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