Key concepts and Adjustment and application of a straight edge for aligning pulleys
terminology Proper torque settings for fastening the base plate of the electric motor
Rotational speed principles when dealing with belt drives (See video on COP-site)
All belt drive terms (centre distance, pulley, pulley groove, jockey, tensioner, angle of wrap/contact, etc)
Concept of alignment of belt
Belt tension in kg per meter - method
Key questions Why would you need to maintain a certain amount of belt tension?
(Questions you will ask How does the belt classification bring greater efficiency to a belt drive? Think of Z,A,B,C,D and SPZ, SPA,
in class or use as SPB, SPC, 8V Delta.
assessment) Why choose a specific belt over another?
What is good about belt drives over any other drive type?
What is bad about belt drives?
Could you match a type of belt used with a specific context or load?
What do you need to look out for when maintaining a belt drive? – refer to a belt-type in specific cases?

Main activities:
SO 3: BELT DRIVE PLANNING & PREPARATION
Facilitate the understanding of the kind of planning Form Groups (5 for the practical exercise)
and preparation required for belt drives; benefits of
use, non-effective characteristics. List PPE required in the workshop
Group the students and give them a class activity
In groups they make a research on different 25 minutes
Revise the activity in workshop before the end of the
terminology used and try to explain their meaning

Facilitate the importance and dangers of not wearing
PPE in the workshop
SO 4: DISMANTLE & ASSEMBLE
Checking of v-belt sizes and lengths; maintenance,
fault finding and diagnosis; alignment and tensioning; Pay attention to the video. 25 minutes
installation of v-belt drives; elimination and Respond to questions after the video is stopped

Apply appropriate safety practices during the process.
1. Consolidation and ending:
Facilitator: Give a summary of the ENTIRE TOPIC: Class interacts with the summary on the prompt from the 15 minutes
Belt drive safety (Basic fitting safety; Use of guards; facilitator.
isolation/ Lock-out procedures)
Belt drives – basic assembly, adjustment / alignment Please note: Store tools and equipment; Clean the workshop
where possible /functionality; impact on efficiency & and practice good housekeeping – applicable where facilitators
belt drive & components introduce students to a workshop environment.
Belt drives (Function/purpose; classification,
types/examples)
Review – characteristics of V-belt drive
Types, and applicable adjustment and/or conditions.
Dismantle and Assemble
SO 5 Perform quality checks
Recap and revise the work done for this topic.
Assessment: opportunities and evidence – indicate informal or formal
Complete Notes
ICASS Practice – Dismantle and Assemble a V-Belt Drive [students must include adjustment, tensioning, alignment of pulleys)
A practical report must accompany the completed task.
Prepare for a Class Practical Test – fortnight’s (2 weeks) time
Written work: in exercise books, on worksheets and /or self-assessment activity
Written work must be completed by first week after the completion of this topic (Belt drives )
This includes the completion of ALL Self-assessment and Practical activities
Lecturer’s reflection on current lesson: After your lesson- what went well, where can you improve, what will you do different
To be completed after the lesson
Follow-on: what will be done in the next lesson (adjustments in lesson plan)
