Last year, Fluid Power World partnered with the experts at Lunchbox Sessions to promote special, free YouTube Live training sessions to bring accessible fluid power training to the world during lockdown. And although many people are back at work, there is always a need for quality education on hydraulic systems, so we are continuing this partnership. LunchBox Sessions YouTube Live will return four times this summer and fall, on Tuesdays June 24, July 22 and September 2 and Thursday, September 28 at 12 p.m. EDT, in which Carl Dyke will use operating cutaways and his popular Live Schematics to bring hydraulic technologies to life.
Tune in for the summer sessions listed below:
June 24, 12 PM EST
Hydrostatic Drives — Get ready for some hydrostatic fun as Carl takes you around a closed-loop, hydrostatic system in real life and in simulation mode. You’ll want to keep your system from overheating this summer and pose a question or two about function and maintenance in this interactive YouTube Live event on June 24.
July 22, 12 PM EST
Load Holding and Motion Control Valves — Don’t go into freefall! Keep control of load lowering and load holding with counterbalance valves, pilot operated check valves and other types of load control valves. Carl is looking forward to a conversation with you during this YouTube Live event on July 22.
After a break in August, Dyke will return with two Live presentations on September 2, with Electronic Controls and Sensors for Hydraulic Systems and September 28, with Extra Pressure and Extra Flow (Intensifiers and Accumulators).
Attendees can interact throughout the live video by logging into their Google or YouTube account. Questions and comments can be posed to Dyke this way.
