FF - Fundamentals of Fluid Power

ID : 6272   
« back to classes page
Come to this class to learn how to do the real heavy lifting - using the principles of hydraulics and pneumatics! Power up a system that will take a human design and multiply the force to perform incredible feats. Fluid Power (Hydraulics and Pneumatics) are widely used methods of energy transmission used extensively on industrial, construction and agricultural machinery. Learn the building blocks of advanced systems: air compressors, power units, filters, pressure control valves, directional control valves, speed control valves, linear and rotary actuators, and more. It is recommended that students take the Electricity course or have fundamental knowledge of alternating and direct current (AC/DC). Gain stackable credentials and add to your skill set by earning two Festo / NC3 credentials.

LEARN THE SKILLS:
  • Interpret and draw pneumatic symbols
  • Construct and troubleshoot pneumatic circuits
  • Determine root cause of component failure
  • Make speed adjustments to actuators
  • Explain the force/pressure/area relationship
  • Describe the different states an actuator can assume and the importance of each
  • Identify/explain function of pneumatic components
  • Design, assemble, test, and troubleshoot basic hydraulic circuits
  • Identify and describe the construction, design features, and operation of hydraulic components
  • Interpret technical specifications and data relating to hydraulic components and systems
  • Identify and explain graphical symbols for hydraulic components
  • Describe fundamentals of oil flow

CERTIFICATION:
  • NC3 / Festo – Fundamentals of Fluid Power - Pneumatics
  • NC3 / Festo – Fundamentals of Fluid Power - Hydraulics
TUITION INCLUDES:
  • Online learning resources
