The benchtop training system is also packaged with hardware for applications related to multiple matches belts, fractional horsepower belts, positive drive belts, and variable pitch sheaves.

The 201-PAC includes:

• Belt Drive Training System (201)
• Wedge Belt and Sheave Set (201-002)
• Magnetic Base/Dial Indicator Set (208-015)

Belt Drive Training System Offers Real-World, Industrial Training

Using a steel baseplate and industry-grade aluminum components, the equipment provides a variety of training scenarios to aide learners in becoming better prepared for the tasks they will encounter on the job. This mechanical training system includes a welded aluminum motor, an adjustable motor base for parallel tensioning, flanged bearings for variations in shaft misalignment, and more. Learners will use these components to study topics such as belt types, installation/removal of QD and taper-lock bushings, belt drive maintenance pre-checks, and much more.

The courseware that accompanies this training system includes literature on belt drives and sheave alignment techniques that can be useful in either an instructor-led setting, or a self-directed format. It also includes twelve (12) illustrated, hands-on exercises over topics such as belt drive concepts, belt identification systems, mechanical terminology, and belt drive maintenance.

This versatile piece of training equipment, combined with a variety of realistic exercises, represents a complete course in this fundamental industrial technology, and is useful within industrial training programs, as well as in the educational setting.

Practice Hands-On Mechanical Skills for Various Applications

This Belt Drive Training System Plus features a durable, flexible system mount, including a 7-gauge steel baseplate with provisions for tabletop mounting. It includes a belt tension gauge, sheave inspection gauge, Allen and combination wrenches, an angle indicator, and more. Learners will use these components to practice hands-on skills, such as using a dial indicator in maintenance, as well as the alignment and tensioning of fractional horsepower belts, multiple conventional V-belts, belt drives with variable-speed sheaves, and positive drive belts.

In addition, the trainer package offers optional drive hardware relating to other belt types and chain drives, which allows for expanded, more personalized study and usefulness.
