Course description
Mechanical Fundamentals and Troubleshooting
Available in both virtual and in-person, instructor-led formats, this 2-day Mechanical Fundamentals & Troubleshooting seminar will provide the student a new perspective on troubleshooting mechanical drives and rotating equipment to prevent costly downtime. Regardless of the precautions you’ve taken and preventive maintenance practices you’ve implemented, sometimes things just go wrong and you need it fixed now. But in order to fix it you must know how to isolate and define the problem, and that’s what this course is all about – teaching you how to quickly and accurately troubleshoot mechanical drives and rotating equipment. Rather than teaching about "equipment specific" situations we’ll take a more novel approach: troubleshooting based on the common components that make up a piece of specified equipment, regardless of its function, design or manufacturer. You will learn about basic mechanical applications, failures, life expectancy and maintenance of shafts, bearings, couplings, chains, sprockets, bushings, gears, belts, sheaves and other mechanical components. You’ll learn what data to measure, track and trend, so that when equipment fails you can get quick answers to what is wrong. Most importantly you will learn how to find and fix the real problems with your equipment, and not just the symptoms. No matter what type of equipment you may confront on the job, after attending this seminar you will have the tools & skills to properly troubleshoot just about any problem you may encounter.
