Designers' Handbook for Electrohydraulic Servo and Proportional Systems

This comprehensive reference book contains hundreds of figures and formulas that will instruct and aid the reader in the application of electrohydraulic technology to design of hydraulic systems. 20 chapters deal with basics of hydraulic circuit analysis, valve characteristics and performance, pump and motor modelling, optimal system sizing, hydromechanical resonance, frequency response, closed loop positioning systems, motion control methods and common electronic interfaces and signal conditioners. Principles are driven home through scores of fully worked example problems rather than arcane theoretical discourse.
