GPM Hydraulic Consulting is proud to announce
the development of our Maintenance Hydraulic Troubleshooting course in the form
of interactive CD training. This self-paced study course, while still no
substitute for instructor-led training, is the most comprehensive and practical
hydraulic troubleshooting e-learning course available. Packed with
easy-to-understand animations and interactive work exercises, this
troubleshooting course on CD is the perfect solution whenever budgets or
scheduling do not allow for an instructor-led class. The course is
narrated by our own knowledgeable, experienced instructors and contains enhanced
versions of the actual PowerPoint presentations used in our live seminars.
Students may work at their own pace using the CD's and our Maintenance Hydraulic
Troubleshooting Workbook as their guides. Interactive work
exercises at the end of each section help to ensure full comprehension and
retention of the presented knowledge. There is no finer study and
reference tool than GPM's Maintenance Hydraulic Troubleshooting On
CD. The CD's will work on Windows platforms only - Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows
NT and Windows XP. Included is the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, so it is
NOT necessary that your computer have Microsoft PowerPoint installed.
Hydraulic Fundamentals
- On this CD the student learns how pressure affects force and pump volume
determines the speed of a cylinder and motor. The most common problem
in most plants is that pressures are adjusted to increase speed which
results in overheating, leakage, wasted electrical power and
damage to the machine. A thorough understanding of pressure and
volume is essential prior to troubleshooting any hydraulic problem.
The student also earns how to size pumps, cylinders, pipes, and electric
motors on this informative CD. How and why a hydraulic system
heats up is explained and demonstrated in detail.
$250
Hydraulic Pumps
- This animation-packed CD shows the operation and troubleshooting of
gear, vane and piston type pumps. The student learns the specific
procedures for setting the relief valves and pump compensators in any
hydraulic system. You'll also learn the quickest and easiest checks
to make on any pump to verify that it is bad before it is changed.
This CD will pay for itself 5-10 times over if you prevent the
changing of one single pump!
$250
Directional Valves, Check
Valves and Pressure Controls - All different types of directional valves are discussed including their
proper schematic symbols and unique properties and applications.
Troubleshooting solenoids and valve spools, even two stage piloted valves,
all in a language that is easy to understand. Check Valves, the
simplest type of directional valve, are also covered in depth describing
their use both as directional and pressure controls. How they
usually fail and the symptoms they will show when they do are all
covered. A full discussion of Pressure Controls with illustrations and descriptions of the most
common types are all included on this CD. Both normally open and normally closed
valves are covered along with the symptoms to look for when they fail.
$250
Accumulators and Flow Controls
- The mysteries of the most dangerous hydraulic component, the Accumulator,
are all solved in this, the most easy-to-understand explanation ever
given. These powerful energy
storage devices are covered in depth including bladder, piston and diaphragm
accumulators, how to properly pre-charge them, how to tell when they have
failed and detailed safety instructions. Also, fixed orifice, variable orifice needle valves, pressure compensating and
temperature compensating flow controls are all discussed in detail including
meter-in, meter-out and bleed-off installations and how to diagnose problems
in them.
$250
Hydraulic Motors, Servo
and Proportional Valves and the Hydrostatic Drive - Single direction, bi-directional and radial piston
design motors are
covered. Symptoms to look for when a hydraulic motor fails and how it
will affect the operation of other motors in a machine when connected in
series or parallel and how the application determines if the motor should be
internally or externally drained. This section also contains a
discussion of crossport relief valves, brake valves and flow dividers.
The first truly understandable discussion of Servo and Proportional valves
is also included on this CD. Never change a servo or proportional valve before
completing this course. Included are full instructions for diagnosing
problems before changing the valves and a detailed discussion of how to change
these delicate valves without contaminating the system. And at last, an understandable discussion of the hydrostatic drive and how to
troubleshoot it. Explained in a way that the layman can understand,
the hydrostatic drive will no longer be a mystery to technicians after
reading this section.
$250
Fluid Maintenance
- The functions of the fluid, its properties and how to take care of the
fluid for maximum oil life. Proper care and cleaning of the reservoir
and its associated components. Oil analysis, how to take the sample
and how to read the results. Filters and when they should be
replaced. Dirt alarms and why they should not necessarily be relied
upon. Leaks and their causes. All of this and more is covered
fully in this information-packed CD.

Maintenance Hydraulic
Troubleshooting
Workbook
by C. A. Smiley, Jr.
This Maintenance Hydraulic Troubleshooting
manual has become
the standard of excellence in hundreds of mills across the United States and
Canada over the past ten years. This manual is used in GPM's Maintenance
Basic Hydraulic Troubleshooting workshop to train many thousands of mechanics,
millwrights, pipefitters, electricians and other maintenance personnel.
Almost 300 pages of informative, practical hydraulic troubleshooting information
are contained within its covers. Unlike most hydraulic books, this manual
contains the information that the hydraulic troubleshooter needs to know.
Whether the reader is a novice to hydraulics or an experienced veteran, the
information in this book will increase troubleshooting skills and increase
efficiency, both in parts cost savings and decreased down time by teaching the
concept of troubleshooting from the schematic. Even students who have
never seen a hydraulic schematic have learned to use them effectively to
troubleshoot very complex hydraulic machines. This
manual has literally turned thousands of parts changers into
troubleshooters. It is packed with valuable information that will save many times its cost,
and it is included ABSOLUTELY FREE with the purchase of one or more of our
interactive training CD's above.
The most comprehensive, practical and easy-to-understand
hydraulic troubleshooting e-course and manual available anywhere at any price. This
package will pay for itself before the student even finishes it!
