This is the first module of two-part 40-hour seminar series on strategies for maximizing hydraulic system reliability. In the first 24-hour module participants will focus on fluid selection, application, analysis, and contamination-control and filtration technology. Basic lubrication principles are thoroughly covered and new technologies that impact fluid selection, application and life are introduced. The participant will learn methods for evaluating fluid condition and minimizing failures in hydraulic systems related to fluid degradation. Identifying the three primary sources of contamination and diagnosing the root cause of contamination are important skills all participants will take away from part one. Also covered will be filtration technology including filter types, filter ratings (nominal, absolute and beta ratings), standardized test procedures, filter location in the hydraulic system, filter sizing, and selection of filters for a given application. The seminar includes a tour of Benz Oil, a regional test lab and hydraulic fluid manufacturer.
Prerequisites
A fundamental understanding of hydraulics systems and components is necessary. MSOE Introduction to Hydraulics seminar will meet this requirement.
Who Should Attend?
- Filtration, Maintenance and Design Engineers
- Fluid Power Sales Professionals
- Multi-Craft Maintenance Personnel
- Millwrights, pipe fitters, plumbers, mechanics, machinery maintenance mechanics, and electromechanical repair technicians.
- If you're responsible for the ongoing operation of a fluid-power system, or if you manage or train workers who are, this seminar can show you what you need to know to keep the systems up and running.
