Course detail

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Mechanisms

FSI-GHPAcad. year: 2016/2017

The course provides students with basic information about the structure of hydrostatic and pneumatic circuits (power and control circuits). The acquired knowledge is a necessary condition for further work in various technical fields, such as designing and projection of the machinery devices with the assistance of hydraulic and pneumatic components. In the laboratory tutorials the students are made familiar with the particular components used for the structure of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Also dealt will be the functions, properties and characteristics of that circuits. The tutorials will include also practical exercises concerning the synthesis and the analysis of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students acquire general knowledge necessary for: projection and designing of manufacturing machines and devices, mechanization and automation technology by using hydrostatic and pneumatic mechanisms. They are also made familiar with measurement methodology applied for basic characteristics of hydraulic components, and the methods of processing the results in an adequate form of written reports.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of fluid mechanisms and drives in machinary.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work. According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Conditions to obtain the credit:
1. Attendance at laboratory tutorials – 100 %
2. Properly elaborated and approved reports from the laboratory tutorials.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of construction of hydrostatic devices principally from the user aspect. They will be cognizant of properties of already constructed and tested devices, and apply the acquired knowledge in designing and projection of manufacturing machines, industrial robots, manipulators (including peripheral equipment and end effectors), and manipulation devices in general.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The lessons take the form of lectures and it is very helpful to attend them because it is useful for passing the examination.
