Basic Hydraulics Learning System

Introduces the Fundamental Hydraulic Principles

Item Number:

BH-85

Because hydraulic power is used in everything from automotive brakes to industrial robots, the skills taught by Amatrol’s Basic Hydraulics Learning System (85-BH) opens doors to careers in fields, such as manufacturing, transportation, agricultural, and construction. Basic Hydraulics training introduces the fundamental hydraulic principles, such as pressure and flow, while simultaneously teaching industry-relevant hydraulic skills; this signature Amatrol approach to curriculum reinforces both theory and practice, which produces a well-rounded understanding of the topic.

Basic Hydraulic training includes gauges, manifolds, cylinders, valves (relief/sequence, pressure reducing, check, directional control), flow meter, and hydraulic motor. These components are all industrial quality to ensure durability and help learners become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job. All Amatrol products are made from top-notch materials and carefully crafted (hand-welded, painted, and silk-screened) to create tough, attractive, well designed industrial training systems that facilitate learning and will serve teachers and students for years.

Real World Industrial Hydraulic Applications

Within the Basic Hydraulics curriculum, students begin studying the physical principles of hydraulics and how hydraulic mechanisms used in real-world applications. From this building block, students begin hydraulic circuit construction, which gradually increases in difficulty and number of industry-standard components as the curriculum goes along. By taking this approach, students will understand each component’s function in a circuit, which makes hydraulic troubleshooting easier in later lessons and on more advanced training systems. Students also study pumps, gauges, hydraulic motors, cylinders, and numerous valves, including schematic symbols for each component, creating the ability to read and draw their own hydraulic schematics.

Industrial Standard Fluid Power Components

Each Basic Hydraulics training system features standard industrial-grade components. This attention to quality gives students experience they would normally only get on-the-job by helping them recognize industrial components and how to troubleshoot them more effectively. Components included with Basic Hydraulics are pre-mounted on circuit panels with silk-screened labels next to each, which facilitates ease of use and identification. Additionally, the system’s orderly, user-friendly design helps learners to easily recognize how each component fits into a hydraulic circuit.

Basic Hydraulics Multimedia (NB831)

Within the basic hydraulics training curriculum, students begin by studying the physical principles of hydraulics and how hydraulic mechanisms used in real-world applications. From this building block, learners begin constructing hydraulic circuits, which gradually increase in difficulty and number of industry-standard components as the curriculum goes along. Students will also study pumps, gauges, hydraulic motors, cylinders, and numerous valves, including schematic symbols for each component, creating the ability to read and draw hydraulic schematics. Amatrol’s hydraulics curriculum is presented in an interactive multimedia format. This format features stunning 3D animations, video, voiceovers, and interactive quizzes. This multimedia also includes the basic hydraulics virtual trainer that recreates hydraulic equipment in such realistic detail that learners can seamlessly transition to actual hands-on equipment.

Expanded Teaching Options

Learners can build on the skills they have acquired from Basic Hydraulics by moving onto the Intermediate (85-IH) and Advanced (85-AH) Amatrol Hydraulics, as well as the Electro-Hydraulics (85-EH). For convenience, Amatrol offers Basic Hydraulics (85-BH) as part of the Basic Hydraulics package (850-H1), which also includes an Amatrol workstation (850-CTB) that features welded-steel frame construction for durability, lockable casters for mobility, slide-in storage racks, and the Hydraulic Power Unit (85-HPS).

Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources

Agriculture can be considered one of the oldest industries in th world tracing its origin back 12,000 years. What started with small groups of people in various locations figuring out how to domesticate animals and grow their food has become a multi-trillion-dollar global industry.

Over the last few centuries, sparked by a series of industrial revolutions, significant changes have taken place throughout the industry that has shaped agriculture as we know it today. Machinery has replaced manual processes and hand tools. Additionally, technological advances, including computers and the Internet, have enabled agricultural machines and procedures to be more productive and efficient.

As technology continues to advance, agriculture must keep evolving to ensure that productivity keeps pace with an ever-expanding world population. Today’s agricultural experts need experience with more types of technology than ever before.

Agricultural mechanics is a critical component of robust and relevant agriscience programs. With the right equipment, educators can demonstrate how to construct and repair equipment, buildings, and facilities by following architectural and mechanical plans, show mechanical equipment and power systems, and teach hydraulic and pneumatic systems service and repair.

Plants, farms, and animals are the main functions of agriculture. Still, there are additional opportunities in this field. This career pathway covers a variety of careers - ranging from animal science and veterinary science to metal technologies/welding, oil and gas production systems, and energy & natural resources.

Students need the opportunity to apply physical science principles to their studies with an agricultural mechanics career track that covers:

Agricultural systems including equipment, power systems, alternative fuel sources and precision technology
Welding trainers, CNC tables, and hydraulics training systems are all key components to the formula that makes up a robust educational program
Food Production & Processing Systems
Natural and Rewable Resource Systems
Animal Systems, Veterinary Programs

Our learning programs develop job-ready skills that have been proven time and again. Take a look at how we can help you be successful!

Colleges are challenged to offer courses whenever students are available – and frequently, wherever they are available. Students want courses that are available on campus as well as from home while also providing strong hands-on skills for the technology demands facing them. Meeting these demands is no small task.

Amatrol has learning programs that allow colleges to excel in this demanding environment. We offer a full range of learning systems, both in a traditional equipment lab setting as well as in a virtual lab, that meet and exceed students' expectations.
