Hydraulic Training Systems for Education

Bosch Rexroth’s modular training systems are precisely tailored to the qualification levels required by industrial and educational institutions. Each training system consists of a workstation, the components in the equipment sets, and the exercise books. These systems impart practical knowledge in the field of hydraulics for both beginners and advanced learners. The modular training systems developed by Bosch Rexroth specialists provide beginners and advanced learners with tangible technical know-how and solution expertise. They offer in-depth, practical knowledge that can be experienced using industrial series components. Internationally standardised programming languages and open interfaces are used.

• A training system consists of a workstation system, the respective set of devices and project manuals
• Hands-on technical know-how and solution expertise
• Practical learning experiences at workstations with standard industrial components

• Comprehensive media offering consisting of specialist books, project manuals, e-learning courses, animations and posters
• Modern and digital knowledge transfer

• High-quality training courses with digital learning methods and content for your personal education and professional development
• Learn everything from the basics to expert knowledge

Workstations are used to hold components from the equipment sets for carrying out the practical exercises in the exercise books. Proven quality – Bosch Rexroth designs all workstations based on standard components from various areas of its product portfolio. Expertise in the field of hydraulics is an integral part of these workstations. The safe, robust and durable series components are easy to handle and enable trainees to make a seamless transition to the demands of everyday industrial life. They will encounter these elements again later in their professional careers in machines and systems. Thanks to their wide range of variants, the workstations can be precisely adapted to the respective training topics. This gives both beginners and advanced learners the opportunity to acquire or deepen their technical knowledge step by step in a practical manner.

The Hydraulix 200 benefits from its low entry price and practical compactness. Learning topics such as proportional valve technology and mobile hydraulics are taught on our proven Hydraulix 300 workstation. The multifunctional ‘MAPS’ workstation system can also be expanded to include hydraulics technology. The learning topics of switch hydraulics, pneumatics and automation technology can be covered on our flexible MAPS workstation system. The following table provides an overview of the possible learning topics:

A set of equipment is a collection of components for carrying out practical exercises. There may be several sets of equipment with corresponding exercises for a learning topic.

Extension equipment sets

An extension equipment set refers to the additional equipment required to move from one or more learning topics to the next.

Switching hydraulics, whether manual or electric, play an important role in controlling movements, forces and functions in hydraulic systems. They are used in a wide range of applications, from industrial machinery to vehicles and aircraft. In addition to manual and electric switching hydraulics, the learning topic also covers systematic troubleshooting in hydraulic systems and Industry 4.0 in hydraulics.

Continuous valve technology enables hydraulic systems to be continuously controlled and adjusted, resulting in more efficient operating processes, improved performance and reduced wear. It is used in a wide range of areas, from the automotive industry to industrial manufacturing processes and even in aerospace technology – wherever precise movements are required.This learning topic provides knowledge about the function and effect of the most important components and basic circuits of proportional and control hydraulics, such as learning about a proportional directional control valve and a proportional pressure valve, control units and the associated setpoint transmitters, as well as control valves with on-board electronics and the application of a simple electrohydraulic position control loop.

Mobile hydraulics offers many advantages, including high power density, precise control options, robust construction for use in demanding environments, and easy integration into various mobile applications. It is an essential component of many industries that rely on mobile machines and vehicles to operate efficiently and perform complex tasks.
