Fluid Power — NAVEDTRA 14105

This manual presents many of the fundamental concepts in the fields of hydraulics and pneumatics. It is intended as a basic reference for all personnel of the Navy whose duties and responsibilities require them to have a knowledge of the fundamentals of fluid power. Consequently, emphasis is placed primarily on the theory of operation of typical fluid power systems and components that have applications in naval equipment. Many applications of fluid power are presented in this manual to illustrate the functions and operation of different systems and components. However, these are only representative of the many applications of fluid power in naval equipment. Individual training manuals for each rate provide information concerning the application of fluid power to specific equipment for which the rating is responsible.
