FLPW2180 — Circuit Design
This course will introduce the student to basics in the selection of hydraulic components, proper circuit design techniques and tools to help solve common application problems. Common hydraulic and pneumatic components such as pumps, motors, compressors, and valves will be thoroughly explained, along with proper applications and the sizing techniques. Circuits and components related to both mobile and industrial applications will be discussed. Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to design and plumb simple hydraulic circuits involving fixed and variable pumps, pressure control circuits and speed control circuits. The students will also have a better understanding of systems which will increase the ability to troubleshoot existing equipment and determine solutions to problems. This course is intended for hydraulic sales personnel, plant engineers, design engineers, service technicians and drafting and fluid power students.
