Amatrol’s Intermediate Hydraulics training system (85-IH) introduces advanced hydraulic components (pilot-operated check valves, two-position directional control valves, telescoping cylinders, etc.), explains how each works, and then shows how they relate to real-world applications in elevators, punch presses, backhoes, and many more. This approach to curriculum is an Amatrol signature: reinforce both theory and practice to produce a well-rounded understanding of the topic. Learners will be able to understand concepts like pressure intensification and cylinder regeneration while also being able to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot hydraulic components.
Intermediate Hydraulics includes directional control valves, relief valves, a flow control valve, a check valve, and an accumulator. Amatrol training systems use industrial-grade components displayed on hand-welded, painted and silk-screened panels, and workbenches made from top-flight materials. This precise attention to quality and detail ensures a tough, visually appealing, user-friendly design that will last for years and help learners gain experience with components they’ll actually see on the job.
The skills and principles offered in Intermediate Hydraulics build on the fundamentals taught by the Basic Hydraulics (85-BH), but also lead to additional, more advanced learning systems such as Advanced Hydraulics (85-AH) and Electro-Hydraulics (85-EH). The advanced hydraulics training system teaches learners about hydraulic performance analysis and maintenance, while the electro-hydraulics training system (which is used in several exercises with the intermediate hydraulics training system) introduces electrical relay control of hydraulic systems.
Amatrol’s Intermediate Pneumatics Training System (85-IP) builds on basic pneumatic skills by introducing more advanced concepts such as air logic, ways to decelerate a pneumatic cylinder, and how to prevent condensation in a pneumatic circuit. Learners will have the opportunity to study these concepts while working with a hands-on training module, which enables practicing skills such as connecting and operating a two-way valve and changing an air filter element; this approach of simultaneously teaching theory and practice reinforces each element and results in a thorough understanding of the topic.
The Intermediate Pneumatics training system includes directional control valves, check valve, pneumatic cylinder, Venturi block, assorted filter elements, and much more. Amatrol’s commitment to using top-flight, industry-standard materials ensures that learners work with components they’ll actually see on the job. This attention to quality and detail culminates in a durable, attractive, user-friendly industrial training system that will last for years.
After completing the Intermediate Pneumatics curriculum, learners can continue to build on these skills by moving on to Amatrol’s Advances Pneumatics (85-AP) and the Pneumatics Troubleshooting (950-PT1) training systems. Advanced Pneumatics covers topics such as motor loads, pneumatic cylinder loads, and quick exhaust valves, while Pneumatic Troubleshooting is the first product to offer a realistic troubleshooting experience for learners because the faults are inserted throughout the system.
Amatrol’s Basic Electrical Machines Learning System (85-MT2) teaches electric machines commonly found in industrial, commercial, and residential applications: single phase AC motors, three-phase AC electric motors, and DC electric motors. Learners practice industry-relevant skills including operation, installation, analyzing performance, industrial motor wiring, and selecting electric machines for various applications.
The 85-MT2 features a number of industrial machines, including an AC multi-purpose single phase motor, a split phase motor, a DC motor/generator, and a 3-phase induction motor. This learning system also includes an integrated base test unit, lead set, prony brake, handheld clamp-on multimeter, handheld digital multimeter, world-class curriculum, and a student reference guide. This system uses industrial quality wiring schematic components both to help learners become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job and to withstand frequent use.
Amatrol’s DC Generators Learning System (85-MT2B) teaches industry-relevant DC generator skills, including how to operate, install, analyze performance, and select generators for various applications. A generator is a device that creates DC electricity and can be found in diesel locomotives, as well as aircraft and marine systems. The DC generators training system requires the Basic Electrical Machines Learning System (85-MT2), as well as 208 VAC/60 Hz/3 phase power.
This industrial motor training system includes resistive load and inductive load units that connect to the DC generator supplied with the 85-MT2 to provide operation under various types of loads. Learners will use these components to study topics such as DC series generators, DC shunt generators, and DC compound generators. Amatrol learning systems feature a perfect combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on skill building to reinforce each in a learner’s mind and strengthen comprehension for more advanced skills.
Amatrol’s Alternator/Synchronous Motor Learning System (85-MT2C) adds to the Basic Electrical Machines Learning System (85-MT2) to teach skills related to alternators and synchronous motors commonly found in industrial applications. Alternators provide a mobile source of AC electrical power while synchronous motors reduce power costs by correcting the overall power factor in a plant. Learners will study industry-relevant skills in industrial motor training, including how to operate, install, and analyze the performance of alternators and synchronous motors.
The alternator and synchronous motor training system includes capacitive load, combination synchronous motor/alternator, and synchronizing lights/switch units. The capacitive load unit combines with the 85-MT2 to provide operation under various types of loads. In addition to industrial components, this training system includes in-depth curriculum, an instructor’s guide, and a student reference guide. The highly-interactive, multimedia curriculum covers major topical areas such as alternator output voltage and frequency, three dark synchronization method, and reversing a synchronous motor.
Amatrol’s Wound Rotor Motor Learning System (85-MT2D) covers the function, operation, and performance characteristics of wound rotor motors. While variable frequency drives (VFDs) and standard induction motors have replaced wound rotor motors in many applications, these motors are still used for heavy-duty, high torque applications such as industrial cranes and hoists. Amatrol’s wound rotor motor training system requires the Basic Electrical Machines Learning System (85-MT2) for use.
Wound rotor motor training includes a wound rotor speed controller, a wound rotor motor, banana leads, in-depth multimedia curriculum, an installation guide, and a student reference guide. These components will be used to study topics such as wound rotor speed control, performance characteristics, and motor reversing.
