Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Training System Plus

Model: 208D-PAC

DAC Worldwide’s Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Training System Plus (208D-PAC) is a heavy-duty, precision learning package 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 package includes:

  • Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer (208D-000)
  • Tool Kit, Shaft Alignment (208-001)
  • Standard Shim Kit (208-003)
  • Steel Grid Coupling, Coupling/Shaft Alignment (208-005)
  • Elastomeric Element Coupling, Coupling/Shaft Alignment (208-007)
  • Jaw and Spider Coupling, Coupling/Shaft Alignment (208-014)
  • Magnetic Base/Dial Indicator Set (208-015)

The Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Training System Plus has a design based on the configuration found in many vertical centrifugal pumps, and accommodates all types of alignment apparatus, including laser systems. Through its realistic features and versatility, this lightweight, yet rigid training fixture will make any training session more productive, convenient, and professional. Learners will use industrial-grade components to study topics such as performing a four-point motor element jacking, mastering usage of a dial indicator in coupling/shaft alignment, troubleshooting angular and parallel misalignment, and installing a flexible disc coupling. Not only do the components provide durability to stand up to frequent use, but they also aide learners in becoming better prepared for the tasks they will encounter on the job.

Practice Hands-On Mechanical Skills for Various Applications

The Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer features a heavy-duty steel baseplate with provision for tabletop mounting. It requires a minimal number of tools, and its rigid construction allows for alignment within .001”. It also comes with four (4) steel pads, an Allen wrench set, combination wrenches, and more.

The Tool Kit, Shaft Alignment comes with two (2) CNC-machined shaft bracket sets, two (2) sets of clamp attachment studs, four (4) dial indicator support bars, four (4) dial indicator attachment bars, four (4) swivel clamps, two (2) Starrett universal dial test indicators, and many more useful tools to aid in industrial training. The Standard Shim Kit includes ten (10) shims each – of 13 different thicknesses – each accurate within +/- .001”. Made of durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel that is permanently marked with both nominal thickness and actual thickness information, the kit is perfect for use in the training lab or by the working maintenance professional in the field.

To round out the training package, students will use a Magnetic Base/Dial Indicator Set, a Steel Grid Coupling, an Elastomeric Element Coupling, and a Jaw and Spider Coupling for authentic hands-on learning using equipment encountered on the job.

Expand Training with Additional Mechanical Options

The Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Training System Plus is only one of DAC Worldwide’s expansive mechanical training systems. Other related equipment includes a 3-Component Coupling Shaft Alignment Training System (206-000), a Vertical Coupling Shaft Alignment Trainer (207-000), and many more!

Student Training Manual Included With Package

A copy of this course’s Student Training Manual is available with the training system. Sourced from the Exercises and Learning Activities, the Student Training Manual takes the technical content contained in the learning objectives, and combines it into one perfectly-bound book. If you would like to inquire about purchasing additional Student Training Manuals for your program, please contact your local DAC Worldwide Representative for more information.
