The field of industrial hydraulics is vast and represents a mechanical engineering specialty that is very often misunderstood. The purpose of this manual is to provide the information needed to train hydraulics technicians at the college level. The approach is specific to the technique, while exploring different facets of engineering, which is more theoretical.
This manual concentrates mainly on the hydraulics of stationary equipment, although an introduction to mobile equipment components is also covered. A distinctive feature of this manual is the chapter-by-chapter presentation of the different types of components making up a hydraulic system and their representations. References are made to various manufacturers, providing a comprehensive overview of the field.
As a technician's training manual, it covers the concepts of pressure drop, which provide a good understanding of circuit behavior, as well as component selection. Attention is paid to the different mounting technologies, whether in-line, sandwich or in machined blocks as required. The manual also presents the different types of hydraulic fittings used in the industry for assembly to American and European standards.
A chapter is devoted to proportional hydraulics and the sizing of components to achieve a satisfactory control signal. Oscillatory and vertical movements are of particular concern, and solutions are presented to help you make informed choices.
Marc Julien, Eng. is a professor in the Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Maintenance Techniques Department at CÉGEP du Vieux Montréal. He obtained his degree in mechanical engineering from the Université de Sherbrooke in 1991, and then began his career in the private sector in the mechanical design of industrial equipment. The equipment manufactured by his employers uses various cutting-edge technologies (including hydraulics, of course) and is exported mainly to the United States and Europe. In 2009, he became a professor at CÉGEP du Vieux Montréal, specializing in mechanical design and hydraulics. He keeps in touch with the private sector through his close contacts. As an author, he has previously written two technical manuals related to performance automobiles: «Performance à 4 temps» and «Tenue de Performance».
