Hydraulics and Pneumatics Maintenance
Fluid power systems fail through contamination and leaks far more than through component defect. This course covers reading circuits, diagnosing faults and the cleanliness discipline that determines component life.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01Fluid power principles and system layouts
- 02Reading hydraulic and pneumatic circuit diagrams
- 03Pumps, valves, actuators and their failure modes
- 04Contamination control, filtration and fluid cleanliness
- 05Leak detection, causes and elimination
- 06Systematic fault diagnosis rather than parts swapping
- 07Safe maintenance: stored energy, accumulators and isolation

Planned Preventive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to keep plant running. This course covers the design and running of a preventive maintenance programme: what to maintain, how often, and how to prove the programme is working.
Reliability Centred Maintenance
Reliability centred maintenance asks what each asset must do and what happens when it cannot, then selects maintenance accordingly. This course teaches the analysis method and how to apply it without drowning in paperwork.
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Equipment that fails repeatedly is usually being repaired rather than fixed. This course builds the investigative discipline to trace a failure to its physical, human and system roots and to implement corrections that hold.
