Certified Hydraulic Oil Specialist
Hydraulic fluids transmit forces, control, lubricate, cool, protect against corrosion and ensure the removal of impurities. In their work, the all-rounders have to meet ever greater challenges, such as higher pressures, rising operating temperatures, dynamic volume flows and, at the same time, increased demands on system availability and sustainability.
Our certificate course provides you with in-depth insights into the special requirements of modern hydraulic systems in order to ensure the economical and reliable operation of your hydraulic systems in the long term.
The course’s main focuses include the thorough selection of the optimal hydraulic fluid, taking into account the specific system requirements of various applications. Concrete, typical use cases will illustrate that the minimum requirements set according to relevant DIN or ISO standards are not sufficient to operate modern systems economically and sustainably. At the same time, your speaker Rüdiger Krethe will show you which parameters are of particular importance when selecting oil, laying the foundation for reliable plant operation. Also, the reliable adjustment of oil change intervals, early detection of wear and malfunctions, clarification of causes of damage, the benefits of oil analysis, and an optimized oil care based on it for proactive maintenance are at the center of attention.
