Course Objectives The aim of this course is to describe the information about the design, technical drawing, project design, installation and use of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, which are the building blocks of industrial automation. The working principles of the basic hydraulic and pneumatic system components will be given.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe the role and advantages of fluid power in automation.
  • Explain the basic hydraulic and pneumatic energy generation stages
  • Identify hydraulic and pneumatic system circuit components.
  • Design circuits using symbols of circuit elements and project files of the systems.
  • Define electrohydraulic, electropneumatic and PLC controlled hydraulic and pneumatic systems used in modern automation systems.
  • Analyze hydraulic and pneumatic systems, about safety, troubleshooting and maintenance.
Course Description This course teaches the basic features of industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems and the behavior of these systems in the production stages with automation machines. It covers the basic concepts of circuit design, equipment sizing and selection by application.
