COURSE OVERVIEW

Hydraulic systems are used in many types of industrial applications, especially for heavy duty machineries. Good understanding in basic principle, operation and maintenance of the hydraulic systems and their associate equipment are essential for optimal hydraulic performance. This course is aimed to enhance the participant’s understanding on the basic principle and operation of hydraulic systems, enhance skill in maintenance and troubleshooting toward cost saving, safety and healthy working environment. Participants are exposed to the latest information on practical aspects of hydraulic systems and extensive discussion on maintenance and troubleshooting.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Industrial Hydraulics Systems training course is to provide an extensive understanding of hydraulic systems and components that is used to control the pressure, flow and direction of linear and rotary actuators. The course also covers the operation and maintenance aspects of the industrial hydraulic systems.
