This learning system explores hydraulic system troubleshooting and advanced hydraulic systems operation. To develop troubleshooting skills, this curriculum will first discuss how to test for failures in each type of hydraulic component while the component is still attached to the system. Later, the learning system will explain methodical troubleshooting procedures that will help apply these tests in an efficient manner to locate the problem as quickly as possible.
The advanced hydraulic training course will introduce a number of new types and styles of hydraulic components and systems not seen in previous Amatrol courses, but which are quite common in industry. These include subplate-mounted pressure control valves, sandwich valves, JIC cylinders with cushions, pressure-compensated pumps, tandem pumps, unloader valves, and counterbalance valves. This hydraulic eBook has also been keyed to the Amatrol 950-HT1 Hydraulic Troubleshooting System. This trainer uses the new styles of components and has faults that can be inserted by the student or the instructor to provide a realistic industrial troubleshooting practice.
