Parker's Industrial Hydraulic Technology course is a 4½ days overview of industrial hydraulic components and circuits. This hands-on course consists of about 25% lab time as students gain a working knowledge of hydraulic equipment.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

In this course participants will learn:

• A practical study of pumps, flow valves, pressure valves, directional valves, hydraulic motors, filters, cylinders, and accumulators
• Hands-on experience, designing and building hydraulic circuits on system simulators
• Some troubleshooting tactics
• A practical study of petroleum based and fire retardant fluids
• The creation and use of schematic circuits
• Hydraulic power units

COURSE OUTLINE

Day One

1. Introduction
2. Definitions of some basic fluid power terms and discussion of some physical concepts as they apply to industrial machinery.
3. Explanation of the basic operation of transmitting force and energy through a hydraulic system.
4. A discussion of the how and why of cavitation with examples; how it differs from entrained air, and how it can be prevented.
5. A discussion of hydraulic fluids.
6. An introductory discussion of hydraulic actuators and basic calculations of force, speed, torque and power.

Day Two

1. An Introduction to hydraulic valves, presentation and discussion of hydraulic symbols.
2. Review of previous days material and an in-depth activity of developing a simple hydraulic system (log splitter).
3. Movie entitled "Hydraulic Transmission of Power." An introduction to hydraulic applications.
4. Detailed discussion of check valves, cylinders and accumulators -- how they work, how they are used in applications and potential problems.
