Fundamentals of Hydraulics and Troubleshooting

This video provides an excellent visual introduction to hydraulic systems and many of the problems they can develop. Developed and produced in partnership with major hydraulic equipment manufacturers, Fundamentals of Hydraulics & Troubleshooting explains the fundamentals of hydraulic systems and demonstrates industry-accepted practices for diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Topics covered include:

	Safety procedures for working on hydraulic equipment
	Reservoir design and construction
	Hydraulic fluids
	Pumps
	Directional control valves
	Relief valves
	Cylinders
	Cavitation and aeration
	Common causes of slow cycle times
	Diagnostic testing

Color animations are used to explain:

	How hydraulic pumps create flow and resistance to flow creates pressure
	Operating principles of external gear, internal gear, vane, axial piston and radial piston pumps
	Function of open center, closed center and cylinder circuits
	Importance of proper reservoir design
	How suction strainers cause cavitation at the pump inlet
	Operation of direct-acting and pilot-operated relief valves

The following diagnostic tests are explained and demonstrated:

	Direct pump test (pump flow test)
	System "T" test (system load test)
	Spool valve leakage test
	Cylinder piston seal leakage test
