Subject syllabus

1. Industrial hydraulics – applications, pressure-fluid source, types of fluids, open hydraulic circuit.
2. Hydraulic pumps, accessories of a hydraulic power unit.
3. Hydraulic motors – linear and rotary, sealing, calculation. Pressure-fluid conduits.
4. Hydraulic directional and flow-control valves – for controlling direction and flow rate; pressure-control valves; valve-based control. Procedure for designing an open hydraulic circuit.
5. Mobile hydraulics – applications, closed hydraulic circuit, hydrostatic transmission, displacement control.
6. Pneumatic mechanisms in industry – examples of applications. Air as a medium – production and treatment of compressed air. Working elements of pneumatic systems – linear and rotary actuators, grippers.
7. Components for controlling pneumatic mechanisms – directional valves, pressure and logic valves, valve terminals for electropneumatic systems. Examples of technical drawings.
8. Rope transport systems – winches and lifts (with friction pulleys, drum and turn-round).
9. Rope transport systems – cranes (bridge crane, tower crane, portal-type crane, pillar crane, special) and cable cars (single-rope and double-rope).
10. Chain transport systems – moving walkways and stairs, link chain transport system.
11. Chain transport systems – bucket elevator, tube chain and suspension transport system.
12. Belt transport systems – classic transport systems – layout, construction, function.
13. Belt conveyor systems – special conveyor systems – Flexowell, with cover belt, rope belt.
