In a hydraulic system, pressure applied anywhere to a contained, incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid. This course is an introduction to hydraulic systems and their uses. It covers hydraulic theory, common components, what mechanical advantage is, and how hydraulic fluid is contaminated.
•Describe hydraulic theory
•Identify and describe common hydraulic system applications
•Identify and describe basic hydraulic system components
•Describe mechanical advantage
•Describe the purpose of hydraulic fluid
•Explain the causes and effects of fluid contamination
