Advanced Mobile Hydraulics
This four-and-a-half-day course will cover how to select and properly size components used in mobile hydraulic circuits. It will not cover industrial applications. Students will learn the correct methods for properly sizing components selected and not relying on “rules of thumb” to optimize the energy use within a system. The course is math intensive as basic math and physics are used to calculate required performance requirements for applications.
Prerequisites:
Students must have completed Industrial Hydraulics or Industrial Basics or Mobile Hydraulics, Electro Hydraulics Maintenance & Troubleshooting and Troubleshooting.
Topics covered include:
- Pump Energy Utilization
- Pressure Controls
- Hydraulic Pumps
- Light Duty Transmissions
- Relief Valves
- Medium Duty Transmissions
- Directional Control Valves
- Heavy Duty Transmissions
- Flow Controls
- Cylinders
- Steering Control Units
- Hydraulic Motors
Completion Requirements:
Students will be required to attend and participate in all sessions, exercises and assignments. In addition, successful completion of this course will require successfully passing a written exam with a score of 70% or higher.
