DESCRIPTION:

This course describes the operating principles of hydrostatic transmissions. This two-day program familiarizes students with the operation, adjustment, start-up and troubleshooting of hydrostatic transmissions.


COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completing this program, students will be able to:
  • Identify the main components of hydrostatic transmissions and describe their functions
  • Explain how a hydrostatic transmission works
  • Efficiently and safely adjust the protective devices, the mechanical and hydraulic NULL on Sundstrand Series 20 and 90 pumps and loop flushing valves
  • Relate the symptoms of various failures to probable causes and perform the necessary checks

COURSE OUTLINE
  • General operating principles of hydrostatic transmissions
  • Examples of various hydrostatic transmission applications
  • Internal mechanism of Sundstrand Series 20 and 90 pumps
  • Presentation of various pump controls used in the industry
    • Mechanical controls
    • Mechanical controls
    • Electrical controls (using a programmable controller with adjustment functions: min. current, max. current, ramps, etc.)
  • Overview of available catalogues
  • Sundstrand Series 51 variable displacement motors and controls (break pressure defeat, pressure compensator override, etc.)
  • Adjustment methods, instructor demonstration and hands-on lab
  • Start-up procedure for hydrostatic systems
  • Diagnostic and data acquisition methods
  • Hands-on lab using our 150 HP test stands (Québec City only) 
    • Adjustment and troubleshooting of Sundstrand Series 20 and 90 pumps
Who should attend: This course is designed for individuals directly involved in the design, maintenance, operation or troubleshooting of hydrostatic transmissions.
