Training Rigs

Basic Hydraulics Course (Code: MH)

  • To impart a basic understanding of maintenance hydraulics
  • To increase the knowledge of personnel who are actively engaged on the repair and maintenance of hydraulic systems
  • To allow participants to become familiar with fluid power technologies such as pump flow, cylinder speed, forces and pipe sizes

1. Aims

  1. Introduce basic hydraulic theory in a practical way
  2. To increase the knowledge of personnel in maintenance and fault-finding techniques associated with hydraulic systems
  3. To enable participants to understand their specific hydraulic installation and circuit diagrams
  4. To gain hands-on experience of building, fault-finding and optimising hydraulic circuits using our range of specially designed training rigs
  5. To introduce participants to proportional control, optimising and fault-finding
