The Motion Control Training Department was estab-lished in the early seventies. It was at this time thatthe department’s charter was written. In this docu-ment it was stated that the general area of activitywould include all phases of technical training for thehydraulic and pneumatic industries. This trainingwould be noncommercial, involving state of the arttechnology.

The Parker approach is one of involvement training.In its full scope, involvement training is active partici-pation. This participation results in excellent studentretention, plus a very comfortable way of learning. Ithas been received with great enthusiasm.

Our present efforts involve eleven continually runningcourses. They are:

Industrial Hydraulic Technology 1Industrial Hydraulic Technology 2Hydraulic Component SizingHydraulic Maintenance TechnologyHydraulic Pumps and ControlsMobile Hydraulic TechnologyIntroduction to ElectrohydraulicsElectrohydraulic Feedback SystemsCartridge Valve SystemsBasic Pneumatic TechnologyPneumatic Circuitry

All the above courses have associated texts or visualaids. Also, sets of video tapes and CD-ROMs areavailable.

The success of any training endeavor is difficult tomeasure. However, a few concrete statistics will showthat involvement training is working. For one,customer enrollment has our class registration back-logged. In addition, 500 colleges, universities andtechnical institutions are using our text materials;educational institutions such as Ohio State Univer-sity, Purdue University and Maine Maritime Academy.

Many corporations and government agencies haveadopted our courses to be used in plant to train theirever changing work force. Names like Chrysler,General Motors, Ford, IBM, and Virginia Depart-ment of Highways have all used these programssuccessfully.

If you feel that any of the training materials and/ortraining developed here at Parker could be of use toyou, we welcome your inquiry. We stand ready tobecome INVOLVED WITH YOU.

Industrial Hydraulic Technology 1 and 2Parker Hannifin’s Industrial Hydraulic Technology1 and 2 (IHT1) are completely integrated 3-dayprograms during which you discuss and work withfundamental fluid power principles and formulas, andactually experience the functional characteristics ofthe complete spectrum of hydraulic components.You will be studying and using pumps, flow valves,pressure valves, directional valves, hydraulic motors,filters, cylinders and accumulators. And, because itsdivisions actually manufacture and market all of theseproducts, Parker Hannifin is uniquely qualified to giveyou an in-depth practical knowledge of how to bestuse them in your field. You will receive the broadestand deepest exposure possible during a five-dayperiod.

At least 25% of the time you will be working at theParker Hannifin Portable Hydraulic Trainer Stands.These units were designed and built by ParkerHannifin expressly for this program. They supply youwith all the necessary components – valves, pumps,motor, cylinders, filters, power unit, hoses and gauges– to hook up to working hydraulic circuits and thencheck flows, pressure and velocity. Unlike most othertraining apparatus, the Parker Hannifin stands operateat pressures up to 500 psi so that you can closelysimulate real system conditions.

The balance of your time will be devoted to classroomsessions. But, these are designed for maximuminterest and involvement. There is plenty of livelydiscussion, questions, answers and practical problemsolving.

The Industrial Hydraulic Technology 1 and 2courses are conducted at these Parker Hannifinlocations: Elyria, OH; Irvine, CA; Troy, MI; Milton, ONT,Canada and Calgary, AB, Canada. The course feeincludes the textbooks and use of special equipment.Your meals, transportation and lodging are notincluded. However, Parker Hannifin will be glad toassist you with lodging arrangements.

Hydraulic Component SizingHydraulic Component Sizing (HCS) is ideally suitedfor the new designer and the maintenance and serviceindividual who needs that important step beyondfundamental circuit design; that step that provides amore comprehensive understanding of efficient powertransmission.

Parker Involvement Training Courses

This program, using standard catalog data andstandard formulas creates a benchmark that allowsthe student to objectively analyze the quality of thecircuit in terms of efficiency and energy conservation.You will learn how to overcome problem areas andalso become aware of the proper conditions forselecting components such as pressure compensatedvalves and fixed vs. compensated pumps.

Parker Hannifin has written a special textbook for thiscourse, which you will use during the program as thebasis for your discussions and practical problemsolving.

Since Hydraulic Component Sizing is an analyticalcourse, we want to ensure that all participants have asolid, relatively equal background in basic fluid powertechnology. Completion of Parker’s IndustrialHydraulic Technology 1 and 2 courses are an idealfoundation for understanding and further pursuing themaximum energy savings approach that is key to theHydraulic Component Sizing subject matter.

The Hydraulic Component Sizing course is conductedat these Parker Hannifin locations: Elyria, OH; Troy,MI; Irvine, CA; and Milton, ONT, Canada.


Hydraulic Maintenance TechnologyHydraulic Maintenance Technology (HMT) is ideallysuited for maintenance personnel, engineers, first-linesupervisors and anyone desiring an in-depth under-standing and appreciation of hydraulic systemcomponent operation and troubleshooting techniques.Participants should have completed the IndustrialHydraulic Technology 1 and 2 courses orequivalent.

The topics covered in this four-day program aregraphic symbols of hydraulic components, in whichwe utilize the International Standards Organization(ISO) System; troubleshooting common hydrauliccomponents such as pumps, cylinders, valves, rotaryactuators, hydraulic motors; hose and tube fittingsmaintenance and assembly; and maintenance of fluidpower systems.

The Hydraulic Maintenance Technology course isconducted at the Parker Hannifin location in Elyria,OH. The course fee includes the textbook, templateand use of special equipment. Your meals, transporta-tion and lodging are not included. However, ParkerHannifin will be glad to assist you with lodgingarrangements.




Hydraulic Pumps and ControlsIn Hydraulic Pumps and Controls (HPC) thestudents learn a logical procedure for designingcircuits, not just from the standpoint to make themwork, but to make them work efficiently. This is doneby approaching the entire design with a view towardpower transmission and ultimate circuit efficiency. Thisis accomplished by concentrating on the power unit.That is, the various variable volume pressure compen-sated pumps and numerous pump controls are exam-ined in detail.

An important result of this new Parker design methodis that the student can always obtain a very efficientcircuit. Therefore, it is possible for a group of designersto develop very similar circuits for each set of mech-anical requirements. The only variance will be in thesequential logic and the appearance, which dependsupon which components are selected.

System design is aided by Parker’s hands-onapproach to learning. The course attendees willreceive ample opportunity to practice their newlyacquired skills. Approximately 40% of the class timeis spent in the training lab using the Parker hydraulicpower units and trainer stands. This familiarization withtypical styles of variable volume pressure compen-sated pumps and their controls, ties together thelecture material and the design problem. This practicalapproach to efficient hydraulic systems is easilyfollowed by the attendees as the instructor presentsthe course text material. The instructor supplementsthis material with many years of fluid power industrialinvolvement. Your final benefit is in economy. As weproceed in Hydraulic Pumps and Controls, wedemonstrate that circuits designed with the newmethod are less expensive to operate and maintain.Also included is the Parker Design EngineersHandbook.

To get the most from this course, it is necessary toestablish prerequisites for attendance. This assuresthat everyone participating has approximately equalknowledge of fluid power and can work at a compatiblepace. You should have a working knowledge in the fluidpower field and have previously completed Parker’sHydraulic Component Sizing course.

The Hydraulic Pumps and Controls course isconducted at the Elyria, OH; and Irvine, CA locations.The course fee includes class manual, textbook anduse of special equipment. Your meals, transportation

and lodging are not included. However, Parker Hannifinwill assist you with lodging arrangements.
