Industrial Hydraulics

Course Overview

This course delivers an interactive training experience designed to help you understand the various components found in a typical hydraulic system and how these components function and interact with each other.

Learn about various hydraulic pumps, actuators and pressure controls. See how directional flow and modular control valves operate and produce force inside hydraulic systems. Study maintenance practices for hydraulic systems and their accessories. Understand the basic physics laws as they apply to fluid power and the symbols represented in hydraulic schematics.

The learning labs, 3D simulations, quizzes and tests presented in this course bring unmatched interactivity and give you a comprehensive view of hydraulic systems. Download PDF brochure

Industrial Hydraulics Physics- Build your foundation for the course by reviewing the basic physics principles that govern fluid power: horsepower, torque, heat, flow and pressure

Pumps- See�in 3D�various types of hydraulic pumps and learn more about gear, vane and piston pumps, their differences and similarities, their fluid displacement capabilities and their proper application � Actuators- Learn how hydraulic actuators convert hydraulic horsepower back into mechanical horsepower

Pressure Control- Understand the basics behind force manipulation using control valves, the two basic designs and their operating principles

Directional Control- Discover how directional control valves determine hydraulic system design and see how these valves operate�start, stop and change the direction of fluid flow

Flow Control Valves- Learn about the various types of flow control valves as well as their application and location in hydraulic systems � Modular Control Valves- Know the how�s and why�s of modular valves and how they enhance system design and troubleshooting

Fluid Conditioning- Maintain proper operation of your hydraulic systems by knowing fluid temperature implications as well as the location and importance of filters in keeping hydraulic fluids clean

Check Valves- Understand the function of different valves and where they are used

Accessory Components- Learn about the components and use of accumulators, pressure switches, gauges, flow meters and manifolds

Fluid Conductors- Study the benefits of conductors�hydraulic hoses, steel tubing and steel pipes�and how they carry fluid to the various components in the hydraulic circuit

Understanding Schematics- Identify the basic symbols of a hydraulic schematic and learn to read the layout of systems on paper or computer

Basic System Design-See the components, pictures and labeling of hydraulic power units and multi-valve 4 station valve stack
