This two and one-half day seminar carefully examines all aspects of contamination of hydraulic systems.
Contamination is probably the most frequent cause of hydraulic system failure.
Fortunately, the incidence of system failure due to contamination can be greatly reduced with proper fluid and filter selection. The participant will learn to identify and best select methods to reduce and minimize failures. The seminar will thoroughly discuss the selection of the proper hydraulic fluid for a given application, causes and effects of hydraulic system contamination, sources of contamination and types of contaminants. The Electrohydraulic Motion Control Laboratory will be used to interpret a fluid sample analysis. A fundamental understanding of hydraulics systems and components is necessary.
