PPT 201 Mechanical Systems
The apprentices will learn to maintain all of the elements of a mechanical system. Apprentices will begin by exploring mechanical fundamentals such energy, mechanical forces, and simple machines. Apprentices will learn to troubleshoot, assemble, and maintain systems and components such as couplings, bearings, belt and chain drives, gear drives, seals and packing, and clutches and brakes. Apprentices will also learn principles of lubrication and machine vibration. Hands-on activities will involve inspecting and making repair recommendations for mechanical systems found in industry such as gearboxes, worm drives, standard transmissions, and differential drives. Apprentices will also practice coupling alignment skills using a simulation station.
