Mobile machines are extensively relied on hydraulic power because of the high-power density of hydraulic actuators that aren’t reached by other actuators so far. However, for the sake of saving energy, reducing emission, and improving machines’ performance, hybrid and electrification concepts are considered in mobile machine designs.
This book targets industry professionals who are in charge for operating, maintaining, and designing mobile machines. The book has twenty chapters. The first four chapters cover conceptually the systems that are commonly found on all mobile machines such as hydrostatic transmission, control blocks, steering systems, fan drive systems, hybrid systems, and mobile machine electrification.
In the rest of the chapters, the book presents sixteen different categories of mobile machines such as excavators & shovels, loaders, dozers, graders, road construction machines, aerial work platforms, forklifts & telehandlers, cranes, mining equipment, municipal & hauling trucks, concrete pumps & mixers, tractors & AG machines, tunnel-boring machines, aerospace applications, marine and military applications, and railways applications. In each category of mobile machines, the book presents a brief introduction to equipment, hydraulic-driven functions, hydraulic circuit diagrams, and hybrid or electrified models, if found. Some of the presented systems are just generic, and the others are aided by examples from industry.
This book is colored and printed in the size of standard A4. The book is associated with a workbook that contains colored-printed power point slides. This book is the sixth in a series that the author plans to publish to offer complete and comprehensive teaching references for the fluid power industry. The book contains a total of fourteen chapters distributed over 250 pages with very demonstrative figures and tables. The contents of the book are brand non-biased and intends to introduce the latest technologies related to the subject of the book.
