This course expands upon foundational hydraulic skills, providing in-depth knowledge of hydraulic components and their practical applications. Students will acquire industry-relevant expertise in various areas, encompassing operation, installation, performance analysis, and design. These topics encompass accumulator sizing, system design, circuit applications, component operation and installation, pilot-operated directional control valves (DCVs), two-stage directional control valves, cam-operated directional control valves (DCVs), DCV spool center types and applications, cylinder types and mountings, pressure-compensated flow control valves, pilot-operated check valves, direct-operated relief valves, non-compensated flow control valves, rapid traverse and slow feed circuits, cylinder sequencing, remote pressure control, pump unloading circuits, and p-port check valves. Furthermore, students will gain industry-relevant skills associated with these advanced topics, including operation, installation, performance analysis, maintenance, and design. These subjects encompass heat exchangers, reservoirs, fluid conductors, fluid conditioning, filtration, motor performance, pump performance, system design, and maintenance. Students must provide their own portable computer to access course curriculum through an online portal. The computer must meet the following minimum requirements: Windows, Mac, or Chromebook (no other portable devices are supported), 64-bit Browser with WebGL 2.0 support, sound card, and video card with WebGL support. Internet access outside of the Automation and Robotics center is required to access course content for study outside of class hours.
Pre-registration required.
