OS-HYD-201 Components of a Hydraulic System

Overview

To understand how a hydraulic system works, you must understand how the different components of the system work. This course covers how actuators, valves, piping, and instruments are used in a hydraulic system. It also covers the symbols that are used to diagram a hydraulic or electrohydraulic circuit.

By the end of this course, you will be able to

• Describe how hydraulic actuators transform hydraulic energy to mechanical energy
• Describe the purpose of hydraulic valves and how they work
• Explain the uses of piping and tubing in a hydraulic system
• Explain the types of measuring instruments used in a hydraulic system
• Identify the symbols used in hydraulic systems
• Describe hydraulic and electrohydraulic circuits
