Proportional Hydraulics

Duration:

3 Days

Who is it for:

Mechanical and electrical technicians and fitters involved in the installation, commissioning, maintenance and fault finding of hydraulic systems with proportional valves and their associated controls.

Entry Requirements:

Candidates should have attended our Stage 1 Hydraulics training course and have a good understanding of modern hydraulic systems.

Some knowledge of basic electrical circuits would be advantageous. Knowledge of simple electronics would also be helpful but not essential.

Course Aims:

To increase knowledge of proportional hydraulic components: function, operation, application and control.

To give practical training: setting up procedures, tuning and testing of proportional hydraulic systems.

Course Outline:

Introduction to basic electrical theory, solenoid control, (current and voltage drivers), magnetism, pulse width modulation, dead band compensation and dither.

• Principles of operation of proportional valves (design, sizing and selection).
• Commissioning, setting up, testing and fault finding.
• Position, velocity, acceleration and force control.
• Open loop and closed loop control.
• Operation of Servo valves.

Leading to:

Certificate of attendance.

Provides an excellent foundation to those wishing to take the BFPA Level 3 qualifications in hydraulics.

Notes:

At the end of the course, candidates will be able to commission and maintain proportional control systems.

An understanding of basic hydraulics is essential.

Courses are limited to small groups to maximise participation and transfer of knowledge and practical skills.

All delegates will receive a comprehensive set of support notes, lunch and refreshments.
