- General principles – Similarity to mechanical drives.
- Differentiation between open and closed circuits.
- Pressure – Force – Flow – Speed – Efficiency – Power.
- PRINCIPLES OF COMPONENT CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION / SYMBOLISATION
- High-speed fixed-displacement pumps and motors: Gears, vanes, axial pistons.
- Pressure devices and their functions: Pressure limiter, reducer, balancing valve.
- Flow meters and their functions: Flow limiters, Regulators.
- Distribution: Direct action, pilot-operated action, on/off control.
- Blocking valve: Non-return valves – Parachute valves.
- Symbolisation and application diagrams.
- DEMONSTRATIONS OF FIXED DISPLACEMENT CIRCUITS ON POWER SIMULATORS
- Drive system for cylinder or motor.
- Identifying symbols – Reading application diagrams
- Study of operation – Connection of circuits – Implementation – Settings.

Recommandation
of principals would recommend IFC TRITECH as a training organization.
Quality
This is the percentage of satisfaction obtained after consulting all 2023 trainees on the quality of our training courses.
Pedagogy
This is the score obtained by IFC TRITECH when participants were asked about the suitability of teaching resources for their inter-company training.
Our testimony
We call on IFC TRITECH for training in electricity and hydraulics, so that our technicians can develop their skills in an agile way. IFC TRITECH also provides us with tailor-made training on our runway equipment, which incorporates specific and complex technologies, both in its training centres and on our premises.
All these factors have made IFC TRITECH the preferred training organisation for Air France's ramp equipment division for over 20 years!
For more than 10 years, we have trusted the IFC TRITECH group with our training needs. Their skilled trainers are passionate about their work, which is reflected in the quality of their training courses. Thanks to them, our Loxam technicians develop their knowledge and performance in the field.
For over 20 years, IFC and TRITECH have been the benchmark in the field of hydraulics and lubrication training.
I have met passionate trainers who have enabled me to develop my skills in these areas.
Together with them, we have developed training courses for my employees in the maintenance of unique and complex tools.
