Specialized Hydraulics DSM283 Specialized Hydraulics Specialized Hydraulics is the study of troubleshooting hydraulic systems, hydrostatic transmissions and hydraulic-assist tranmissions. The course deals heavily in the use of test equipment and schematic reading. Troubleshooting of a hydraulic system is taking the basics one has learned and using a systematic approach, along with various test equipment, to determine problems within the system.
Hydrostatic transmission is the use of pumps and motors in the propulsion of moving equipment.
Emphasis will be placed on the operation, control and repair of the hydrostatic transmission. Operation, oil flow and repair are the main issues that are covered within this transmission. Torque converter and retarder operation is included within the hydraulic-assist transmission portion.
