Learn the fundamental parameters and formulas that define hydraulic equipment. This section will explain some of the key calculations that control how each system will perform.
Learn the basic theories and formulas that govern hydraulic equipment.
Learn the basic formulas that govern hydraulic equipment and experiment with formula values in the visual calculators.
Learn the basic formulas that govern hydraulic equipment and experiment with formula values in the visual calculators.
Learn the basic formulas that govern hydraulic equipment and experiment with formula values in the visual calculators.
Examine a range of hydraulic valves to see how they work. We look inside each valves and explore the pressure balances that make them work. We show you how to experiment with our valve simulations to explore their function and better understand how they work. Once you have grasped these basic principles you should be able to recognise the same parameters in other valves. Valves include:
Hydraulic valve design fundamentals Video Instruction Interactive Experiment
Examine how valves affect the input and output power consumption of a simple hydraulic pumps and motor circuit. We look different ways of controlling the motor loads and see the effects on power consumption. We show you how to experiment with our circuit simulations to explore its function and better understand how the components work. Investigations include:

This module will NOT cover or apply to any specific equipment or industry. It is intended to lay down the basic building blocks for hydraulic circuit design without giving enough detail to explain specific mobile or industrial applications.
People who want to learn how to maintain or design hydraulically driven equipment.
Students must appreciate where hydraulics is used and have a basic understanding of the components used and design of a simple hydraulic circuit.
