In-Depth, Comprehensive Advanced Pneumatics Curriculum Connected to Real-World Skills

Amatrol’s eLearning curriculum is unique in that it thoughtfully combines in-depth theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on skills. This powerful combination of knowledge and skills solidifies understanding and creates a strong foundation for pursuing more advanced skills.

Moving Loads Pneumatically

Learners using Amatrol’s advanced pneumatics eLearning course will study various aspects of moving loads pneumatically, including pneumatic cylinder loads and applications, component sizing, air bearings, and pneumatic motor loads. Individual lessons focus on topics like the four forces that act against cylinder movement, the operation of a pressure regulator under flow conditions, how to size a pneumatic cylinder, types of torque specifications, and the function and applications of air bearings. Learners will also practice skills, such as connecting and operating a quick exhaust valve, calculating the air flow rate needed to cycle a pneumatic cylinder, and measuring pneumatic motor speed using a photo tachometer.

Vacuum Systems

Learners will study various aspects and components of vacuum systems, including vacuum gauges, manometers, vacuum generators, and vacuum applications. Individual lessons focus on topics like the methods of representing vacuum pressure, the operation and application of a venturi (Bernoulli’s Law), the operation of vacuum cups and lifters. Learners will also practice skills, such as connecting and reading a vacuum gauge, connecting and operating a vacuum generator, and designing the vacuum cup portion of a handling rack.

Air Compressors

Learners using Amatrol’s advanced pneumatics eLearning course will study various aspects and components of air compressors, including compressor types, reciprocating compressor components, compressor flow concepts, and compressor performance. Individual lessons focus on topics like types of positive displacement and dynamic air compressors, pressure switches, safety relief valves, Ideal Gas Law, and five factors used in the selection of an air compressor. Learners will also practice skills, such as starting up and shutting down a small reciprocating piston air compressor, determining the cut-in and cut-out pressures on a compressor pressure switch, sizing an air compressor given application data, and using the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the effect of changes in air temperature, pressure, and volume.
