About Pneumatics Training
Fluid power provides the energy necessary to exert mechanical force and drive systems. This course was designed as a general introduction to pneumatic systems. It will teach delegates about the design construction and operation of pneumatic components. Starting with the theory of air and gas laws, pneumatic symbols and circuits, delegates then go on to select components and build circuits making the necessary adjustments for pressure, flow and sequence.
