Industrial Hydraulics (Metric)
- Industrial Hydraulics Physics – Build a foundation for the course by reviewing the basic physics principles that govern fluid power: horsepower, torque, heat, flow, and pressure
- Pumps – Observevarious types of hydraulic pumps in 3D, and learn more about gear, vane and piston pumps, their differences and similarities, their fluid displacement capabilities and their proper application
- Actuators – Learn how hydraulic actuators convert hydraulic horsepower back into mechanical horsepower
- Pressure Control – Understand the basics behind force manipulation using control valves, the two basic designs, and their operating principles
- Directional Control – Discover how directional control valves determine hydraulic system design and see how these valves operate; start, stop, and change the direction of fluid flow
- Flow Control Valves – Learn about the various types of flow control valves as well as their applications and locations in hydraulic systems
- Modular Control Valves – Analyze modular valves, how they enhance system design, and troubleshooting
- Fluid Conditioning – Maintain proper operation of your hydraulic systems by knowing fluid temperature implications as well as the location and importance of filters in keeping hydraulic fluids clean
- Check Valves – Understand the function of different valves and where they are used
- Accessory Components – Learn about the components and use of accumulators, pressure switches, gauges, flow meters, and manifolds
- Fluid Conductors – Study the benefits of conductors, including hydraulic hoses, steel tubing, and steel pipes, and how they carry fluid to the various components in the hydraulic circuit
- Understanding Schematics – identify the basic symbols of a hydraulic schematic and learn to read the layout of systems on paper or computer
- Basic System Design – Observe the components, pictures, and labeling of hydraulic power units and multi-valve, 4-station valve stack
