Heavy-duty drives fail differently than light ones. A multiple-belt drive with one stretched belt loads the others unevenly; a taper lock bushing seated incorrectly will work loose under torque; and a gear coupling that looks fine from the outside can be running on worn teeth. At this level, the work is less about assembling a drive than about reading what a running one is telling you and correcting it before the line stops.

This course covers installing, adjusting, aligning, tensioning, operating, troubleshooting, maintaining, and analyzing heavy-duty mechanical power transmission drive systems. You will work with motors and shafts; gear, grid, and flange couplings; QD, taper-lock, and split-taper bushings; multiple V-belt, timing, and HTD synchronous belt drives; and heavy-duty and silent chain drives. You will follow mechanical drive troubleshooting safety rules, perform reverse dial indicator shaft alignment, select and size components for a given application, identify a component from its model number, and identify and correct component wear. The course also covers V-belt maintenance, chain selection, and proper lubrication practices.

This course prepares you to test for the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) C-301 Mechanical Power Systems 2 certification.

Notice

Please read: 

FLEX FORMAT: This course is offered in Hawkeye's Flex format at the second floor of the Automation and Robotics Center (ARC). Flex is competency-based and a flipped classroom: you complete the theory in the Learning Management System (LMS) online on your own schedule, then come to the ARC open lab to practice and demonstrate hands-on skills on the matching industrial trainers. You advance by demonstrating skill mastery of each competency, not seat time. Flex lab nights are Monday–Thursday, 5:00–9:00 pm, with an instructor and lab assistant on duty; the lab is also open for independent work Monday–Thursday from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm, and Fridays 8:00 am–4:00 pm. The subject-matter expert for this course is scheduled for Thursday night; plan to attend that night each week for in-depth help and hands-on competency testing. Rolling enrollment: start any week. Refer to your registration form or class details for the timeline to complete the course from your start date. This course aligns with the SACA C-301 Mechanical Power Systems 2 micro-credential. The course fee includes two attempts at the SACA Silver (knowledge) exam and one attempt at the SACA Gold (hands-on) exam, administered at the ARC.

 

DEVICE AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The online portion of this course uses a Learning Management System (LMS). Click for minimum device requirements to access LMS! Students without a qualifying device may borrow a Hawkeye laptop by requesting the Laptop Checkout Form; the student is responsible for repair or replacement costs if the laptop is damaged, lost, or stolen. Safety glasses (one pair provided) and closed-toe shoes are required at all times in the ARC lab.
