Description Introduces students to fundamental fluid power concepts and commonly encountered applications of hydraulic technology found in a wide range of mobile industrial equipment. Successful completion of this course provides students with a comprehensive overview of fluid, its use in converting, directing and transferring power, principles of control and considerations for system efficiency, reliability and maintenance.
Attendance considerations: Students should come prepared with a calculation device, toe guards/safety shoes, and eye protection/safety glasses. A selection of refreshments and lunches are provided, but may not meet dietary requirements.
