IMS 2060 - Mechanical II


Clock Hours: 65

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Course Description:
The goal of the course is to build off the skills of Mechanical 1. The student will learn about multiple belt and chain drives, couplings, pulleys, Lubrication of these drives, and advanced gear drive alignments that are used in industrial applications. 

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  1. Heavy Duty V-Belt Drives
    1. Describe the function and operation of a multiple v-belt drive.
    2. Install and align a multiple v-belt drive.
    3. Describe and Install a wedge, notched, and variable speed v-belt drive.
    4. Describe and understand the specifications of v-belts.
    5. Demonstrate the process for using v-belt codes to determine the size and type of belt.
    6. Demonstrate how to select bushings, sheaves, and a v-belt for a specific application.
  2. Synchronous Belt Drives
    1. Describe and install and align a timing belt drive system. 
    2. Describe and install a HTD belt drive system.
    3. Demonstrate the process of selecting a timing belt for a curtain application.
  3. Lubrication Concepts
    1. Describe the importance and function of a Lubricant.
    2. Define oil viscosity and how oils are specified. Select an oil specification for a given application.
    3. Define the specifications of grease.
    4. Select a grease for a given application.
  4. Precision Shaft Alignment
    1. Describe an elastomeric-in-shear, and flange Coupling.
    2. Describe and apply the operation of the rim and face alignment.
    3. Describe and align a coupling using the reverse indicator method.
  5. Couplings
    1. Describe the operation and functions of chain, grid, and gear couplings.
    2. Describe how couplings are specified.
    3. Select a coupling for a given application.
  6. Heavy-Duty Chain Drives
    1. Describe the operation and install a silent chain drive.
    2. Describe the operation and install a multiple strand chain drive.
    3. Learn how to determine the size and type of sprockets and chains for a given application.
    4. Learn and apply troubleshooting of a system.
