Industrial Hydraulic Control by Peter Rohner

This is not simply another book covering basic hydraulic theory and concepts. Peter Rohner, a University professor with over 30 years of teaching experience, is a successful fluid power lecturer and author. Although titled Industrial Hydraulic Control, the information it contains is just as relevant to mobile hydraulics. Topics such as slip-in cartridge valves (logic elements), variable pump controls, proportional and servo control and PLCs are just as relevant to mobile hydraulics as they are to industrial hydraulics. Now in its 4th Edition, and with over 13,000 copies in print, Industrial Hydraulic Control is a comprehensive guide to understanding the complexities of hydraulic circuits and components.

Pneumatic Control for Industrial Automation by Peter Rohner

This book effectively tackles the complex subject of pneumatics, by explaining the underlying operating principles and function of components and systems — for all levels of understanding: design, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Now in its 2nd (Revised), it explains what you need to know about pneumatics, from the basics up. For example:

* What is the minimum recommended filtration level for pneumatic equipment?
* What is the correct viscosity oil for pneumatic lubricators?
* What are the recommended oil feed rates?

Insider Secrets to Hydraulics by Brendan Casey

More than 70% of spare parts sold for hydraulic plant and machinery are used to replace defective components. The cause of 90% of these defects can be traced to improper operation or maintenance. These alarming statistics suggest that inadequate maintenance practices are costing hydraulic equipment users billions of dollars every year. If you'd like to avoid this situation and learn how to reduce the operating cost and increase the uptime of hydraulic equipment, this book is for you. It not only covers preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, and procurement, but it also exposes a multitude of unethical industry practices that increase MRO costs.
