Hydraulic Systems (Design, Operation & Maintenance)

Course Overview

The purpose of this unit is to introduce trainees to the components, Operation and Maintenance, of a hydraulic system. After completing this unit, trainees should understand the basic principles of how hydraulic systems work.

Also this unit is designed to familiarize trainees with the operation of various types of cylinders and hydraulic motors in hydraulic systems. After completing this unit, trainees should be able to describe the basic components and common types of single-acting cylinders and double-acting cylinders. They should also be able to describe the basic components and operation of common types of vane motors, gear motors, piston motors, and partial rotation actuators.
