About the course
Aim
The object of this course is to give knowledge about components and systems for fluid transfer of energy and control principles for fluid power systems. After the course, the student should:
- Have knowledge of functions and characteristics of hydraulic and pneumatic components
- Be able to apply static calculations on hydraulic and pneumatic components and systems.
- Be able to compare and evaluate fluid power systems with respect to performance and energy efficiency
- Be able to describe experiments and fluid power system design through text and images in a report
Content
- Energy transmission based on hydraulics and pneumatics. Basic fluid dynamics. Component knowledge with respect to functionality and design of pumps, motors, cylinders, valves, accumulators, filters and line components. Characteristics of fluids. System design for different hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Calculation methods for components and systems.
- Basic system principles for control of position, velocity/speed, force/torque and power. Principles for load sensing hydraulic systems and hydrostatic transmissions. Characteristics of proportional- and servo-valves. Automatic sequence control. Measurement methods in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
