RT10-209: Hydraulics and Pneumatics

In this course, students gain basic knowledge for operation and control of fluid power systems. Students will work with fluid systems to gain an understanding of the components involved as well as how the fluids are used in industry. Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are explored in a lab environment to understand how the fluids carry out a variety of manufacturing processes and manipulate work pieces. Students will explore the differences between the pressurized fluids with respect to abilities such as speed, precision, and power. This course will prepare the students for programming courses that will work on industrial control of fluid power components.
