What you will learn in this section
Learn about the range of hydraulic pumps and motors available and how they work. Understand where and why they are used and how to get the best performance from them.
This module introduces people to the range of hydraulic pump types and discusses some of the reasons why they are used in particular applications.
Hydraulic pumps summary
Video Instruction Interactive Experiment
This module provides a brief introduction to the use of gerotor pumps in the fluid power industry, even though this relatively infrequent.
Hydraulic gerotor pumps training
This module looks at the basic operation and application of both internal an external gear pumps before reviewing more detailed installation, application, and maintenance advice.
Hydraulic gear pump training
This module looks at the basic operation and application of both fixed and variable displacement vane pumps before reviewing more detailed installation, application, and maintenance advice.
Hydraulic vane pump training
This module looks at the basic operation and application of both fixed and variable displacement piston pumps before reviewing more detailed installation, application, and maintenance advice.
s Axial piston pump training
Radial piston pump training
This module looks at the basic operation and application of both fixed and variable displacement low speed high torque LSHT piston motors before reviewing more detailed installation, application, and maintenance advice.
Low speed high torque motor training
This module reviews the main types of control used on variable displacement pumps. We discuss their design, operation and uses for:
Variable displacement pump controller training
This module is not market specific and will clarify the difference between all types of hydraulic pumps and their applications.
People who are responsible for hydraulic equipment in the following ways:
1. Operating hydraulic systems.
2. Managing or purchasing hydraulic equipment.
3. Maintenance and Design Engineers
Students are expected to be familiar with:
1. Where hydraulic fluid power is used e.g. types of machines and industries.
2. Basic hydraulic circuit layout.
3. Able to recognise hydraulic component and their symbols.
