Basic Pneumatics

Product Description: This book is written clearly and concisely, with an added dose of humor. This easy-to-understand manual provides students with a working knowledge of how compressed air systems work. Instruction is provided in mechanical fundamentals, including how to read schematic prints, how to recognize the names of components and fittings, and the best ways to determine the probable causes and solutions of pneumatic problems. Assuming no prior knowledge of pneumatics, this teaching manual is designed with a "hand-on" approach so it can be easily absorbed by all students who have an interest in this type of fluid power. The book's focus is on individuals who will be working on the factory floor rather than junior engineers. In addition to its use as a classroom text, this book provides a valuable teaching aid for in-plant seminars for those who are already employed as machine operators and line mechanics.
