Amatrol’s Portable Basic Hydraulics Learning System (990-BH1) allows learners to gain skills by studying basic hydraulic circuits, pressure control circuits, hydraulic schematics, and sequence valves. Also, given the compact nature of the Portable Basic Hydraulics system, you can teach hydraulics in a limited space for the first time. This learning system allows learners to study and practice how to read a pressure gauge, as well as the liquid level and temperature in the reservoir, connecting hydraulic circuits, operating a bi-directional hydraulic motor, converting between absolute and gauge pressure, and connecting and adjusting the pressure setting of a pressure relief valve (PRV).

Portable Basic Hydraulics includes gauges, manifolds, cylinders, valves (relief/sequence, pressure reducing, check, directional control, etc.), flow meter, and hydraulic motor. The components of this portable trainer are all industrial quality, not only to ensure durability but also to help learners become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job. All Amatrol products are made from top-notch materials and carefully crafted to create tough, attractive, well-designed learning systems that facilitate learning and will serve teachers and learners for years. Amatrol uses components that learners will find on the job to give the best opportunity to build confidence and industrial competencies.

Real-World Applications for Hydraulics Principles

Portable Basic Hydraulics has a remarkably small footprint, allowing hydraulics to be taught in spaces that precluded that training previously. Its components are all industrial quality to ensure durability and help learners become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job. Learners will use these components to practice vital hydraulics skills, such as: connecting and adjusting a flow control valve to control the speed of an actuator; designing an independent speed control circuit and two-speed actuator circuit; and operating a double-acting cylinder, and operating an integral check valve.

Robust Portable Case

The 990-BH1: Mobile, Durable, Efficient

Set within a durable ABS plastic case, the 990-BH1 features wheels and a handle to create a completely mobile learning experience. This highly-efficient learning system also includes a lock for safety and a storage pouch on the inside cover for loose components, such as hydraulic hoses. Additionally, the system’s front cover is easily removable, enabling the case to sit upright on a flat surface for more convenient use. It will be a breeze to transport the learning system and store it.

The curriculum also features a virtual trainer option that allows learners to gain skills through realistic simulation before using the real equipment. The combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills solidifies understanding and creates a strong basis for pursuing more advanced skills.

Interactive Curriculum and Hands-On Skills

This learning system also includes Amatrol’s world-class multimedia curriculum, which combines strong theoretical knowledge and concepts with hands-on skills for the best industrial competency-building on the market. This thorough, exceptionally detailed curriculum is built, to begin with the basics and steadily advance to more complex concepts and skill. The Portable Basic Hydraulics Learning System teaches learners not only how to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot basic hydraulics for various applications, but also to understand concepts like flow rate versus cylinder speed and pressure versus cylinder force. Portable Basic Hydraulics’ curriculum covers major objectives like pumps, gauges, hydraulic motors, cylinders, and numerous valves, including schematic symbols for each component, creating the ability to read and draw hydraulic schematics.

Student Reference Guide

A sample copy of the Portable Basic Hydraulics Student Reference Guide is also included with the system for your evaluation. Sourced from the system’s multimedia curriculum, the Student Reference Guide takes the entire series’ technical content contained in the learning objectives and combines them into one perfectly-bound book. Student Reference Guides supplement this course by providing a condensed, inexpensive reference tool that learners will find invaluable once they finish their training making it the perfect course takeaway.
