Description: Fluid power systems technology has been with us for many years and it is a form of
technology which is likely to remain with us for the foreseeable future. However, like all
technology there have been dramatic changes over the years, most notably in the materials
used in the construction of pneumatic and hydraulic components, the arrangement of
circuits and the speed and reliability of operation of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
This text is based upon a series of training modules developed for short courses in
Basic Pneumatics and Air Logic which have been delivered over recent years as incompany
training material to a number of end user organisations over a diverse range of
industries, from petro-chemicals to automobile manufacture to food processing.
Whilst initially the training material was developed for short course delivery it has now
been expanded to cater for formal qualification programmes and modules in Engineering as
offered by a number of training providers. In this respect the text is now suitable for relevant
City & Guilds and BTEC modules/programmes of study in colleges of FE and HE whilst at
the same time catering for the updating needs of practising engineers. The book is also
designed to cater for students engaged upon N/SVQ and GN/SVQ programmes of study in
Engineering by adequately covering the unit range for fluid power in both mandatory and
optional units.
The material has been presented in a practical, readable format and is well illustrated
with diagrams of components and circuits as used in everyday pneumatic and hydraulic
applications. It is the ideal text to supplement both work and college based study of this
important area of technology.
