Hydraulics: 2-day Classroom Seminar

Presented by National Technology Transfer, Inc.


Learn the basic hydraulic components, how they work, and their function in a hydraulic circuit. You will be able to understand and interpret hydraulic schematics, and implement safe work practices.

Course Description

Learn the basic hydraulic components, how they work, and their function in a hydraulic circuit. You will be able to understand and interpret hydraulic schematics, and implement safe work practices.

The extreme flexibility of hydraulic elements can create a number of problems. Participants learn how fluids must be positively confined through the entire system and prevented from going anywhere except where we want them to go.

There is no magical way to troubleshoot a hydraulic system; it is the logical analysis of basic facts and principles. Through the hands-on hydraulic trainers you will construct, operate and troubleshoot systems using common hydraulic components.

"Excellent trainer aids."
- Paul McLaughlin MWRD

"The instructor did an incredible job. He knew much about history of devices not otherwise listed in text. The pace was fast enough to keep subject interesting, however slow enough to provide understanding."
- Scott Helbing
