MB400 PRINCIPLES OF HYDRAULICS
A Comprehensive, Self-Contained System that Familiarizes
Trainees with Hydraulic Technology and its Applications
TII's instructor-developed curriculum is flexible and features 25 to 30 hours
of instruction in hydraulic components, applications and principles. The
modular format allows self-teach/self-paced or group instruction. The
Physical Properties section combines science and technology as in programs
like the Principles of Technology.
Each lesson requires trainees to conduct an experiment in hydraulic
technology using one or more of the 18 industrial-grade hydraulic components,
including different types of valves, cylinders and measuring instruments. In
the Application Laboratories section of the manual, trainees use the
components to emulate industrial applications.
A complete power supply with a pump and fluid reservoir, together with a work
surface and the components conveniently stored on a panel, provide
everything needed to understand this fluid power technology. The pump is
designed to operate at approximately 25 PSI for safety.
SPECIFICATIONS
The entire learning system is enclosed in a portable and lockable
impact-resistant polyethylene storage case. It consists of an experiment
station, a component kit, a visual aids chart and a set of courseware that
includes a trainee activity manual and an instructor's reference guide.
Experiment Station
The steel reinforced interior lower panel contains a complete hydraulic power
supply and circuit mounting plate. The power supply includes a sealed ½"
clear cast acrylic reservoir with a 3-port return manifold, a centrifugal
pump (with relief line) set at 25 PSI maximum for classroom safety, and a
regulated (0 to 100 PSI) 2-port distribution manifold. The circuit mounting
plate is made of a ½" extruded and anodized aluminum T-slot slider bar and
includes three component mounting brackets and two cylinder mounting
brackets. The entire experiment station can easily be removed from the case
for tabletop use.
Component Kit
The kit includes 18 components and instruments to provide a solid
understanding of hydraulic technology and how it is applied in the real
world. It also includes 11 hoses. Most components are clear for internal
observation. They are trainee mountable for versatility in building circuits
and designing applications as well as for promoting dexterity in their use.
All devices have industrial/laboratory grade poppet check quick-disconnect
fittings. The hoses and components are precharged with oil. The component
storage panel is color coded, clearly labeled and silhouetted for component
identification and inventory. The components are securely mounted but can be
released quickly, and the panel is removable for wall mount or table-top use.
CURRICULUM
The Principles of Hydraulics curriculum was designed and reviewed by a panel
of experienced secondary and post-secondary educators. In addition, the
curriculum received input from industry experts and has been reviewed and
tested in industry. Courseware
includes an instructor's reference guide and a trainee manual with 25 units
of activities and instructional support. The 8 to 10 hours of introductory
instruction are ideally suited for exploratory Technology Education
programs. Each of the three necessary levels of instruction includes
background study of the topic, observational and hands-on experiments,
application exercises, and mathematical formulas for proving results.
Trainees will also develop skills in problem solving, data management,
hydraulic concepts and unit conversion.
Introduction to Hydraulic Components
* The Physical Properties section of the curriculum has been designed to
correlate to the objectives in Principles of Technology by the Center for
Occupational Research and Development.
