The Fluid Power Trainer
SKU: KTD-600-FluidPowerTrainer-FFP
Product description:
This Basic Hydraulics Training Course (The Fluid Power Trainer) uses pneumatic and industrial hydraulic training simulations to instruct the learner in the fluid power principles and ISO CETOP hydraulics schematics symbols. Learn how to read schematics, and understand how pneumatic and hydraulic systems operate in order to troubleshoot hydraulics and pneumatics systems effectively. Learn much more than just how hydraulics works, the course even touches on vacuum systems.
Basic fluid power formulas are explained and demonstrated with the hydraulic and pneumatic simulator in an interactive way so student can experience all vantage points and values. A task that would otherwise be difficult to visualize just by listening to a lecture or reading a book. As a plant compressed air system is a type of fluid power control, this course helps maintenance keep their compressed pneumatics online. The course wraps up with a troubleshooting section.
This basic industrial hydraulics training course (the Fluid Power Trainer), typically takes about 25 hours to earn a certificate. If an instructor goes through the Lab manual exercises with a class, it could extend class hours. It is a software course to be installed on a Windows computer, so it never expires, learners can use it on their own schedule and use it as a refresher. Available as a single Student learner license, unlimited-user Site License, and unlimited-sites Enterprise License for schools and companies. Most online and software courses' amount of interactivity is no more than flipping to the next screen and answering some written questions, our courses are the exception. This course on industrial control includes videos, animations, and even simulations! So the learner understands better and retains knowledge longer.
Also, the included 62-page PDF Laboratory Manual is full of proven practical exercises, assignment sheets, and quizzes that allow the learner to gain a better understanding of the fluid power course. Also included with the course is a PDF industrial hydraulics glossary. The lab manual is written for the instructor to use with their students when a school is purchasing a site and enterprise licenses. A single Student learner license holder (individuals), also has access to the lab manual, as extra learning material, not required for the certificate completion.

".. Any restriction placed in a fluid stream that is normally laminar may cause turbulence for a short distance. These restrictions are undesirable but sometimes very necessary. Each restriction will add to the overall power loss through the system. All unnecessary bends and fittings should be eliminated. ..."
" ... With an understanding of the principles involved in reading fluid power diagrams, any diagram can be interpreted. The diagram shown here is typical of diagrams that are likely to be encountered in the maintenance field. ..."
"... A single-acting cylinder is a cylinder that delivers power only in one direction of piston travel. The piston will return to its starting position by the load weight or by spring force. The primary means of speed control of these cylinders is through meter-in control. ..."
"... The function of pressure control valves is to limit the maximum pressure in either a pump line or a branch circuit line. There are a variety of pressure control valves, such as pressure reducing valves, by-pass valves, sequence valves, and counterbalance valves. ..."
"... In this interactive pneumatic simulation, a double-acting cylinder is shown connected to a 5-way valve. Full air pressure is connected to the port that extends the cylinder and reduced pressure is connected to the port that retracts the cylinder. The cylinder shares an exhaust port. This arrangement allows high pressure in one direction and lower pressure in the other. ..."
"... If any system is not properly designed or properly maintained it can have cavitations. More pumps and hydraulic systems fail as a result of cavitations than any other single cause. There are two main types of cavitations; vacuum cavitations and aeration. ..."
"... Compressed air in its "raw" state should not be used in fluid power systems including air tools and instrumentation until it has been cleaned, pressure adjusted, and in some cases de-humidified and lubricated. Every air compressor should have an intake filter. This filter will remove most of the larger dust particles; however, it will not remove fine dust or moisture vapor. ..."
"... Occasionally a cylinder will leak at one point in its stroke due to a scratch or a dent. Check suspected positions in mid-stroke by installing a positive stop at the suspected position and running the piston rod against it for testing. Once in a great while, the piston seal may leak immediately. This is usually caused by a soft packing or O-ring moving slightly or rolling into different positions on the piston, and is more likely to happen on cylinders of a large bore. ..."
Fortune 500 companies, schools and universities, mechanics, contractors, and various apprenticeship programs and training centers around the world use this interactive training software course to supplement their hydraulic engineering training. After taking this course, the learner will have a better understanding of fluid power principles, associated standards, pneumatic and hydraulic symbols, and fluid power system circuit diagrams. They will also be able to report on common faults and problems encountered in fluid power systems.
