Design fluid power systems
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to fluid power systems across all forms of manufacturing and engineering. Design activities may also include reverse engineering, design rectification or modifications of an existing design. It is suitable for fluid power system and automation designers and maintenance personnel, and those pursuing engineering or related qualifications and careers.
Prior experience in evaluation of fluid power systems and hydrodynamics, mathematics, computer techniques, basic electrical and controllers is required.
This unit of competency covers the design of fluid power systems, including pneumatic multi-actuator control systems; hydraulic systems, including hydrostatic transmissions, proportional and servo valve control, and programmable logic controllers (PLC). It includes occupational health and safety (OHS), regulatory requirements, automation safety and systematic design processes. Design considerations include dynamic loads and optimised control system response and stability.
