In this animated activity, learners study how a PLC performs a shift operation. The learning object covers data movement, data entry, PLC wiring, PLC shift register introductions, and programming for a paint can operation.

Students read how to calculate the size of a hydraulic cylinder that is required for a particular application. Mathematical formulas are provided.

In this animated activity, learners observe how pressure values throughout a hydraulic system are developed based on pump pressure and the size of the load.

The learner will understand the operation of motor control circuits used to start and stop three-phase motors.

This animated lesson shows several ways that a hydraulic pressure switch, connected in a ladder circuit, causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to perform various applications.

In this animated activity, learners examine how cavitation occurs in a hydraulic pump. A video clip is included. Learners then test their knowledge in a brief quiz.

In this animated object, learners examine how aeration develops in a hydraulic pump. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners read an explanation of the color code used on schematic diagrams for hydraulic circuits. Circuit examples for each color are shown.

In this interactive object, learners examine how hydraulic oil is contaminated, the types of damage contamination can cause, and the methods used to clean the oil.
