Course Outcome

4 Modules

The complete course consists of 4 video modules and 2 PDF manuals which include self-assessment

Module 1 – Overview of Mechanical Couplings & Alignment Principles

At the end of this module the learner will be able to:

• Identify commonly used linear couplings
• Describe the principles of machinery alignment
• Perform an alignment preparation

Module 2 – “Bibby” Couplings (Steel Grid Couplings)

At the end of this module the learner will be able to:

• Identify
• Dismantle
• Re-assemble
• Perform axial and radial alignment using the two clocks gauge method

Module 3 – “Fenna-Flex” Couplings (Rubber Tire type)

At the end of this module the learner will be able to:

• Dismantle
• Inspect
• Assemble
• Align a typical unit using Vernier and Inside Callipers, as well as a steel rule or straight edge
• Adjust a taper-lock assembly

Module 4 – Alternative Alignment Methods

At the end of this module the learner will be able to:

• Effect an alignment procedure of a Bibby of similar coupling using “Taper Gauge” and “Feeler Gauge” method
