DESCRIPTION:

This two-day program addresses hydraulic principles as they relate to the design of new systems or improvement of existing systems, taking into account current industry practices and the price-quality ratio of the final product (1).

(1) Starting with project specifications, students will develop engineering drawings for a hydraulic unit and select the right components based on specified requirements.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completing this program, students will be able to:

  • Select the appropriate cylinder(s) based on the intended application
  • Select the appropriate motor(s) based on the intended application
  • Select the appropriate pump based on the intended application
  • Select the appropriate directional valves based on the intended application
  • Select the appropriate accessories based on the intended application
