FLPW2301 Mobile Circuit Design
This course combines all the curricula in the Fluid Power Technology program. Students will evaluate mobile hydraulic, pneumatic, and electronic components and circuits. Power steering circuits will be discussed. Hydrostatic drives will be investigated and developed as part of a system design. A complete schematic will be developed for hydraulic drives circuits, power steering and accessories. The students will determine engineering specifications, select the components, pump and actuators. This course is intended for individuals involved with service and design of off-road mobile equipment.
