"Very easy to comprehend"
Joe Reese - BDU Inc. - Director of Fluid Power
"Started the class with no knowledge of hydraulics and ended
with confidence"
Mike Smith - Mechanic - Johns-Manville
"The instructor gave 'Real World" applications, experiences
and terminology to make the whole seminar practical"
Nathanya Myers - Human Genome Sciences Inc.
Purpose of Seminar:
Being able to operate, maintain and troubleshoot your own hydraulic
equipment and systems starts with simply understanding how and why all
the various components work. That is what this course is all about.
We will provide you the basic building blocks and information you need
to become proficient in working with industrial hydraulics and fluid
power, whether a small mobile unit or large industrial installation.
This course is perfect for multi-craft technicians needing to understand
basic hydraulics to the skilled fluid power technicians who just need
a solid refresher. And because we know time is money this seminar is
designed to have immediate impact so that you can start saving maintenance
dollars on costly repairs and service calls today! Students attending
this course are expected to go back to their workplace and immediately
apply what they have learned to their hydraulic and fluid power systems.
Now that's "Real World" training!
Who should take this course?
This hydraulic seminar is a must for anyone who is involved with fluid
power maintenance at industrial plants, utilities or commercial and
private building facilities. Attendees come from a wide variety of industries,
skill-levels, company sizes, and job titles, so if you're not sure you'll
fit in or will benefit from the class, don't worry - you will! People
who will benefit from attending this seminar include…

Training Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will receive a training certificate
and .7 Continuing Education Units for each day attended (1.4 credits
for 2 days), indicating that the student has learned to:
- Identify hydraulic components by their schematic symbols
- Understand the applications of both primary and auxiliary components
- Select the correct valves, motors and actuators to obtain desired
results
- Design simple hydraulic circuits using schematics
- Diagnose and avoid common system & component problems
- Understand the differences and commonness of mobile and industrial
hydraulics
- Determine applications for, install and charge an accumulator
- Select, size, seal and route hydraulic pipes and hoses
- Control heat, filtration and contamination in hydraulic systems
- Work with hydraulic fluids and components in a safe and environmentally
friendly manner
- Properly test and inspect hydraulic systems
- Diagnose system versus component problems
- Evaluate the cause and effect of changing or re-sizing system components
Course Outline / Agenda
DISCUSSION TOPICS - DAY 1
Hydraulic Systems & Components: What They
Are and How They Work
This course begins with an overview of hydraulic principles and progresses
through hydraulic system components including pumps, valves, cylinders,
motors, rotary actuators, accumulators and filters with emphasis placed
on component structure and the identification of the components by the
proper symbol as standardized by ANSI and ISO.
Methods of instruction include lecture, discussion, audio-visual material
including power point presentation, animation of components and systems,
and lab exercises with real world hydraulic components.
Course Outline
- Hydraulic Principles
- Positive-Displacement Pumps
- Flow Control Valves
- Directional Control Valves
- Check Valves
- Hydraulic Cylinders
- Hydraulic Motors
- Hydraulic Rotary Actuators
- Pressure Control Valves
- Pilot Operated Pressure Control Valves
- Accumulators
- Fluid Conductors
- Reservoirs, Heat Exchangers and Filters
DISCUSSION TOPICS - DAY 2
Troubleshooting: How to Identify and Fix Common
Problems
During Day 1, students gained a basic "working knowledge"
of industrial hydraulic components and their function within an operational
system. This course builds on that knowledge and is designed to help
the student become aware of the decision making process that is part
of a good troubleshooting procedure, including hydraulic safety.
Using state of the art animated software and hands -on exercises, the
instructor focuses the class on the hydraulic troubleshooting process
and the inspection and testing tasks that are part of a systematic approach
to locating malfunctions and their underlying causes.
The lab exercises require the students to troubleshoot real
world system problems. Every application which is discussed in class
is totally dissected in the animated program. This animation program
allows the instructor to recalibrate; pressure, flow, torque, load and
even upsize and downsize of components such as pumps and cylinders.
