In this animated activity, learners view the following physics concepts in action: force, friction, horsepower, work, power, inefficiency, resistance, inertia, and energy.

Learners examine the differences and similarities between hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Using the principle of Pascal's Law, the learner will interpret the gauge readings in a hydraulic system to determine when the system is operating properly under various load conditions and when there is a defect.

In this animated activity, learners examine the operation of normally open and normally closed valves used in hydraulics. A brief quiz completes the learning object.

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine a depiction of how force is multiplied by a larger cylinder when pressure from a pump is applied to a smaller cylinder. A short quiz completes the activity.

In this animated activity, learners examine the operation of hydraulic directional control valves and the internal components that divert the fluid.

Learners observe the four functions of oil in a hydraulic system.

In this colorful and animated activity, learners examine the four functions provided by a hydraulic reservoir. A brief quiz completes the learning object.

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 activity, learners examine how an adjustable pressure-reducing valve can produce a pressure that is lower at its output than at its input.

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 observe how pressure values throughout a hydraulic system are developed based on pump pressure and the size of the load.

This animated lesson an exercise that enables students to design a ladder logic circuit using a drag-drop function to cause the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to extend and retract.

In this animated activity, users examine the causes of malfunctions in a hydraulic pressure-reducing valve and the problems that result. A short quiz completes the learning object.

In this interactive object, learners examine how work is performed in foot-pounds by a hydraulic system that uses a pump and cylinder. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a hydraulic relief valve and its internal components. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Studies show that more than 75 percent of all hydraulic system failures are a direct result of unclean oil. In this interactive object, learners examine the three primary types of hydraulic system filters. A brief quiz completes the activity.

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.

In this screencast, learners examine the internal structure of an unloading valve. This learning object includes a video clip demonstrating the use of an unloading valve in a metal stamping application.

Learners view an animation of a sequence valve in operation and examine the valve’s internal structure.
