Full course description
This course includes modules covering:
Pump Systems
The Pumps Systems curriculum teaches skills related to centrifugal pumps, which are used in almost every industry to transfer non-hydraulic fluids of various types from one place to another. Students learn a comprehensive set of industry-relevant skills including how to operate, install, maintain, troubleshoot, analyze performance, and select centrifugal pumps as well as system design.
Vibration Analysis
The Vibration Analysis course teaches how to use vibration analysis to determine when to perform maintenance of power transmission components. Students will learn industry-relevant skills including how to use a vibration meter to take a vibration measurement, how and where to take to measurements on various types of power transmission systems, how to analyze the results, and how to minimize vibration.
Lasher Shaft Alignment
Laser Shaft Alignment is rapidly gaining popularity in industries throughout the world because it enables maintenance and plant engineering personnel to make quicker and more accurate shaft alignments than other shaft alignment methods such as the dial indicator method or the straight edge and feeler gauge method. Laser shaft alignment systems avoid problems such as sagging indicators, reading resolution error, and reading parallax error. The 95-ME2A teaches how to setup, operate and apply laser shaft alignment to a variety of industrial applications.
Mechanical Drives 1
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.
Multiple Pump
Amatrol’s Multiple Pump eBook course allows learners to study the functions and real world applications of series and parallel pumps. This course presents practical skills such as installing and operating series and parallel pumps with theoretical knowledge like measuring and graphing flow/pressure characteristics and calculating pump efficiency.
Gear Pump
The Gear Pump eBook course covers the function, operation, installation, and maintenance of the versatile gear pump. This low maintenance pump can transfer a wide array of fluids and fluid viscosities for spraying, recirculating, cleaning, and fluid transfer applications. One of the most common applications of a gear pump is in an automobiles automatic transmission. This learning system also provides information on how to inspect, disassemble, and troubleshoot the pump; how to select the proper gear pump for an application; and how to calculate theoretical and actual flow rates.
Magnetic Pump
The Magnetic Pump Learning System covers the magnetic pump, which uses a magnetic coupling to prevent direct contact between the motor drive shaft and the pump impeller. This feature eliminates any possibility of leakage or seepage and makes the magnetic pump an ideal selection for pumping hazardous chemicals that could harm the environment or for expensive liquids where it is important to reduce loss. The 95-PM1-G curriculum explains the function, operation, installation, disassembly, inspection, and maintenance of a magnetic pump. Additional topics include: how to properly align the magnetic coupling; how to troubleshoot problems; how to select the correct magnetic pump for an application; how to determine a pump’s flow/pressure characteristics; and how each component of the pump factors into the overall operation.
