Assignment title A3 - Applications of Engineering Components
Purpose of this assignment
This unit aims to give learners knowledge of the components and systems commonly used
in lubrication systems, transmissions and plant equipment.
Scenario
You work for a voluntary organisation which has taken on the challenge of establishing an
Engineering training school in a developing country.
The purpose of this school is to train people how to use machinery which will help them to make water pumps,
engines
In this instance, you need to investigate and describe the different types of cam, their purpose and typical
applications of cams and linkage mechanisms. You also need trainees to be able to identify and explain the
function of belt drives, chain drives and gear trains.
Task 1
Compile a written report for your trainees to use to help understand types and
applications of cam and linkages. Describe the purpose and typical applications of
two different types of cam and follower and two different types of linkage
mechanisms.
(This provides evidence for P5)
Task 2
Compile a teaching guide with the use of diagrams, sketches and images. to help explain the
arrangement/layouts, operation, advantages and disadvantages of:
two different belt drives
two different chain drives
two different gear trains
(This provides evidence for P6)
