hydraulic systems with confidence.
Containing nearly every major category of industrial and mobile hydraulic circuit, this book serves as an invaluable reference for hydraulic designers, maintenance engineers, trainers, faculty members, and engineering students seeking to improve their circuit analysis skills.
