MultiSkilling - Mechanical Skills

Course Aims

To train course members to a level of skill and understanding of mechanical drives and mechanisms. (ENTRA Module Segment J.502.)

Course Objective

By the end of the training, course members should be competent to:

• Be aware of health and safety hazards associated with this type of work
• Identify defects in bearings, seals and drives using visual, tactile and audio means.
• Identify the cause of the defect, decide whether the part should be replaced now, or whether it can it be postponed until a convenient time.
• Remove old bearings and seals, replace with new components.
• Identify the old components and order replacements
• Dismantle and overhaul basic gearbox and reduction drive units
• Align shafts and couplings
• Remove and refit pulleys and sprockets, correctly align pulleys and sprockets. Fit and tension belts and roller chains.

The Course Covers

Practical

• Safety - Before starting any work, locking off isolators, pulling fuses and hanging notices.
• Recognizing bearing and seal defects
• Removing plain, ball and roller bearings,
• Cleaning up old bearings and seals.
• Dismantling and re-assembling gear trains.
• Removing cams - Examining for wear - Replacing cams.
• Practice removing and refitting guards
