About the Book
Hydraulic cylinders are simple, low-cost, easy-to-install devices that generate powerful linear movements. Manufacturers are developing cylinders with innovative features to make them more reliable, efficient, and safe. The latest industrial hydraulic cylinders can incorporate sensor feedback and electro-hydraulic servo valves for sophisticated speed and position control of the associated loads.
The book provides a comprehensive guide on hydraulic cylinders, including their principal parts, body styles, classifications, types, and standards. It also discusses the issues of side loads and rod buckling that may arise in hydraulic cylinders. Another chapter focuses on using position transducers for hydraulic cylinders, while another explains these cylinders’ installation, maintenance, and safety aspects. Additionally, the book highlights the advantages and applications of hydraulic cylinders and the design and manufacturing process involved in their production.
The book attempts to present the essential technical information related to hydraulic cylinders in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. The topics are logically arranged to progress from simple to sophisticated levels of the subject matter. The book uses the SI system of units.
