I'd also like some good links or recomended texts on Hydraulics as I'm
starting to 'play' with them. First project will be a press. I have a
powerpack (AC 5Hp) already but I don't want to 'screw it up'
I have found and understand the basic theories, but could anyone
suggest a good place to get a glossary or explanaition of terms like
spools, 2 3 4 way valves etc.


We used both Industrial Hydraulic Technology by Parker and
Industrial Hydraulics Manual by Vickers in a hydraulics class I
recently took. Both books cover basic hydraulics and include
color drawings indicating pressures in a variety of circuits.
The Vickers book has an additional chapter on basic electricity
and electronics.
