Modern Industrial Hydraulic Training: Course Description
Modern Industrial Hydraulic Training: Course Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This hydraulic training course is designed to familiarize participants with the fundamental principles and
operation of hydraulic control components.
This five-day hydraulics training course covers the basic principles and techniques of industrial
hydraulics and maintenance. It provides the student with a strong practical “hands-on” knowledge of
principles, circuit analysis and troubleshooting.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
On completion of this hydraulic training course, participants will be able to:
Understand the functions of valves (flow control, pressure control, directional control)
COURSE OUTLINE
Basic principles and definitions
Drawing symbols
Hydraulic cylinders
Sequence valves
Hydraulic motors
Motor circuits
Pressure regulation
Accumulators
Maintenance
TARGET GROUP
This course is an excellent choice for maintenance and repair personnel, as well as engineering staff.
Machine downtime can be greatly reduced by also having the electrical maintenance group attend.
Prerequisites
Hydraulic training can be important for all personnel involved with the design modification, installation,
maintenance, operation and servicing of industrial hydraulic equipment and basic control systems.
A general engineering background is advised but no specific knowledge of hydraulics is needed as this
will be covered within the hydraulic training course.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This pneumatic training course aims to familiarize participants with the design installation, construction
and operation of pneumatic components. This includes the interpretation of circuit diagrams and symbols
as well as the construction of control systems.
This pneumatic training course covers the use of compressed air for pneumatic control and as a working
medium. A complete overview is given, covering compressors, storage, dryers and distribution as well as
the design, construction and operation of a range of actuators, valves and ancillary equipment. The
relevant ISO symbols are introduced and included in the circuit diagrams.
Practical “hands-On” sessions give participants the opportunity to put theory into practice. Working from
the circuit diagrams they have produced, participants have to select the correct components from a range
of equipment and build the circuits, making the necessary adjustments for pressure, flow and sequence.
A strong emphasis is placed on safety and appropriate working practices throughout the course, especially
during the practical sessions.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Understand the units and measurement scales associated with compressed air systems
COURSE OUTLINE
Advantages and disadvantages of air
Timing valves
TARGET GROUP
All personnel involved with the installation, maintenance, operation and servicing of pneumatic
equipment and basic control systems.
PREREQUISITE
A general engineering background is advised but no specific knowledge of pneumatics is needed as this
will be covered within the pneumatic training course.
