The Hydraulics Technology modules introduce students to the principles of hydraulics and the use of fluid power in automated manufacturing environments. In these modules, students use software to create, modify, operate and observe simulated hydraulic and electro-hydraulic devices and circuits. Students also use the hydraulics training panel with a wide assortment of industrial grade hydraulic components.
Students connect components on the panel in order to control a variety of typical industrial hydraulic applications. Students connect different components, change physical parameters and observe system responses. The combination of software and industrial equipment allows students to test and troubleshoot simulated circuits before hardware connections are made.
In the hydraulics module students design solutions for industrial hydraulic applications with emphasis on real industrial concerns, such as power losses across components, system overheating and optimized hydraulic power. Hydraulics Technology 1 emphasizes the use of simulation software and the design of basic hydraulic circuits. This module also includes applied science experiments to demonstrate the physical principles of fluid power.
