Amatrol's Laser Shaft Alignment Learning System (97-ME2A) covers the installation, operation, and applications of laser alignment in a variety of industrial scenarios. Laser shaft alignment is the preferred method of shaft alignment among maintenance and plant engineering personnel due to its superior efficiency and accuracy over older methods like the dial indicator method or the straight edge and feeler gauge method. Laser alignment systems also avoid problems such as sagging indicators, reading resolution error, and reading parallax error. These components add to the Mechanical Drives 2 Learning System (97-ME2) and the Mechanical Drives 1 Learning System (970-ME1).
Amatrol’s 97-ME2A includes a laser alignment system, two measuring units, two shaft v-brackets, two locking chains, and a motor mount horizontal adjustment assembly. Amatrol learning systems are composed of heavy-duty components that provide learners with real-world equipment they’ll recognize on the job and already understand how to use. These components will be used to study topics like rough alignment, laser shaft alignment installation, soft foot correction, and laser shaft alignment operation and analysis.
Bearings, Gaskets, & Seals Training
Amatrol’s Mechanical Drives 3 Learning System (97-ME3) covers plain bearings, ball bearings, roller bearings, anti-friction bearing selection and maintenance, gaskets, seals, advanced gear drives, and gear drive selection and maintenance. The drive systems featured in this mechanical drives training system are utilized in countless automotive, agricultural, industrial, and commercial applications, so the advanced manufacturing career fields for learners using these skills are vast. This mechanical drives training expansion system requires the Mechanical Drives 1 Learning System (970-ME1), viscometer, and a computer.
This mechanical drives training system consists of a fastener kit, worm gear speed reducer, ball bearings package, roller bearings package, plain bearings package, angular contact bearings, bearing press, seals package, and helical gear set. Learners will use these real-world components, like bearings and gaskets, to practice hands-on skills, such as troubleshooting a plain bearing installation, selecting a lubricant for an anti-friction bearing, and calculating a diametral path. Amatrol uses components that learners work with in real-world environments in order to facilitate the strongest competency skill building and to supply heavy-duty components that stand up to frequent training use.
Amatrol’s Predictive Maintenance Vibration Analysis Learning System (97-ME5A) adds to the Mechanical Drives 1 training system (970-ME1) to teach how to use vibration analysis to determine when to perform power transmission component maintenance. Vibration analysis is one of the key techniques used in the field of predictive maintenance to determine when to service one or more of a machine’s components, either making a replacement or adjustment, before a failure actually occurs. Learners will practice industry-relevant skills including how to use a vibration meter to take a vibration measurement, how and where to take various power transmission system measurements, how to read power transmission vibration analysis, and how to minimize vibration.
