Mechanical Drives I

October 15 at 8:00 am - October 17 at 5:00 pm

Mechanical Drives I training covers the fundamentals of mechanical transmission systems and applications, such as how to: operate, install, analyze performance, and design basic mechanical transmission systems using chains, vbelts, spur gears, bearings, and couplings. These mechanical system fundamentals can be applied to a variety of applications within the automotive, agricultural, and power industries.  Mechanical drives I training uses industrial quality components to cover major mechanical drives topics like shaft speed measurement, key fasteners, power transmission systems, belt drive concepts, chain tensioning, and gear backlash. The training module features the ability to set up various drive systems, showing learners the effects of proper alignment and how to obtain the best efficiency.  Participants will learn and practice skills such as: mounting an electric motor and correcting for soft foot condition; install and align a flexible jaw coupling; adjust belt tension; measure chain sag; and calculate gear ratio.  Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to operate, install, and analyze mechanical drives and how they are used in real-world applications.
