Hydraulic Pressure Controls (A9503)

This comprehensive interactive multimedia-training program consists of five individual lessons that train participants to identify system components, read schematics, and understand the conditions necessary for proper operation of a hydraulic system.

Prerequisites

This lesson is designed for participants who are familiar with the basic operating principles of hydraulic systems, hydraulic schematics, hydraulic pumps, and basic hydraulic
safety considerations.

Description

This lesson covers types of pressure control valves, their functions in hydraulic systems and some of their applications. The lesson discusses the principles of hydraulic pressure control with specific applications of check valves, pressure relief valves, direct-acting valves, pilot operated valves, normally- open valves, unloading valves, counterbalance valves, sequence valves, and pressure reducing valves.

Objectives

Explain the operation and applications of pilot-operated pressure control valves, normally-open pressure control valves, unloading pressure control valves, counterbalance valves, pressure control valves in sequencing operations as well as pressure control valves in pressure reducing circuits.
