Hydraulics 2 Learning System - 96-HYD2

Amatrol’s Hydraulics 2 Learning System (96-HYD2)
The Hydraulics 2 Learning System (96-HYD2) by Amatrol expands on foundational hydraulic training by introducing advanced hydraulic components such as pilot-operated check valves, two-position directional control valves, and telescoping cylinders. This system not only explains the function and theory behind these components but also connects them to real-world applications including elevators, punch presses, backhoes, and more.

This integrated approach—blending theory with hands-on practice—is a hallmark of Amatrol’s learning systems. Learners develop both conceptual knowledge and practical skills, mastering topics like pressure intensification and cylinder regeneration while gaining experience in the operation, installation, design, and troubleshooting of hydraulic components.

Industrial-Grade Components and Durable Design
The 96-HYD2 system features a range of high-quality, real-world components, including:

Directional control valves

Relief valves

Flow control valves

Check valves

Accumulators

All components are mounted on hand-welded, painted, and silk-screened panels, paired with heavy-duty workbenches constructed from premium materials. This ensures a long-lasting, user-friendly, and visually appealing system that mirrors what learners will encounter in industry.

Progressive Learning Path
This system builds on the Hydraulics 1 Learning System (96-HYD) and serves as a bridge to more advanced systems like the Hydraulics 3 Learning System (96-HYD3), which focuses on hydraulic performance analysis and maintenance.

Real-World Applications
The 96-HYD2 emphasizes how its components are used in actual industrial settings:

Dump trucks

Hydraulic presses

Conveyor systems (e.g., soft drink bottling lines)

For instance, learners will explore cam-operated valves, comparing types, construction, and operational use. They’ll learn how such valves enable switching from high to low flow for better control of cylinder speed—critical in applications like injection molding machines. Learners then apply this knowledge hands-on using the included cam valve.

World-Class Curriculum with Optional Interactive Multimedia
Amatrol's curriculum is designed to support both self-paced and traditional classroom instruction. Whether assembling an accumulator circuit or calculating maximum pressure in a pilot-operated check valve, the curriculum provides in-depth guidance for understanding and troubleshooting.

In addition to printed materials, Amatrol offers an interactive multimedia version that includes:

3D animations

Instructional videos

Voiceovers

Interactive quizzes

This multimedia format enhances learning engagement and retention, making complex hydraulic concepts more accessible and understandable.
