Hydraulic System and Pneumatic System - Maintenance :

Hydraulic system and Pneumatic system are two basic methods that power industrial machinery today. They have become the integral and important part of almost all mechanical chain system. They find a variety of industrial applications in the manufacturing sector. The Electro - Hydraulics and Pneumatics systems are right there from as simple as hand tools to as sophisticated as CNC machine tools. These modern systems have opened up new avenues of industrial applications with more challenging tasks particularly in process control. Adequate knowledge about the Hydraulics & Pneumatics circuits and their application in process design has become a must for designing and maintenance engineers. This ensures trouble less operation and helps carrying out trouble shooting activities.

One needs to focus on areas such as;

 Symbols and circuit diagrams.
 Hydraulic components - Pumps, DC Valves, Cylinders, Motors and     Reservoirs.
 Function of hydraulic components.
 Energy saving techniques and measures in Hydraulic power packs.
 Pneumatic components ? valves, cylinders, tubes and fittings.
 Pneumatic Symbols & schematic diagrams.
 Hydraulic circuits and hydraulic technology in machine tools.

People involved in using industrial components related to hydraulic and pneumatic systems, should have sufficient knowledge to safely work with fluid power systems.
