Features: This book includes two parts: pneumatic technology and hydraulic transmission technology, totaling 17 chapters. Chapters 1–7 cover the fundamentals of pneumatic application technology, Chapter 8 introduces hydraulic-pneumatic graphical standards specifically, and Chapters 9–10 focus on pneumatic circuits and the design of pure pneumatic and electro-pneumatic systems. Chapters 11–17 cover hydraulic transmission and control. The book primarily discusses fundamental knowledge of fluid mechanics; the working principles, structural characteristics, and selection methods of hydraulic and pneumatic components; the composition and analysis of basic hydraulic and pneumatic circuits and typical systems; electro-pneumatic control of hydraulic and pneumatic systems; design methods for hydraulic and pneumatic circuits; and the application of programmable controllers. During the writing process, numerous industrial automation production examples were referenced, making the content novel and easy to understand. The material begins with low-pressure pneumatic technology, introducing basic knowledge of fluid power applications. Through Chapter 8's hydraulic-pneumatic graphical standards, the intrinsic connection between pneumatic and hydraulic technologies is established. By comparing relay-contact control systems with programmable control systems, the link between fluid power transmission and electrical control is established. The book is equipped with a large number of industrial application illustrations, which are beneficial for students' self-study.
