The course teaches you how liquid and air create movement and force in mechanical equipment and machines. You gain knowledge of the properties of hydraulic fluids, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinders, as well as air treatment systems and air preparation. You learn to interpret, design, connect and test basic pneumatic circuits and to maintain and troubleshoot pneumatic components and control systems. The course is part of TUC's automation engineer programme.
Duration: 3 weeks
Language: Swedish
Level: Intermediate
CSN-eligible
Time commitment: Equivalent to about 3 weeks of full-time study
In the course, students learn how liquid and air create movement and force in mechanical
equipment and machines. The course covers the properties of hydraulic fluids, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors and
hydraulic cylinders, as well as air treatment systems and air preparation. Students learn
to interpret, design, connect and test basic pneumatic circuits, and to maintain and
troubleshoot pneumatic components and control systems. After the course, students should be able to describe
the function and construction of pneumatic components and independently propose technical solutions for
hydrostatic systems linked to the professional role of Automation Engineer.
