Medium-Duty/Heavy-Duty: Hydraulics
$99.00
Heavy equipment and diesel technicians alike regularly encounter complex hydraulic systems. This self-paced class will start with the basics of hydraulics and the various components necessary for hydraulic operation. Afterward, you’ll learn about how these components come together to build hydraulic systems and how these systems operate including the basics of maintaining and diagnosing these systems. This class teaches these concepts with text, images, diagrams, animations, and quizzes. After you finish all the labs and quizzes and score a 70% or higher on your first try, you’ll receive a certificate of completion.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the principles of hydraulics (fluid compressibility, constant pressure, Pascal’s law, pressure vs. piston size, piston size vs. piston travel, application force and piston size, fluid volume, flow rates)
- Identify the various components used for hydraulic operation and explain their operation.
- Describe the principles and operation of a basic hydraulic system. (reservoirs, filters, vents, lines, pumps, accumulators, valves, actuators, overview on the pumps, valves, and actuators, more detail on the rest)
- Research vehicle service information, including vehicle service history, service precautions, fluid type, and technical service bulletins
- Identify safety issues with regard to servicing hydraulic equipment and explain why they are important
- Describe various hydraulic schematic symbols
- Interpret hydraulic schematics
- Describe the principles and operation of various pumps (gear- internal and external, vane, axial piston, radial piston, rotor, fixed and variable displacement)
- Describe the principles and operation of various motors (gear, vane, axial piston, rotor, fixed and variable displacement)
- Describe the principles and operation of a basic hydraulic system
- Identify the different types of hydraulic hoses and couplings and explain how to service them
- Describe the principles and operation of actuators or cylinders
- Describe the principles and operation of various hydraulic valves (flow control, pressure control, directional control)
- Perform basic machine maintenance
- Diagnose hydraulic system problems and determine necessary action
