The Fluid Power Trainer is a multi-media computer-based training module design to instruct the user in basic fluid power principles. Hydraulics and pneumatics training should be a requirement in today’s maintenance department. Hydraulics and pneumatics are present on nearly every piece of equipment today. Learn how to read schematics and understand how hydraulic systems operate in order to troubleshoot effectively.
This tutorial includes the following units of instruction.
- Basic Fluid Power Principles
- Pneumatic and Hydraulic Schematics Symbols
- Cylinders
- Control Valves
- 3-Way & 4-Way Valves
- 4-Way & 5-Way Valves
- Pumps
- Misc. Components
- Trouble Shooting.
A Lab Manual, Interactive Quiz, and Answer Key are also included in the application to practice your skills.
This Course Includes Instruction in:
- Hydraulic schematic symbols are covered extensively with both interactive exercises that relate pneumatic and hydraulic schematic symbols to the real world and a PDF symbols library.
- How hydraulic cylinders work is explained with live-action interactive animation next to formulas and values so you can study the relationship between fluid mechanics fundamental principles and real-world applications.
- Interactive pneumatic and hydraulic simulations are used to explain the fluid mechanics fundamentals and applications.
- Pneumatic and hydraulic simulation software is used throughout the fluid power training course. Study the flow change after you switch a 3-way directional control valve for example.
- Study and interact with complete pneumatic and hydraulic system diagrams. At some points, you will be required to drag and drop components or schematic symbols to complete the pneumatic and hydraulic schematic diagrams.
- Pneumatic and hydraulic basics are clarified with animated and narrated diagrams, next to schematic symbols and a picture of real hydraulic and pneumatic components. Bringing it all together for you.
- Basic fluid power formulas are explained and demonstrated with the hydraulic and pneumatic simulators in an interactive way you can experience all vantage points and values. A task that would otherwise be difficult to visualize just listening to a lecture or reading a book.
- Also included is the plant compressed air system which is a type of fluid power control. Helps maintenance keep their compressed pneumatics online.
- Troubleshooting: Common problems and their solution are taught like in this screenshot of the hydraulics troubleshooting cavitation guide. Which also plays the sound you will want to listen for out in the plant.
