HY511 – Hydraulics (1) Basic
This course provides you with an insight into hydraulic hardware technology and its function. You will learn to produce and read circuit diagrams and set the speed, pressure and position for hydraulic drives. As in all courses, practical work is an important component.
Target group
Everyone who has to deal with hydraulic systems in their working environment
Contents
- Standards for equipment and circuit diagram representation
- Design and function of hydraulic power supply systems
- Physical principles
- Measurement of volumetric flow rate, pressure and temperature as an aid to troubleshooting
- Hardware technology and characteristic data for valves and actuators
- Reading and interpreting basic hydraulic circuit diagrams for direction, speed, pressure and position
- Basic principles of systematic troubleshooting
