Something New ... The Virtual Classroom

The Fluid Power World digital media network will be launching a new learning tool called The Virtual Classroom.


The first lesson in our Virtual Classroom series is titled "Give Your Cylinder a Bath - Hydraulic System Cleanliness from the Cylinder and Beyond and it will be presented by Tony Casassa of Aggressive Hydraulics.  The classroom opens on August 30th, but, being virtual, it will stay open.  You can access the information for free at any time from the Fluid Power World website.

Here is a brief preview of the lesson:

In the fluid power industry, hydraulic cylinders have a reputation for contributing to fluid contamination and the resultant wear and failures. Indeed, there are several opportunities in the process of manufacturing cylinders for contamination to be introduced. However, it is possible to overcome the obstacles and provide a product the meets the customer's hydraulic cleanliness expectations. We will share some lessons we have learned in our journey which will be relevant for all aspects of our industry: component manufacturers, OEMs, end users, and service & repair.

Participating in this Virtual Classroom will prepare you to:

  • Read an oil ISO cleanliness code and determine appropriate cleanliness level for a hydraulic system
  • Understand the challenges in manufacturing hydraulic components that meet demanding cleanliness requirements
  • Apply new methods to filtering and maintaining the cleanliness of a hydraulic system
Tony has been a presenter at our Fluid Power Technology Conference on this very topic:


You can register now and attend for free on August 30th or anytime after that.  Here is a link for your registration 

I hope you will take the lesson and send me some feedback on how you liked it.
