Hydrostatic Transmissions and Actuators takes a pedagogical approach and begins with an overview of the subject, providing basic definitions and introducing fundamental concepts. Hydrostatic transmissions and hydrostatic actuators are then examined in more detail with coverage of pumps and motors, hydrostatic solutions to single-rod actuators, energy management and efficiency and dynamic response. Consideration is also given to current and emerging applications of hydrostatic transmissions and actuators in automobiles, mobile equipment, wind turbines, wave energy harvesting and airplanes. End of chapter exercises and real world industrial examples are included throughout and a companion website hosting a solution manual is also available.
Hydrostatic Transmissions and Actuators is an up to date and comprehensive textbook suitable for courses on fluid power systems and technology, and mechatronics systems design.

The need for transmitting mechanical power has always been present in many fields of engineering. Take, for example an automobile where power must be transferred either from the engine to the wheels or from the driver's foot to the wheels during braking. This book focuses on two specific power transfer situations: (a) transmission between two rotating shafts, and (b) transmission between a rotating shaft and a hydraulic actuator. The power-conveying medium, in both cases, is a hydraulic fluid.
This book has been written for undergraduate students but will also be useful to practical engineers and junior graduate students who need to have introductory knowledge on the subject of hydrostatic power transmissions and actuation. The pre-requisites for the reader are minimal; no more than a little knowledge about power hydraulics and a basic understanding of calculus and physics are necessary. The book has been constructed in such a way that students do not need to refer other sources of information to understand the text. Every effort has been made to derive most of the equations found in the text. Only a few of the many formulas found in the book do not have a formal development because of either the degree of complexity involved or their straightforward nature. To help solidifying the concepts, we have also included a list of exercises at the end of most chapters.
The book is organized in a way that caters to different audiences with varied backgrounds. For students who do not have a strong foundation in fluid power, this book is best read from cover to cover. On the other hand, a practical engineer who wants to learn how to calculate the efficiency of hydrostatic transmissions, can go straight to Chapters 3 and 4. However, we have made every attempt to follow a logical and progressive way of exposing the theme, having in mind the students who will read the book from the first chapter to the last chapter. In that sense, we have followed an approach whereby the reader obtains a complete overview of the subject matter in the first chapter. And then in subsequent chapters, details are provided so that when the reader arrives to the end of the book, he or she will have acquired a solid and concise knowledge of the exposed themes.
In terms of the subjects explored in each chapter, there is a clear division following the overall exposition given in Chapter 1. From Chapter 2 to Chapter 5, we focus on power transmissions between rotating shafts (hydrostatic transmissions). Chapters 6 and 7 concentrate on hydrostatic actuators. Finally, Chapter 8 focuses on conventional and new applications of both hydrostatic transmissions and actuators.
To ensure practicality, most of the examples in the book use catalogue data from manufacturers. While great care has been taken in the reproduction of illustrations and/or information taken from manufacturers, inadvertent typographical errors or omissions may have occurred. In some particular cases where catalogue data are unavailable, or when it is not strictly necessary to provide this data, we follow a purely theoretical approach in presenting the concepts. The overall idea behind using real catalogue data is to introduce the students to real-world applications as they work through the examples of the book.
In what follows, we briefly describe the subjects covered in every chapter of this book.
Chapter 1 presents an introduction to hydrostatic transmissions and actuators. Since applications now using mechanical power transmissions constitute a potential field for hydrostatic transmission usage, we review the subject of mechanical transmissions first. Hydraulic components are gradually introduced in this chapter.
Chapter 2 reviews some basic definitions and concepts about hydraulics, such as fluid compressibility and viscosity, pressure losses and internal flows in hydraulic circuits.
Chapter 3 focuses on hydrostatic pumps and motors. After exploring the fundamental aspects of pumps and motors in general, a succinct description of some representative models is given. The definition of efficiency takes up a considerable portion of the chapter, given its importance in hydrostatic transmissions. We also explore the basics of digital displacement and floating cup technologies.
Chapter 4 explores the steady-state operation of hydrostatic transmissions. After reading this chapter, the student will be able to create a basic design of a typical hydrostatic transmission.
Chapter 5 complements the steady-state analysis of hydrostatic transmissions carried out in Chapter 4 by exploring the transient regime. In this chapter, the student has the chance to study the oil compressibility effects, introduced in Chapter 2, that occur when the hydrostatic transmission is subject to dynamic loads.
Chapter 6 focuses on the theme of hydrostatic and electrohydrostatic actuators. Several circuit designs are described in detail. The chapter closes with a description of the common pressure rail technology and its relation with hydraulic transformers.
Chapter 7 introduces the dynamic analysis of hydrostatic actuators. A nonlinear analysis is carried out, and the equations describing the model are solved numerically.
Chapter 8 puts together current and potential applications of hydrostatic transmissions and actuators. Each application is described in detail, so that students can have a good knowledge of the benefits and drawbacks of the hydrostatic technology in every case.
Appendix A lists the several ISO hydraulic symbols used in the book.
Appendix B contains the necessary mathematical tools for a complete understanding of the book. Special emphasis is given to the solution of second-order linear differential equations, where the method of the Laplace transform is briefly presented.
Appendix C reviews the basics of fluid dynamics with a special emphasis on the Navier–Stokes equations, which are developed in detail. For students who are not familiar with the theme, this appendix constitutes a sufficient basis for the subjects covered in the book.
Some examples given in this book require a numerical solution. In this case, the reader can find the source code for the corresponding computer programs written in Scilab script language1www.wiley.com/go/costa/hydrostatic. The parts of the book for which a computer script is available have been marked with the download icon .
We have done our best to make the text as clear and rich as possible to the student, and it is our most sincere desire that this book contributes to the understanding and the development of this very important field of fluid power engineering.

The term power transmission refers to a collection of devices assembled to transmit power from one physical point to another. In this chapter, we describe the most common types of power transmissions and introduce the subject of hydrostatic transmissions and actuators. This chapter is divided into six parts:
Mechanical transmissions
Hydrodynamic transmissions
Hydrostatic transmissions
Hydromechanical transmissions
Mechanical actuators
Hydrostatic actuators
It is important to mention that there are other types of power transmissions. For example, an electricity gridline is a type of power transmission – from the generator to the final user. However, when mechanical energy is involved (kinetic and potential), the aforementioned types are the most representative.
The majority of this chapter deals with the topic ‘transmissions’, with a smaller portion dedicated to ‘actuators’, as actuators can be seen as a special type of hydrostatic transmission where the motor is replaced by a hydraulic cylinder. We start with a basic concept common to both mechanical and hydrostatic transmissions: the transmission ratio.
Figure 1.1 illustrates a typical situation where a power transmission can be applied. The input shaft is rotating with an angular speed and is connected to a prime mover (such as an electric motor or an engine) whose output power is . We connect the input shaft to an output (driven) shaft that must rotate at an angular speed . The angular speed of the driven shaft may be greater or lesser than the angular speed of the input shaft or even have an opposite direction in relation to the input shaft's angular speed.
