Wondering which FREE classes to take this Fall @laneycollege ? MACH 207 - Mechanical Drives is one of the coolest classes we offer! The class covers not just the what, but also the how and why of industrial power transmission systems. You'll learn about the physics of mechanical systems, how to select the correct components for replacement, how to properly assemble equipment, how to maintain machinery for long service life, and how to troubleshoot common machine problems. The class is taught in 14 modules: Simple Mechanics and Physics of Power Transmission; Plain, Static and Dynamic Bearings; Rolling Element Bearings: Lubrication; Motors; Balancing; Shaft Couplings; Shaft Alignment; Belt Drives; Chain Drives; Gear Drives; Conveyors and Related Handling Equipment; Linear Motion Devices; and Clutches and Brakes. The lectures feature PowerPoint presentation slides created from scratch by yours truly (Instructor Adam B). I put a ridiculous amount of work into developing this class into something I'm happy with. I've included a few random samples of the slides 👌 I'm sure you'll agree they're STUNNING. But lectures are only part of this class. The other part - arguably the most important part - is the hands-on labs. Every week you'll get yours hands dirty installing bearings with an induction heater, performing a dynamic balance on a motor shaft, aligning a pump and motor with a laser aligner, adjusting chain take-up, and all kinds of other fun activities! The class meets in-person from 6-8:15pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Enroll today! I'm happy to waive the prerequisite if you have some background knowledge/experience. Questions?
