Modern Industrial Hydraulic Training
Modern Industrial Hydraulic Training
This hydraulic training course is designed to familiarise delegates with the construction and operation of hydraulic components.
Investigating the construction and operation of a range of hydraulic equipment, this hydraulic training course covers the fundamental principles of hydraulics as well as the individual components.
Valves controlling pressure, flow rate, sequence and direction of flow are included and practical exercises are used to demonstrate their operation, based on standard symbol circuit diagrams drawn by the delegates. Maintenance and a systematic approach to fault finding are also covered.
A strong emphasis is placed on safety and appropriate working practices throughout the course, especially during the practical sessions. Particular attention is paid to the storage of pressure with accumulators or suspended loads.
Target group
Hydraulic training can be important for all personnel involved with the design, installation, maintenance, operation and servicing of industrial hydraulic equipment and basic control systems.

Course duration
This hydraulic training courses takes place over three days and is available in-house or at one of our national training centres. Practical exercises are used throughout the course. Candidates will also use FluidSIM, a Festo software package for the design and simulation of fluid power circuits.
