Fluid Power Systems
Course Description
Fluid power systems (hydraulics and pneumatics) offer an alternate means of controlling industrial systems without a large number of electrical components. Forces can be quickly transmitted over considerable distances efficiently with little loss and large components can be controlled with very small forces, and with smooth, uniform action.
This GiRD course provides participants with the knowledge to construct and operate all the individual components essential for the optimum operation of the overall fluid power system. It includes the supply of fluid (gas or liquid), the use of fluid powered control cylinders, control valves and motors as well as the tools associated with the maintenance and repair of fluid power systems.
Target Audience
This GiRD course is designed for professionals involved with, and responsible for, the operation of fluid power systems including maintenance managers, maintenance supervisors, engineers, project managers, technicians and plant operators.
