Fluid Power: Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Fluid Power: Hydraulics and Pneumatics is a teaching package aimed at students pursuing a technician-level career path. It teaches the fundamentals of fluid power and provides details on the design and operation of hydraulic and pneumatic components, circuits, and systems. Extensive coverage is provided for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This book does not contain engineering calculations that will confuse students, rather applies math skills to the formulas needed by the technician-level student. This teaching package provides comprehensive exposure to the fluid power field.

Bundled with the textbook is the student version of FluidSIM??‚?‚?® Hydraulic simulation software. This popular software from Festo Learning Systems allows circuits to be designed and simulated on the computer. The software can be used to provide additional activities of your own design.
