About the program
Hydraulics and pneumatic machines are the backbones of a range of industries including manufacturing, construction, mining, oil & gas. This course explores the design, construction, operation and maintenance and troubleshooting of these most versatile machines.
Students will obtain a comprehensive overview of all aspects related to the construction, design, operation, and maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Students will develop the requisite knowledge and skills to interpret, design and troubleshoot simple hydraulic and pneumatic circuits.
The 12-week course, led by an industry expert will provide you with practical, in-depth view of the hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
The course provides students with a comprehensive overview of all aspects related to the construction, design, operation, and maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
The course covers the concepts related to pressure and flow; the operation of hydraulic and pneumatic system components – such as actuators and control valves; simple circuits for hydraulic and pneumatic applications; the characteristics of hydraulic oil and air; proportional and servo technology in regard to electro-hydraulic systems; and, troubleshooting procedures.
After completing this course, students will have requisite knowledge and skills to interpret and design hydraulic and pneumatic circuits and systematically troubleshoot system faults and undertake corrective measures.
