Overview
To understand how a hydraulic system works, you must understand how the different components of the system work. This course covers how actuators, valves, piping, and instruments are used in a hydraulic system. It also covers the symbols that are used to diagram a hydraulic or electrohydraulic circuit.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
- Describe how hydraulic actuators transform hydraulic energy to mechanical energy
- Describe the purpose of hydraulic valves and how they work
- Explain the uses of piping and tubing in a hydraulic system
- Explain the types of measuring instruments used in a hydraulic system
- Identify the symbols used in hydraulic systems
- Describe hydraulic and electrohydraulic circuits
