MODERN INDUSTRIAL HYDRAULIC TRAINING
COURSE DURATION: 5 days
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This hydraulic training course is designed to familiarize participants with the fundamental principles and
operation of hydraulic control components.
This five-day hydraulics training course covers the basic principles and techniques of industrial
hydraulics and maintenance. It provides the student with a strong practical “hands-on” knowledge of
principles, circuit analysis and troubleshooting.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
On completion of this hydraulic training course, participants will be able to:
Understand the principles of hydraulics
Understand the basic functions of hydraulic systems
Understand the functions of valves (flow control, pressure control, directional control)
Recognize circuit symbols and diagrams to ISO 1219
Design and construct basic hydraulic circuits
Understand safe practice
Understand the functions of power packs, pumps, filters and reservoirs
COURSE OUTLINE
Basic principles and definitions
Drawing symbols
The power pack
Pump efficiency test
Pressure limiting valves
Hydraulic cylinders
Directional control valves
Valve port labeling
Flow control, meter-in and meter-out
Counter-balance valves
Pressure compensated flow control
Sequence valves
Hydraulic motors
Motor circuits
Pressure regulation
Pilot operated valves
Accumulators
Care of hydraulic oils
Pipe sizing and installation
Maintenance
Overview of proportional hydraulics
TARGET GROUP
This course is an excellent choice for maintenance and repair personnel, as well as engineering staff.
Machine downtime can be greatly reduced by also having the electrical maintenance group attend.
Prerequisites
Hydraulic training can be important for all personnel involved with the design modification, installation,
maintenance, operation and servicing of industrial hydraulic equipment and basic control systems.
A general engineering background is advised but no specific knowledge of hydraulics is needed as this
will be covered within the hydraulic training course.
Modern Pneumatic Training – Fundamentals
COURSE DURATION: 5 days
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This pneumatic training course aims to familiarize participants with the design installation, construction
and operation of pneumatic components. This includes the interpretation of circuit diagrams and symbols
as well as the construction of control systems.
This pneumatic training course covers the use of compressed air for pneumatic control and as a working
medium. A complete overview is given, covering compressors, storage, dryers and distribution as well as
the design, construction and operation of a range of actuators, valves and ancillary equipment. The
relevant ISO symbols are introduced and included in the circuit diagrams.
Practical “hands-On” sessions give participants the opportunity to put theory into practice. Working from
the circuit diagrams they have produced, participants have to select the correct components from a range
of equipment and build the circuits, making the necessary adjustments for pressure, flow and sequence.
A strong emphasis is placed on safety and appropriate working practices throughout the course, especially
during the practical sessions.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Understand the units and measurement scales associated with compressed air systems
Recognize pneumatic symbols drawn to the relevant standards (ISO 1219)
Understand the functioning of standard pneumatic cylinders and valves
Read pneumatic circuit diagrams
Construct simple pneumatic controls
Understand safe practice
COURSE OUTLINE
Advantages and disadvantages of air
SI units and conversions
Theory of air and gas laws
Overview of compressors, dryers and distribution
The service unit distribution
Single acting cylinders ISO symbols
Directional and solenoid operated valves
Direct and indirect control
Valve port labeling
Circuit diagram layout
Double acting cylinders
Logic valves including shuttle valves and two pressure valves
Component layout pressure valves
Speed control including flow control valves, quick exhaust valves
Timing valves
TARGET GROUP
All personnel involved with the installation, maintenance, operation and servicing of pneumatic
equipment and basic control systems.
PREREQUISITE
A general engineering background is advised but no specific knowledge of pneumatics is needed as this
will be covered within the pneumatic training course.
