Advanced Hydraulics

Course #303

 

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed for experienced mechanics. The course will teach the math and physics needed to understand the complex issues in trouble-shooting and maintaining industrial hydraulic systems. The students will design basic hydraulic systems and the electrical controls. The students will then test their designs on a computer simulated software system.

Learner Outcomes:

  1. The student will be able to design a sequence valve hydraulic system, a counter balance hydraulic system and a hydraulic clamping system from functional specifications.
    2.  
  2. The students will be able to explain the operation of a proportional valve and design a hydraulic system utilizing the proportional control valve.
    3.  
  3. The students will be able to explain the operation of a servo control valve and design a hydraulic system utilizing the servo control valve.
    4.  
  4. The student will build a knowledge base of hydraulic unloading systems. The student will then use this knowledge base to design a Hi-Low hydraulic system employing two pumping systems.
    5.  
  5. The student will be able to distinguish the differences between fixed pumps and variable pumps. Given a pump curve, the student will be able to calculate pump Hp and determine where it is operating in relationship to the curve.
    6.  
  6. The student will be able to distinguish the differences between vane, gear and piston hydraulic motors. The student will be able to analyze a hydraulic motor drawing and determine the type of braking system that is employed.
    7.  
  7. The student will be able to design a stable hydraulic system incorporating a 4-way proportional control valve when given the natural frequency (Hertz) of the system.
    8.  
  8. The student will be introduced to powerful trouble-shooting techniques and will use these techniques to trouble-shoot a hydraulic system.
    9.
