50-464-712Bearings, Measurement & Printreading for Maintenance Tech Apprentices
Course Information
Description
Course learning outcomes include competencies related to bearings, precision measurement, and print reading.  Printreading includes comparing types of prints, interpreting structural drawings, and identifying parts from prints. This course also develops apprentice skills in precision measurement. Types of measuring instruments will be compared and then measuring skills using tapes, steel rules, micrometers, calipers, indicators, and gauges will be developed. Apprentices will examine bearing types and applications, and compare equipment bearings. Learners will develop skills related to bearing inspection, selection, removal, mounting, lubrication and diagnosing bearing failures.
