This 27-hour seminar is designed to acquaint individuals with the fluid power field and provide a practical working knowledge of this important and growing industry. This program features laboratory sessions where participants will gain practical experience working with actual fluid power components and systems. Specifically, laboratory sessions will treat the disassembly, inspection and assembly of individual components, as well as system design examples.

Who Should Attend?

This program is intended for individuals with limited exposure to fluid power, including engineers, technical sales personnel, technicians and management personnel.

Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

• identify the distinguishing features of hydraulic systems.
• recognize hydraulic components by symbols and read schematics based on ISO standards.
• analyze hydraulic circuits from a schematic drawing using animated schematics modeled by Automation Studio.
• explain the operation and applications of pumps, rotors, valves, cylinders, rotary actuators and accumulators.
• utilize continuity and energy balance equations.
• understand the basic configuration and operation of hydrostatic transmissions.

Laboratory Sessions

• Component Laboratory Participants will have an opportunity to view take-apart hydraulic system components and learn, in detail, their operation.
• Hydraulic Systems Laboratory Participants will have an opportunity to build hydraulic circuits and analyze data on state-of-the-art hydraulic trainers.

Calculator: Be sure to bring a scientific calculator for class.
