Hydraulic Systems Volume 2: Electro-Hydraulic Components and Systems

The book is a learning package for students and professionals who are looking to advance their fluidpower careers. The package includes colored textbook, electronic files for the animated hydrauliccircuits, and a colored workbook (separate price) that contains printed power point slides, chapterreviews and assignments. The book is the second in a series that the author plans to publish to offercomplete and comprehensive teaching and design tools for the fluid power industry. This book is anattempt to fill the gap between the very academic style of fluid power books and the verycommercial style of books that are produced by fluid power manufacturers basically to promote theirproducts.The book presents constructional and operational qualitative analogies between electrical, hydraulicand electro-hydraulic systems. The book considers presenting real-life examples for various types ofelectro-hydraulic valves. The book also covers the technicalities of in-field tuning of open-loop andclosed-loop electro-hydraulic systems. The book also presents guideline to select a valve for anapplication and how to read data sheet of a valve. The book covers the basic functions contained inthe electronic control units that drive EH valves such as gain adjustor, maximum current limiter, ramp generator, pulse width modulation, dead band eliminator, null adjustment, and current muchmore.The textbook is produced in letter size (8.5 x 11) inches, and weighs 3.5 lb.
