MARIN FLUID POWER (MMT 3102)
MODULE 1
Title: Introduction to Hydraulic components.
Objectives:
1) To know valves and devices of hydraulic components.
2) To understand function and application of various valves and devices of hydraulic
components.
3) To understand of hydraulic symbols.
Equipments:
Hydraulic components.
Theory:
Hydraulic system is the technology that deals with the generation, control, and
transmission of power using pressurized fluid. It can be said that fluid power is the
muscle that moves industry. This is because fluid power is used to push, pull, regulate or
drive virtually all the machine of modern industry.
There are six basic component required in a hydraulic system which is; tank to
hold the hydraulic oil, pump to force the oil through the system, an electric motor or other
power source to drive the pump, valve to control oil direction, pressure, and flow rate,
actuator and piping. For this equipment, there are specific symbol. Refer books to
understand the symbols.

Work Instruction:
1)

Observe all the components mounted on the front panel,(basic and advanced
hydraulic).

2)

Then, justify list of components below;
