Phase 2 Hydraulics
2 Day Class – 8 Hour Days
Intended for:
Technicians that have completed Phase 1
Refresher for Experienced Technicians
Course Description:
Building on foundational knowledge, this advanced hydraulics course delves into the detailed functions and operations of hydraulic systems and components. Students will gain a deeper understanding of hydraulic schematics, symbols, and the specific roles of components such as reservoirs, pumps, valves, filters, and accumulators. The course also explores specialized circuit types, including regeneration, pressure intensification, and flow intensification, providing participants with the skills needed to analyze and troubleshoot complex hydraulic systems.
Key Topics Covered:
- Shop and Hydraulic Safety: Best practices for maintaining a safe working environment and safely handling hydraulic systems and components.
- Symbols and Schematics: Advanced interpretation of hydraulic symbols and system schematics for complex circuits.
- Detailed Component Functions: In-depth study of hydraulic system components, including reservoirs, pumps, valves, filters, and accumulators, with a focus on their roles and interconnections.
- Specialized Circuit Types: Exploration of advanced hydraulic circuits, such as regeneration, pressure intensification, and flow intensification, with an emphasis on their design and applications.
- Hydraulic Systems Analysis: Techniques for understanding and diagnosing performance issues in complex hydraulic systems.
Learning Approach:
The course combines instructor-led theoretical sessions with practical demonstrations and exercises. Participants will use site-specific tools and equipment to gain hands-on experience, reinforcing their ability to analyze and troubleshoot hydraulic systems effectively.
Outcome:
By the end of this course, students will possess an advanced understanding of hydraulic system components, circuit functions, and diagnostic techniques. This knowledge will prepare them for higher-level roles in hydraulics maintenance and engineering or further specialized training.
