Understanding fluid power is absolutely essential in advanced manufacturing. Oxygen Education’s Fluid Power
course series introduces learners to fluid power and then teaches them how to apply it in increasingly sophisticated
ways. Anyone involved in manufacturing will benefit from the Principles of Hydraulics (PT303) which introduces
hydraulic power. Those involved directly with manufacturing processes will find that Basic Pneumatics (VXB780) and Basic Hydraulics (VXB831) provide insight and expertise in fluid power application, from basic circuits to
sophisticated speed and pressure control.
Educational institutions offer certificate and degree programs to address the demand for technically sophisticated workers in an online environment accessible 24/7.
Industry partners train workers to stay ahead of the competition without the downtime and costs associated with traditional training.
Workforce development initiatives > cost effectively tailor training to local and individual needs.
Principles of Hydraulics introduces hydraulic power and how it is used in industry. Learners gain an understanding of force, pressure, Pascal’s Law, typical hydraulic components, schematic symbols used for hydraulic components, common manufacturing applications of hydraulics, and safe work practices when using hydraulics.
Basic Pneumatics provides learners with a solid understanding of pneumatic power, starting with an introductory explanation and then moving through how to build pneumatic circuits, understanding the principles of pressure and flow, and applying pneumatic speed control circuits. The course focuses on the practical application and leverage of pneumatics in manufacturing. Learners use unique virtual simulators to build basic pneumatic circuits early in the course and then begin to apply a wide array of pneumatic valves and components to create sophisticated pneumatic applications.
Basic Hydraulics builds skills in hydraulic power application. After introducing hydraulic power and typical hydraulic circuit components, the course teaches learners to build basic hydraulic circuits, read hydraulic schematics, and how the components are used. Basic Hydraulics covers hydraulic schematics, hydraulic leverage, principles of hydraulic pressure and flow, speed control using hydraulics, and pressure control circuits. Using unique virtual simulators, learners experience real manufacturing application of hydraulics.
