Description

INTRODUCTION

 

Comprehensive package of mechanical training system MT-5000 combines the best features of five proven EDU-LABS mechanical training systems MT-10 Series, MT-20 Series, MT-30 Series, MT-40 Series and MT-50 Series in one hands-on workstation. The system allows the student to progress through the full range of common mechanical skills using one comprehensive training system.

 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

 

  • This versatile assembly allows for convenient hands-on training in gear identification, installation, alignment, and troubleshooting.
  • The device includes a diverse selection of industrial-quality gears, shafts, and bearings, allowing for use in a variety of configurations.
  • The welded aluminum and CNC machined gear box provides for mounting and shimming of tapered roller bearings using several different bearing housing types.
  • Useful in the classroom or training lab, this heavy-duty device will improve maintenance skills, as well as increase the understanding of precision gearing.

 

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

 

  • 7-Gauge, formed-steel baseplate with provision for tabletop mounting.
  • Welded aluminum gear box, allowing for installation of all supplied gear sets.
  • Seven custom bearing housings allowing for installation and shimming (internal and external) of tapered roller bearing sets.
  • Two additional flanged bearing units for open gearing application.
  • Gear sets, including spur gears, helical gears, worm/worm gear, and bevel (miter) gears. Gear sets include different pitches, ratios, pressure angles, and pitch diameters.
  • Steel bracket for mounting dial indicator, for backlash measurements
  • Bearings, including tapered roller bearings and radial ball bearings.
  • Shafting with keyways and keys.
  • Handle for illustrating thrust and establishing wear patterns.
  • High-durability, powder-coated surfaces throughout.
  • Crating for shipment via motor freight.
