Building 65 Hydraulic Systems Handbook: Components, Systems, and Applications

Abstract

Hydraulics is the preferred method of power transmission for most of the types of structural tests performed in the Aerospace Structural Test Facility of the Air Force Research Laboratory in Building 65, WPAFB. This handbook documents the Building 65 hydraulic system, which includes reservoirs, pumps, and distribution lines. It also contains information on equipment used to create unique load test circuits for individual projects. It familiarizes users with theresources available and the hydraulic design philosophy used in this facility. Systems range in complexity from simple manually operated hand pumps to sophisticated servo-hydraulic closed loop load control systems.
