Basic Mechanical Level 2
Course #

202

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed to instruct students on lubricating and trouble-shooting mechanical systems. The student will learn proper lubricating procedures, different types of lubricates, and applications. The student will perform shaft alignment, motor and pump alignment and determine the cause of overloading.

Learner Outcomes:

 

The student will be able to identify and select the proper lubricant for machine applications.

  1. Given a NLGI lubricant number the student will be able to identify the hardness of the lubricant.
    2.  
  2. Given a motor application the student will be able to determine the lubrication frequency.
    3.  
  3. Given a spherical roller bearing and its operating RPM the student will be able to select the proper lubricant frequency.
    4.  
  4. Given an AGMA lubricant number the student will be able to cross reference it to a SAE lubricant.
    5.  
  5. Given a chain drive and its operation temperature the student will select the proper lubricant number.
    6.  
  6. Given an oil analysis report the student will be able to determine the cleanness of the oil and determine if it should be change out.
    7.  

The student will be able to perform parallel and series shaft alignment.

  1. Using a Dial indicator the student will be able to determine if there is a bent shaft or a coupling bored off of center.
    2.  
  2. The student will be able to test for a "Soft Foot" on a motor.
    3.  
  3. Given a pump and motor the student will be able to do a 4 step dial indicator alignment.
    4.  
  4. Given a dynamometer the student will do a complete serial alignment.
    5.  
  5. Given a set of parallel shafts the student will do a complete alignment.
    6.  

The student will be able to check the loading on a machine and determine the root cause for overloading.

  1. Given a force gage, lever arm, and an electric brake the student will be able to measure the foot pounds required to break free.
    2.  
  2. Given a weighted elevator the student will be able to calculate the horsepower need to move the load over a fixed distance within a specific amount of time.
    3.  
  3. Given the same weighted elevator the student will select motor, pulleys, belts and assemble the system to move the weighted elevator within a specific time and distance.
    4.  
  4. Given a stalled weighted elevator the student will be able to determine the root cause for the stall.
