RFQ/OBP333/2025/26

2. Training Objectives The objectives of the training are to: Improve artisans' understanding of fluid power systems Enable artisans to read and interpret schematics Develop hands-on fault-finding and troubleshooting skills Improve machine alignment accuracy, reduce vibration and premature failures Promote safe working practices in industrial environments 3. Target Group Mechanical artisans (Fitters) 4. Training Format & Duration Service providers to propose: Course duration (Service provider to recommend duration) Split between: Classroom theory (30–40%) Hands-on practical training (60–70%) On-site training preferred, alternatively at provider's accredited facility 5. Training Scope & Content A. Pneumatics Training Minimum scope to include: Theory Principles of compressed air systems Air preparation (FRLs, dryers, compressors) Pneumatic symbols & schematic interpretation Actuators, valves, sensors, and control elements Pressure, flow, and force calculations Practical Assembly of pneumatic circuits Directional control & sequencing Fault-finding on leaking, slow, or non-operational systems Preventive maintenance best practices Safe isolation and lock-out procedures B. Hydraulics Training Minimum scope to include: Theory Hydraulic principles and Pascal's Law Hydraulic fluids and contamination control Pumps, valves, cylinders, motors Hydraulic symbols and circuit reading Pressure, flow, and power calculations Practical Building and testing hydraulic circuits Pressure setting and flow control Diagnosing common faults (overheating, cavitation, drift) Seal replacement and component inspection System cleanliness and filtration practices Safe working under high pressure C. Alignment Training Minimum scope to include: Theory Importance of alignment in rotating machinery Types of misalignment (angular, parallel, soft foot) Effects of misalignment (bearing failure, vibration, energy loss) Alignment tolerances and standards Practical Shaft alignment using: Straight edge and feeler gauges Dial indicators Laser alignment equipment (preferred) Pump–motor and gearbox alignment Correction techniques (shimming, adjustments) Alignment documentation and reporting 6.
