Mechanical Power Systems 3 Flex


Course number : 8600017    ID : 67705    Program Code : 001:FlexFA26

« back to classes page

Nearly every machine on a plant floor moves power from a motor to a load through some combination of shafts, bearings, seals, and gearing, and a large share of unplanned downtime traces back to one of those components being installed, aligned, tensioned, or lubricated incorrectly.

This hands-on course builds the skill to install, adjust, align, tension, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain complete mechanical power transmission drive systems. You will work with motors and shafts; plain, ball, taper roller, and duplex angular contact bearings; gaskets, o-rings, lip seals, and mechanical seals; and helical, worm, and right-angle bevel gears and gearboxes. Bearing installation covers the full range of methods used in the field, including mandrels and hammers, bearing pullers, arbor presses, bearing heaters, and temperature crayons, along with correct grease and oil lubrication practice.

This course prepares you to test for the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) C-352 Mechanical Power Systems 3 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 Tuesday 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-101 Associate-Basic Operations 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.
