Industrial Hydraulic Control Handbook

By Harriet W Brown

Stop treating hydraulic systems like mysterious boxes-and start understanding exactly why they work, why they fail, and how to control them.The Industrial Hydraulic Control Handbook gives you a structured, practical foundation in modern fluid power, taking you from pressure, force, and flow fundamentals to complete circuit design, electrohydraulic control, PLC integration, maintenance, and systematic troubleshooting.
Whether you're studying industrial technology, maintaining machinery on the plant floor, designing hydraulic circuits, or strengthening your fluid power knowledge, this handbook helps you build the reasoning skills needed to understand the entire system-not simply memorize components.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Understand pressure, force, flow, viscosity, hydraulic power, and essential calculations
- Select and apply pumps, cylinders, motors, directional valves, and pressure and flow controls
- Read hydraulic schematics and ISO/ANSI symbols with greater confidence
- Design and size hydraulic circuits for practical industrial applications
- Understand proportional valves, servo hydraulics, sensors, PLCs, and electrohydraulic control
- Diagnose pressure, flow, contamination, overheating, cavitation, leakage, and component failures
- Apply preventive and predictive maintenance principles to improve reliability
- Work with accumulators, filtration, reservoirs, hoses, fittings, and fluid-conditioning systems
- Explore Industry 4.0, condition monitoring, electrification, and emerging smart-hydraulic technology
Built as both a progressive learning resource and an ongoing professional reference, the handbook combines explanations, worked calculations, schematic concepts, technical illustrations, quick-reference appendices, and troubleshooting guidance across more than 300 pages.Build a stronger command of industrial hydraulics-add the Industrial Hydraulic Control Handbook to your technical library today.
