About the Book
The book, ‘Practical Book: Pneumatics-Basic Level,’ contains a set of practical exercises that assist in organizing practical training involving only single actuator systems. These exercises are intended to strengthen the theoretical understanding and enhance the technical competence of the trainees undergoing a basic pneumatic course.
The theoretical descriptions of individual components for carrying out the exercises are covered in the textbooks ‘Pneumatic Systems and Circuits—Basic Level in the SI Units’ and ‘Industrial Pneumatics—Basic Level in the English Units’ by the same author.
