| Course objectives: |
| The Pneumatics and Hydraulics course is focusing on pneumatics-, electro-pneumatics, hydraulic and electrohydraulic system as a part of an actuator in a mechatronic system. The course will emphasize basic theory, components sizing, construction and function, how to read pneumatics and fluid power circuit diagrams using the correct symbols and troubleshooting techniques. |
