Course content

3 sections • 22 lectures • 4h 49m total length

  • What will I learn in this course?1:09

    What will I learn in this course? In the resource part of this lesson there is a PDF called Hydraulics 101. That is a free PDF all of my students get when enrolling in my hydraulics courses. It is all of the basics covered in the course Hydraulics 101 that you will need for this course. If you have no prior knowledge about hydraulics I suggest you download it and read it.

  • What are schematics?12:46

    In this introduction lesson we will be talking a little bit about hydraulic diagrams and at the end of the lesson we will analyze a simple hydraulic circuit diagram.

  • First quiz
  • Hydraulic schematics symbols12:09

    In this lesson we will be discussing basic symbol shape and we will cover a little bit about directional control valves used in our hydraulic circuit diagrams.

  • Second quiz
  • Directional control valve (DCV) notation practice4:18

    A quick and brief lesson to make sure you understand the numbers that describe directional control valves.

  • Third quiz
  • Hydraulic circuits (open circuits) part 17:28

    The first part of the lesson on hydraulic circuits. This lesson will be covering a basic open loop hydraulic circuit and in the next part we will be covering the closed loop circuit as well as comparing these two. I divided this lesson into two parts because one part would be too long and too hard to focus on the entire time.

  • Hydraulic circuits (closed circuits) part 28:24

    The second lesson on hydraulic circuits types. This lesson covers an example of a closed hydraulic circuit.

  • Fourth quiz

Requirements

  • Be able to do basic calculus
  • Have a Windows PC for the editor (if you want to make your own circuits)
  • Know English at a medium level
  • Hydraulics 101 (my course) would be preferable

Description

This course is made for mechanical engineering students and anyone who has problems grasping the reading and understanding of the hydraulic circuit diagrams. At first they can seem complicated and entangled but when you approach them studiously and slowly you see that they are pretty intuitive and simple. In the course you will learn how to read and analyze some basic hydraulic circuits as well as do some hydraulic circuit problems and calculations. At the end of the course there is a short lesson on the Bosch Scheme Editor, a free program for your computer on which you can edit and make your own hydraulic circuits. This is a course that goes along side my first course Hydraulics 101, so if you are not familiar with the basics of hydraulic machines I recommend that you take that course first.

After every lecture there is a quiz so you can recapitulate on your knowledge.

There are 3 sections, the first section is an introduction to hydraulic circuit diagrams, the second section is the part where we will do hydraulic calculations and solve hydraulic problems and the last section is a bonus for people who want to draw their own hydraulic circuit diagrams.

Who this course is for:

  • Engineering students
  • Mechanical engineering students
  • Mechatronics students
  • Hydraulic technicicans
  • People that work with heavy equipment
  • Engineers
  • People interested in hydraulics
