Hydraulics & Pneumatics

Catalog description

A basic study of hydraulic principles as applied to hydraulic motors, directional valves, pressure control valves, and hydraulic actuators. Pascal’s Law and Bernoulli’s Principle will be presented. Formulas will be applied to the hydraulic principles of speed, pressure, force, torque, and flow rate in hydraulic systems. Hands-on experience will be gained though constructing and operating hydraulic circuits in lab. Pneumatic theory will be studied along with symbol identification, circuit construction, and circuit operation. Hands-on experience will be gained using Automation Studio computer simulation labs.
