DAC Worldwide’s Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer (208-000) is a heavy-duty, precision learning aid that allows for convenient, realistic training in shaft alignment. When paired with a variety of hands-on exercises, the training system creates a complete performance-based course in the maintenance of shaft alignment.
The Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer is designed based on the dimensions of a common ANSI centrifugal pump, and allows for training using all common alignment techniques and tools. With each element having adjustment capabilities to create unique alignment problems, this learning system offers a complete training experience in this fundamental industrial bearing maintenance.
Learners will use industrial-grade components to study topics such as using a dial indicator in coupling/shaft alignment, coupling alignment using the reverse dial indicator method, fabrication of shaft keys, and installing a flexible disc coupling. Not only do the components provide durability to stand up to frequent use, but they also aid learners in becoming better prepared for the tasks they will encounter on the job.
The Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer features a heavy-duty, 7-gauge steel baseplate with provision for tabletop mounting. It includes flanged bearings, fasteners, shafts, and ¾” diameter shafting with keyways. It also comes with four (4) steel pads, an Allen wrench set, combination wrenches, and more.
In addition to hands-on training, DAC Worldwide’s Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer comes with courseware, which is useful in both an instructor-led or self-directed format. The courseware includes a textbook with chapters on coupling and alignment techniques, as well as twenty illustrated, hands-on exercises. Some of the exercises locating and correcting soft foot, assembling a chain-type coupling, installing a universal joint coupling, and much more!
The Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer is only one of DAC Worldwide’s expansive mechanical training systems. Other related equipment includes a Belt Drive Training System (201-000), a Gear Maintenance Training System (205-000), and many more!
