Course Outline:
This Mechanical Maintenance Skills curriculum provides trainees with the courseware materials required to enable them to perform the tasks associated with a Fluid Power Systems Technician. This print-based curriculum has been developed to meet the subject requirements of either an apprenticeship or an organizations skills program. When combined with on-the-job training, this program will provide trainees with the comprehensive skills and knowledge they will need to perform in this trade area. The Fluid Power Systems Technician curriculum starts with comprehensive training in pre-technical study and fundamental industrial skill courses. It progresses into mechanical maintenance principles and applications, fluid power and hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and industrial robotics systems. Operations and maintenance skills are emphasized in this curriculum. This curriculum is appropriate for entry-level and experienced workers alike. Specific plants may have unique skill and training needs derived from their operations and equipment. To fit some of these needs, representative course outlines have been suggested for this program in the instrumentation and process control, machinist and metalworking, industrial pipe fitting, and introductory welding trades areas. An Electrical Maintenance Skills curricula is suggested for those plants initiating a cross-training program. The Fluid Power Systems Technician curriculum can be combined with the Power Transmission Systems Technician curriculum to form a comprehensive mechanical maintenance skills program. Upon completion of this curriculum, students will be able to:
  • Locate, identify, and interpret legends, linetypes, parts symbols, and types of drawings used in reading mechanical shop prints.
  • Identify, describe, remove, replace, install, and maintain common types of bearings and seals.
  • Match lubrication methods and materials to their applications and identify their implementation and maintenance requirements.
  • Explain the principles of fluid power, fluid flow, and fluid symbols and diagrams.
  • Explain hydraulic pumping principles and how the common types of hydraulic pumps, motors, and peripheral devices work.
  • Troubleshoot and maintain hydraulic circuits and systems.
  • Explain the properties of air, the basic laws of gases, and pneumatic principles.
  • Identify, describe, maintain, and troubleshoot the basic components of a pneumatic system.
  • Describe the applications, components, and technology used in a basic industrial robot system.
