Supervisor: doc. Ing. Miroslav Škopán, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to widen and deepen students’ knowledge of machine parts and mechanisms and hydraulic machines with respect to the building and transport machines.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will be acquire knowledge of designing and construction especially of mobile machines from the selected field. They will widen and deepen their knowledge of design of regulative hydrostatic circuit – with respect to the latest development trends.
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics, physics, higher mathematics, machine parts and their mechanism, hydromechanics and principles of electrical engineering.

Links to other subjects:
recommended co-requisite: Transport Machines [QTZ]
compulsory co-requisite: Supporting Structures of Machines [QNS]
Course contents:
The course deals with the following topics – Mechanic transmissions: shiftable gearboxes of working machines, epicyclic gears, final drives, differentials. Hydrostatic transmissions: elements of hydrostatic mechanisms - converters, elements for pressure regulation, elements for flow regulation, elements for flow direction regulation, auxiliary elements, proportional elements. Calculation of hydrostatic circuits, starting and braking, thermal balance. Hydrostatic circuits of working machines. Hydrodynamic transmissions: hydrodynamic couplings and hydraulic torque converters.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work. Part of the course can be excursions to the companies, which manufacture or operate the equipments from the thematic area of education.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The examination consists of a written and an oral part. Written part of examination is evaluated by 50 points and it is necessary to get at least 20 points to continue in the oral part. Oral examination is marked independently and it is the same weight at the written part.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars actively and completed all tasks, as well as fulfilled the requirements of continuous control. Presence in the exercises is obligatory.
