Description
This course is a real world hands-on approach to learning hydraulic principles and circuitry. Topics include force and energy transmission, identifying ANSI and ISO hydraulic symbols, and understanding how to read and draw hydraulic schematics. Students will use schematics to construct hydraulic circuits and components. Learn fluid power system operation and symbols including prime movers, reservoirs, pumps, gauges, directional control valves, cylinders, motors, and filters. Prerequisite: AMAR 1100 Automation Technician Basics.
Objectives:
• Identify fluid ANSI and ISO symbols.
• Identify different types of cylinders, pumps, motors, and valves.
• Explain the difference between controls and actuators.
• Install, troubleshoot, and repair hydraulic systems.
• Calculate formulas for force, pressure, and area.
• Compute the formula for GPM, volume, and rod speed.
