Full course description
Rigging Systems I
This system teaches how to safely move loads of different shapes and sizes using a variety of methods.
Mechanical Drives I
This interactive multimedia course covers vital knowledge related to mechanical drives training, such as motor mounting, key fasteners, power transmission systems, V-belt drives, chain drives, spur gear drives, and multiple shaft drives. Learners will study specific objectives like: methods of measuring motor shaft speed, how to calculate rotary mechanical power, the operation of a flexible jaw coupling, methods of adjusting belt tension, allowable chain sag for various applications, the function of backlash, and the alignment procedure of a sleeve coupling.
Mechanical Drives II
Mechanical Drives 2 covers heavy duty V-Belt drives including conventional, multiple, wedge, and variable speed V-Belt drives. This course describes V-Belt selection and maintenance by covering V-Belt size specification, component identification, and troubleshooting. Learners will develop fundamental knowledge of synchronous belt drives, lubrication concepts, precision shaft alignment, and coupling. Also covered is heavy duty chain drives which describes silent chain drives, multiple-strand systems, chain selection, chain lubrication, chain maintenance and troubleshooting.
Principles of Hydraulics
Principles of hydraulics introduces the theory and application of hydraulics in manufacturing. The learner studies the fundamentals of hydraulic theory; the form, fit, and function of components of a hydraulic system; common applications of hydraulics in manufacturing; and how to safely operate and maintain hydraulic systems.
