KNYGA Karl Theodor Renius Fundamentals of Oil Hydraulics

This book provides the fundamentals for understanding and designing hydraulic systems, which remain crucial in many technical fields. Persistent innovations are often achieved through integration of power electronics and smart digital closed-loop controls. The book offers an easy-to-understand practical introduction, supported by scientific fundamentals, excellent graphics for all important components and numerous references. Relevant fluid mechanics and components, as well as a wide range of systems – from car jacks to aircraft hydraulics, from load sensing work hydraulics to modern power split vehicle drives – are explained in detail (strictly using ISO 1219-1 symbols). The book provides cross-sectional fundamentals and recommendations such as low-cost and energy-saving principles. In particular, it provides a wide range of recommendations for highly efficient hydrostatic vehicle transmissions.
