Basic Mechanical Level 1
Course #

201

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed to instruct students on proper removal and installation of bearings, pulleys, chains, sprockets, gears and couplings. The student will learn proper alignment procedures and will perform alignment procedures on chain drives and belt drives. The student will learn the 4 step coupling alignment procedure and will perform it on shafts and couplings using a dial indicator.
