Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

After the course students master equations of flow technology, knows the structural details of components can design and dimension hydraulic systems and is familiar with the hydraulic required components.

Students become familiar with electro-hydraulic control systems and digital hydraulics, and how to design a proportional control.

Students learn about environmentally friendly water hydraulics.

Content (course unit)

Flow technology theory, valves and actuators sizing, circuit diagrams, system design and applications. Proportional valves, proportional control and design, servo valves and systems design.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Students recognize main components and know how they work. They can read hydraulics diagrams. Students are somewhat motivated and can work in a team and receive feedback.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)
