HCEM 2135 - Hydraulics I
3 Credits
This is an introduction to basic hydraulic machine courses. The students will study the principals of hydraulic safety, component identification, machine operation, fluids, and maintenance. Students will use test instruments such as high-pressure gauges and flow meters to troubleshoot and diagnose hydraulic pump efficiency and condition of related system components. System components are disassembled and reassembled, with adjustments made to main and circuit reliefs in accordance with manufacturrs specifications.
Learning Outcomes
Develop directional control valve operation knowledge. Incorporate hydraulic preventative maintenance procedures. Discuss hydraulic pump efficiency. Solve basic hydraulic system failures. Disassemble and Assemble both hydraulic gear and Vane pumps. Explain pilot operated operation. Describe hydraulic motor operation. Explain gear type and vane type pump operation. Identify hydraulic fluids and hydraulic reservoirs.
