Maintenance Diagnostic Systems, Inc. Shaft Alignment Certification Course Basic

Spindle trainer used for shaft alignment training

Prerequisite: None

Class Length: 16 Hours

Class Size: 6 Students

SPECIFIC NEEDS TRAINING ADDRESSES:

It will provide the necessary information to operate the software and equipment. This course will give the trainees the knowledge of proper coupling alignment, comparing straight edge, reverse dial and the laser. This will reduce downtime and allow longer life of the rotary equipment within the plant.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will provide theory explanation and hands on training in the following areas:

1. Basic types of mechanical couplings.
2. Proper alignment procedures.
3. Inspection areas requiring periodic examination.
4. Equipment identification and operation.
5. Equipment installation and connections.
6. Software installation and operation for Coupling 4.
7. Set-up and measurement of shaft/couplings using the Hamar Laser Shaft Alignment System (S-740 or S-650 system).

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:

Trainee will be able to:

1. Describe the main and secondary functions of couplings.
2. Determine the amount of offset and angular mis-alignment.
3. Measure coupled and uncoupled shafts for misalignment and repair.
4. Correctly identify motor shaft thrust, radial play, bent shaft, soft foot and other problems associated with shaft alignment.
5. Correctly assemble and install brackets, target, and the laser on the coupling.
6. Correctly connect the equipment (target, interface, laser and computer).
7. Install, setup, and operate the Hamar coupling software.
