DAC Worldwide’s Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer (208D-000) is a heavy-duty, precision learning aide that allows for convenient, realistic training in shaft alignment. The Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer is designed based on the dimensions of a common ANSI centrifugal pump and allows for training using all common alignment techniques and tools. With each element having adjustment capabilities to create unique alignment problems, this learning system offers a complete training experience in this fundamental industrial bearing maintenance.
The trainer requires the following components:
Learners will use industrial-grade components to study topics such as using a dial indicator in coupling/shaft alignment, coupling alignment using the reverse dial indicator method, fabrication of shaft keys, and installing a flexible disc coupling. Not only do the components provide durability to stand up to frequent use, but they also aid learners in becoming better prepared for the tasks they will encounter on the job.
The Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer features a heavy-duty, 7-gauge steel baseplate with provision for tabletop mounting. It includes flanged bearings, fasteners, shafts, and ¾” diameter shafting with keyways. It also comes with four (4) steel pads, an Allen wrench set, combination wrenches, and more.
All fasteners are easily accessible and replaceable, and the system requires a minimal number of hand tools. Flanged bearing allow changes in angular and parallel misalignment, and motor attachment points include steel threaded inserts. Replaceable shafts and bent shafts are easily installed.
In addition to hands-on training, DAC Worldwide’s Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer comes with courseware, which is useful in both an instructor-led or self-directed format. The courseware includes a textbook with chapters on coupling and alignment techniques, as well as twenty (20) illustrated, hands-on exercises. Some of the exercises locating and correcting soft foot, assembling a chain-type coupling, installing a universal joint coupling, and much more!
The Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer is only one of DAC Worldwide’s expansive mechanical training systems. Other related equipment includes a Belt Drive Training System (201-000), a Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer (208-000), a Gear Maintenance Training System (205-000), and many more!
A copy of this course’s Student Training Manual and Textbook is available with the training system. Sourced from the Exercises and Learning Activities, the Student Activity Guide 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 Activity Guides for your program, please contact your local DAC Worldwide Representative for more information.

Our learning programs develop job-ready skills that have been proven time and again. Take a look at how we can help you be successful!Colleges are challenged to offer courses whenever students are available – and frequently, wherever they are available. Students want courses that are available on campus as well as from home while also providing strong hands-on skills for the technology demands facing them. Meeting these demands is no small task.
Amatrol has learning programs that allow colleges to excel in this demanding environment. We offer a full range of learning systems, both in a traditional equipment lab setting as well as in a virtual lab, that meet and exceed students' expectations.
