Hydraulic Motors (In the SI Units) by Joji Parambath

About the Book

Rotary actuators are the muscle behind the rotary motions in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. Information and data on hydraulic motors are scattered in many textbooks and documents in the manufacturer’s domain. This modest attempt is made to present the information and data in one book in simple language and a structured way.

The book outlines the fundamentals and other essential technical information about hydraulic motors. The topics are logically arranged to progress from simple to complex levels of the subject matter. The book uses the SI system of units.
