: This book is approved and recommended by the Education Guidance Committee of Electromechanical Specialty in Higher Education Institutions across the country as a textbook for undergraduate students majoring in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation. It is listed as a key textbook under the former Ministry of Machine Industry during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period. The book consists of eight chapters: , two chapters on the basic theories of fluid power transmission; Chapter 3 on energy devices and auxiliary components; Chapters 4 and 5 on the operating principles, performance, and applications of hydraulic and pneumatic actuation and control components; Chapters 6 and 7 on the basic circuits and applications and analysis of typical systems for hydraulics and pneumatics; and Chapter 8 on the design steps and methods for hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The book's features include combining hydraulics and pneumatics in a single volume; emphasizing the connection between theory and practice with numerous examples; fully considering technological advancements by introducing new technologies (e.g., digital control and proportional control systems) and new structures (e.g., new-type cylinders and valve islands) in addition to explaining the basic principles of systems and components; and focusing on both knowledge transfer and ability development.
