Comprehensive Hydraulics Manuals for Industrial and Mobile Markets Serve as User-Friendly Tools for Universities, Technical Colleges and Fluid Power Companies
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. ... Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation will release the latest edition of its Industrial Hydraulics Manual January 15, on the heels of last year's Mobile Hydraulics Manual. Developed by industry experts within Eaton's Fluid Power Training group, both manuals provide fluid power instruction for universities, technical colleges and companies that work with fluid power.
The Industrial Hydraulics Manual is a color-illustrated hardbound textbook with more than 600 pages of information. It covers a range of topics related to hydraulics and electrohydraulics, including basic hydraulics principles, electricity and electronics, amplifiers, cartridge valves and circuits. The appendices of the manual feature commonly used formulae, conversion charts and on-the-job reference tools, such as tables and illustrations. The Industrial Hydraulics Manual also includes a chapter focused on the operation of industrial hydraulic circuits and injection molding systems. The Industrial Hydraulics Manual in Spanish and Answer Book accompany the new edition as supplements.
"These manuals are well-written and should be very easy for instructors and students to use," said Bruce Garlick, technical instructor, Eaton Fluid Power Training. "They provide a broad cross-section of all levels of industrial product applications and are designed to help increase professional development and educational programs for students."
Released in May 2006, the newest edition of the Mobile Hydraulics Manual has more than 500 pages and 475 illustrations. It covers the major aspects of mobile hydraulics and theory, including the basic hydraulic theory, basic electrical theory, hydrostatic transmissions, steering, and fixed and variable displacement pumps.
Both manuals have questions at the end of each chapter, answer books and a PowerPoint(R) presentation available for instructors.
