Fluid power systems play a vital role in industrial machinery, manufacturing equipment, mobile hydraulics, construction machinery, and automated production systems. Understanding how these systems operate requires knowledge of hydraulic principles, system components, pressure and flow control, circuit design, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Fluid Power Engineering Handbook provides a practical introduction to the principles and components used in fluid power engineering, with an emphasis on hydraulic systems and their industrial applications. It helps readers understand how hydraulic components work together to transmit power, control movement, and perform demanding mechanical tasks.
Inside this handbook, you will explore:
. Fundamentals of fluid power engineering and hydraulic principles
. Pressure, flow, force, and power relationships in hydraulic systems
. Hydraulic fluids, reservoirs, filters, and fluid conditioning
. Hydraulic pumps, motors, cylinders, and actuators
. Directional, pressure, and flow-control valves
. Hydraulic symbols and circuit diagram interpretation
. Basic hydraulic circuit design and component selection
. Pumps, actuators, and valves working together in practical systems
. Pressure regulation, flow adjustment, and directional control
. Hydraulic power units and supporting equipment
. Accumulators, hoses, fittings, pipes, and connections
. Hydraulic system efficiency and energy losses
. Introduction to pneumatic systems and their relationship to fluid power
. Electrohydraulic controls and automation applications
. Preventive maintenance and hydraulic fluid management
. Identifying leaks, contamination, pressure loss, and overheating
. Troubleshooting common hydraulic system problems
. Safety considerations when working with pressurized equipment
. Practical applications in manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and industrial machinery
The book connects fundamental engineering concepts with the components and operating principles found in real-world fluid power equipment. It helps readers develop a clearer understanding of how hydraulic circuits are constructed, how control components influence system behavior, and how maintenance practices contribute to dependable operation.
Whether you are studying mechanical engineering, learning industrial hydraulics, maintaining hydraulic machinery, or developing your technical skills, this handbook provides a useful foundation for understanding fluid power systems and their practical applications.
Who Can Benefit from This Book?
. Mechanical engineering students
. Fluid power and hydraulics students
. Hydraulic technicians and service personnel
. Industrial maintenance technicians
. Mechanical and manufacturing engineers
. Industrial automation professionals
. Construction and mobile-equipment technicians
. Maintenance engineers and equipment operators
. Engineering apprentices and technical trainees
. Professionals seeking a practical hydraulic systems reference
Build your understanding of hydraulic components, strengthen your knowledge of fluid power circuits, and develop a practical foundation for working with the systems that power modern industrial and mobile machinery.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
