INT 40180 - Pneumatic Troubleshooting

0.33 CR
Pneumatic cylinders often fail because their rods are exposed to the atmosphere. This creates the potential for dirt and dust to enter the system, as well as for the load to damage a cylinder, such as binding the rods or bending them. Pneumatic motors and shock absorbers for heavier loads are also sources of system failure. The maintenance person needs to know how to adjust shock absorbers so that they are functioning properly. In this module, the student will perform two labs in order to learn troubleshooting techniques for pneumatic devices.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Perform maintenance functions safely.
  2. Investigate different production methodologies and their importance in manufacturing.
  3. Develop preventative and prediction maintenance programs.
  4. Identify and install individual components used in pneumatic circuits
  5. Identify and install individual components used in hydraulic circuits
  6. Maintain/repair pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
