This 27-hour 5-day seminar introduces hydraulic systems from the basic concepts to the building and operation of these systems. The core part of the course covers the construction and the operation of the basic hydraulic components such as pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, rotary actuators and accumulators. The course discusses also the terminologies used in the field, the sources of inefficiencies in the system, and the main specifications of each of the aforementioned hydraulic components. The course concluded by exploring the basic techniques to build hydraulic systems that work safely and efficiently.
The course covers basic applications such as pressure limiting, pump unloading, driving single and multiple actuators against, resistive, overrunning, and combined loads. Other applications are covered such as sequence control and hydrostatic transmission. Course attendees will receive a textbook that contains one year free license to use the “Hydraulic Component Sizing Calculator” software and a copy of the animated circuits.
This program is intended for individuals with limited exposure to fluid power, including engineers, technical sales personnel, technicians and management personnel.
Seminars will be held at the headquarters of our new education partner, GS Global Resources.
