This training course is Step 2 of AMT’s PA State recognized INDUSTRIAL FLUID POWER (IFP) Program [see link below for Program information].

5 days – Understand industrial hydraulic principles and the way hydraulic equipment/systems are used. This is a comprehensive 2nd level (second step) in our students’ development as competent hydraulics maintenance persons and plant engineering personnel tasked with maintaining and troubleshooting fluid power equipment. Maintenance personnel continue their development of the principles of industrial hydraulics technology including additional concepts for fluid pressure, flow, and power. Continuing with the application of force, area, pressure, fluid flow rate, actuator speed, hydraulic power and hydraulic system heat production, students develop their understanding of how hydraulic powered and controlled machines work efficiently and with good control. Students will be introduced to fundamental hydraulic control automation. This control automation uses programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that are the “front end” of the hydraulic axis operation. Also, this course introduces the operation and application of electro-proportional hydraulic pressure and directional control valves with signals generated from a PLC. Students develop understanding of 12 hydraulic circuits most often used in hydraulic systems and they develop their ability to read hydraulic schematics. This training course is approximately 50% classroom and 50% hands-on hydraulic lab work including a brief programming example demonstration using PLC equipment.
