Principles, Operation and Maintenance of Hydraulic Systems

Introduction:

This training seminar provides participants with greater working expertise and understanding of hydraulic power systems.  The seminar delivers an interactive training experience designed to help participants understand the various components found in a typical hydraulic system and how these components function and interact with each other.
Participants will also learn about the major groups of hydraulic components, including the function and principles of operation of direct-and pilot-operated relief valves, pressure-reducing valves, directional-control valves, fixed- and variable-displacement pumps, and accumulators. Understanding of the basic hydraulic circuits most often used in industrial hydraulic systems is covered. Hydraulic principles of mechanical maintenance, types of hydraulic fluids and their characteristics will be also covered.
This training is designed for participants to learn and recognize faults and damage to major components in hydraulic systems during inspection and to adjust control valves and test hydraulic circuits for correct and safe operation.

Targeted Competencies:

•    Principles of Hydraulic Power Systems
•    Problems Related to Hydraulic Fluids
•    Variable and Fixed Displacement Hydraulic Pumps
