Practical Task 02

Team practical task

In this task, you will inspect one of the following (Lathe, drill, milling or any other machine) drive belt
transmission system and then answer some questions. you have to work in a team of up to four students, each
team member should participate in all hands-on performance criteria so the assessor can observe you doing
different activities. Each student should have his paperwork for the assessment. You should use the tools
provided by your teacher to complete this task:
1. Steel rule and straight edge (length along with pulley faces
2. Vernier calliper
3. Hand gloves
4. Safety glass
5. Spanners

Part I: Once you are clear on what to inspect, you may carry out your maintenance inspection. You will be
assessed on your procedure and skills in carrying out this task.
Part II: Answer the following questions:
Achieved
No Question
Yes No
1 Measure the external diameter of the driving pulley and record your result
below. [PC6.1] D1 = Answer is based on actual pulley available in each campus,
with ±3mm tolerance.

2 Measure the external diameter of the driven pulley and record your result
below. [PC6.1] D2 = Answer is based on actual pulley available in each campus,
with ±3mm tolerance.
3 Measure the thickness of the driving pulley and record your result below.
[PC6.1] T= Answer is based on actual pulley available in each campus, with
±2mm tolerance.
4 Name the type of drive belt used in this machine. [PC6.2] Example: Vee belt or
flat belt

5 Check the pulley’s alignment and identify any misalignment types that may or
may not exist. You will write either the misalignment type or that no
misalignment had been observed. [PC6.3] Straight alignment
