Technical Training and Courses
Basic Hydraulics
The aims of this course are to provide maintenance personnel and production operators etc with the skills and knowledge necessary to carry out maintenance tasks on hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who is required to maintain industrial hydraulic systems. No prior knowledge of hydraulic or electrical principles is necessary.
Benefits
On completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Apply safe working practices when working with hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems.
- Demonstrate relevant underpinning knowledge (units, flow, pressure, temperature, forces etc.)
- Understand the operation of hydraulic circuits and components typically used in industry.
- Understand how to carry out correct maintenance procedures on:
- Power units (fixed and variable delivery pumps, reservoirs, filters, strainers, pressure and vacuum gauges).
- Control elements (directional control valves, sequence, pressure reducing and counterbalance valves, check and flow valves).
- Actuators (cylinders, rams and motors)
