HSV02 - Volume 2: Electrohydraulic Components and Systems
Program Description
Electrification of hydraulic systems became a trend over the past two decades and will continue in the future. This 27-hour (5-day) seminar is designed to overview electrohydraulic components and systems. The seminar starts by discussing the basic difference between hydraulic and electrical control and how to merge both in one system. Following that part, the seminar presents several examples about how to convert a legacy hydromechanical system to an electrohydraulic system.
The seminar presents detailed discussion about the construction, principle of operation, selection, and sizing of solenoid operated valves, proportional valves, and servo valves. The seminar also covers the electrical control units used to drive such valves. The seminar also covers the concept of on/off control versus analog control using open-loop and closed-loop electro-hydraulic concepts. The state-of-the-art Universal Fluid Power Trainers are used to demonstrate the theory presented.
Who Should Attend
- Application engineers, system integrators, motion control engineers, sales engineers, field engineers and end users of electro-hydraulic components.
- Seminar attendees receive a copy of Electro-Hydraulic Components and Systems, Hydraulic Systems Volume 2
Upon successful completion, you will be able to:
- Recognize the difference in construction, principle of operation and characteristics between ON/OFF valves, proportional valves and servo valves.
- Apply real-time control technique for EH systems and perform infield tuning to adjust the system performance.
- Read the basic electronic schematics of the proportional/servo valve amplifiers.
- Make the best selection of the components required to build open- and closed-loop electro-hydraulic control systems.
