Introduction to Hydraulic Systems

This 4 day seminar is designed to acquaint individuals with the fluid power field and to 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 - engineers, technical sales technicians and management personnel.

Seminar Objectives
Upon seminar completion, participants should be able to do the following:

  • Identify the distinguishing features of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
  • Apply industry standards to hydraulic and schematic symbols
  • Analyze hydraulic circuits from a schematic drawing
  • Explain the operation and applications of valves, cylinders, pumps and motors
  • Identify the chemical and physical properties of fluids related to hydraulic system operation
  • Utilize continuity and power balance equations
  • Learn about the basics of hydraulic fluids, filtration technology and contamination control
  • Understand the basic configuration and operation of hydrostatic transmissions

Laboratory Sessions:

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