Hydraulics 101

via Udemy

Overview

Hydraulics basics

What you'll learn:
  • Hydraulic power systems
  • The basics of how hydraulic systems work
  • The basics of work fluids that are used in hydraulic systems
  • The basics of pumps and hydraulic motors
  • The basics of energy converter parameters

The only course in hydraulics you will ever need!
This course covers the basics of hydraulic systems.

You don't have to have any type of prior knowledge except basic arithmetic operations. There is an introduction part to get you started on learning about hydraulic systems. There is a little bit about hydrodynamic systems, but mostly this course is focused on hydro-static systems. After this course you will be able to understand the basics about hydraulic machines and you will be able to continue learning more about hydraulics, through my courses or through other mediums.

  • In the beginning of the course we will cover how systems function, then we will get to the various fluids that can be used in hydraulic system.

  • After every section there is a quiz so you can review what you learned and what you should maybe revise again.

  • The plan is that when you finish this course you will know enough about hydraulics to continue to learn about more advanced systems.

  • I will be releasing a Hydraulics 102 course very soon which will cover hydraulic pumps, motors and cylinders in detail. As well as diagrams and schematics.

[UPDATEMAY2021]

The course was refreshed, some of the things were changed up and an entire new section was added. In the new section there is a little bit about pumps, motors, hydraulic cylinders and about hydraulic schematics. APDFwas added to the course, you can find the PDFin the resource part of the first lesson. The PDFcontains all of the important information on Hydraulics basics and is usable as a standalone textbook. It is 30 pages long for now but I will work on it more in the future.

    Course was good. Section 5 should have been at the start which gave a good overview of pumps and motors and symbols which would assist when doing the course. Being in an industry of working with hydraulics a lot I still took away some very usefull information in this course. I would recommend it although stating its for beginners maybe a little hard to swallow.

    The course is made in a way that anyone can start learning. Everything is broken down to basics. Even the math that I had in college which was confusing was explained in a simple way. I highly recommend to anyone who is interested in the topic. The instructor has more courses on hydraulics which are even better and more advanced.
