Einführung in die Ölhydraulik

The textbook conveys the relevant physical fundamentals as well as comprehensive basic knowledge about all important hydraulic components and their applications. Oil hydraulics has developed into a technical cross-sectional discipline and pillar of mechatronics, particularly for mobile applications, but also for stationary systems, with an increasing amount of sensors and electronics. After a thorough presentation of the components and accessories, basic circuit diagrams, controls, and regulations follow, along with planning and calculation fundamentals, including loss behavior, dynamics, acoustics, and thermodynamics. Described applications (with circuit diagrams) include, for example, hydrostatic transmissions (also with power splitting), ABS, hydro-pneumatic suspension, load sensing, hydraulic steering, as well as complete systems in construction and agricultural machinery, municipal vehicles, airplanes, large presses, and more. This edition has been completely revised and supplemented with colored illustrations – featuring additional detailed systems for energy savings and updated calculation examples.

The scientifically grounded content, which is continuously updated from a practical perspective, the special didactic quality of the texts, the carefully created, memorable drawings, and the overall appealing factual, now multi-colored layout characterize this book more than ever as a proven standard textbook on hydraulics.
