Fluid-power systems do far more than move cylinders. They convert energy, control force and motion, interact with electrical and software systems, store hazardous energy, generate heat and losses, and leave measurable evidence when performance begins to change.
Fluid Power Systems Handbook gives engineers, technicians, students, and maintenance professionals a practical system-level guide to understanding that complete chain.
Beginning with pressure, force, flow, work, power, efficiency, fluids, measurement, and schematic interpretation, Robert Samuel Chen develops the subject through hydraulic pumps, cylinders, motors, valves, accumulators, load control, circuit design, mobile hydraulics, hydrostatic drives, energy-efficient architectures, and proportional and servo control.
The coverage then extends beyond conventional hydraulics into compressed-air systems, pneumatic actuators and circuits, vacuum technology, electropneumatics, sensors, PLC interfaces, industrial networks, smart devices, dynamic modeling, simulation, digital twins, condition monitoring, commissioning, reliability, and evidence-based troubleshooting.
Inside you will learn how to:
- Calculate pressure, flow, force, speed, torque, power, efficiency, pressure loss, and actuator requirements
- Read hydraulic and pneumatic schematics by operating state instead of memorizing isolated symbols
- Select and evaluate pumps, valves, cylinders, motors, accumulators, filters, conductors, and compressed-air components
- Design and analyze load-control, sequencing, regeneration, mobile, hydrostatic, proportional, servo, and pneumatic circuits
- Connect fluid power with sensors, PLCs, electrical interfaces, IO-Link, industrial networks, and modern machine controls
- Use simulation, condition monitoring, digital-twin concepts, commissioning data, and lifecycle evidence responsibly
- Troubleshoot weak, slow, hot, unstable, leaking, drifting, or non-responsive systems through discriminating measurements rather than component swapping
Worked engineering examples, evidence activities, review questions, applied problems, selected solution guidance, field checklists, standards context, quick-reference appendices, glossary, and index make the handbook useful both for systematic study and day-to-day engineering reference.
Fluid Power Systems Handbook treats hydraulics and pneumatics as complete machines: energy source, fluid path, control state, actuator, load, measurement, safety, reliability, and evidence together.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
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
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
