Model #MF200-CAV

Pump Cavitation Trainer

The FP-MF200-CAV simulator is the most advanced trainer in the world for teaching students everything they need to know about cavitation, its common causes, and its devastating effect on a hydraulic system.

Much thought went into the design of this training masterpiece. The transparent reservoir, transparent pump suction line, and transparent pump outlet port transmission line are backlit to enhance the stunning visual impact this simulator offers.

Students learn:

  • How the inlet side of a hydraulic pump works
  • Why it is critical to establish a “trend” for pump inlet restriction
  • How and why cavitation occurs
  • Safe and effective diagnostic procedures for determining the root-cause of cavitation

Description

Educational Advantages

Designed to demonstrate the following:

  • Normal pump inlet restriction
  • Abnormally high pump inlet restriction
  • Abnormally low pump inlet restriction
  • What occurs when oil is discharged above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir
  • What occurs when the pump inlet is too close to the surface of the oil – vortex.

Learning Activities
The MF200-CAV Pump Cavitation Simulator will teach students the following:

  • Physics associated with the operation of a hydraulic pump
  • How the inlet side of a hydraulic pump works
  • How design influences the amount of restriction at the inlet side of a pump
  • Common design “oversights” when designing hydraulic pump intakes
  • Why it is critical to know what a particular pump’s normal inlet restriction is
  • What role altitude plays in the operation at the inlet side of a pump
  • What causes pump inlet restriction to increase to a level that can cause cavitation, the most common cause of abnormally high inlet restriction
  • What causes pump inlet restriction to decrease to a level that can cause pseudo-cavitation
  • The most common cause of abnormally low pump inlet restriction
  • What occurs when flow discharges above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir
  • What causes a “vortex” to occur in a hydraulic system
  • Why it is critical to “trend” pump inlet restriction

World Renowned
Training Experts

The Fluid Power Training Institute (FPTI) team, spearheaded by world-renowned expert Rory McLaren, bring their decades of experience as the go-to experts in industry for all things hydraulics, pneumatics, and more into the classroom with these incredible training systems.

These rugged, robust, practical, and skills-driven hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrical training systems are proudly built in the United States and are trusted by industry partners and educators across the globe.

We Can Help

We invite all educators looking at investing in hydraulic training systems to attend one of our workshops or give us a call to set up a Free Consultation.

At the very least, you'll learn proper safety procedures when it comes to hydraulics.

Our workshops are so effective, we guarantee for our industrial customers a 75% reduction in their hydraulic component replacement costs after attending or their money back.

Let us, leading experts in the field, help your school train the next generation!

Experience, Realized

"Over two decades ago I was teaching a class in Salt Lake City, Utah. One of my students, a teacher from a technical college in northern California, was so impressed with my training “system” that he asked if I would make a duplicate of it for him. I did, and the rest is history! Today, you will find my hydraulic training systems in the USA, Canada, Australia, Africa, Asia, South America, and Saudi Arabia ... It is also the number one choice for Corporate Technical Training Centers.

FPTI™ is the fastest growing fluid power training systems provider in the world - ask any teacher who uses our system, or any student who has attended our workshops. There's nothing else like it."

- Rory McLaren, Founder FPTI

Jaw-Dropping

When industry professionals come into a 4-day required workshop thinking they already know everything, and within 5 minutes are scribbling notes and taking photos, it makes us proud.

Hydraulics is our life. And we take great pride in sharing our knowledge, our wisdom, and our livelihoods with young minds to give them a better future.

Please ask us questions, reach out, pick our brains - we live to share our stories and wisdom surrounding fluid power with educators, students, and industry professionals.
