- Brief description
In mobile hydraulic machines, hydraulic drives and controls are of particular importance as cross-sectional technology. The requirements of mobility (no stationary infrastructure) require application-specific solutions from the concept to the component.
Based on the general hydraulic principles, typical drive trains from the agricultural sector are presented in particular.
- Teaching and learning outcomes
- Hydraulic principles
- Hydrostatic drive
- Pump circuits (energy supply systems): Constant current, constant pressure and load sensing
- Mobile hydraulic components
- Application examples (forestry, agricultural and construction machinery)
- Dynamics of hydraulic drives and controls
- Example: hydraulic position control
- Overall workload
The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
