DESL 2710 - Power Transfer System


This course is designed to provide instruction in the theory and operation of Heavy Duty Drivetrains.  Considerable time is spent on proper procedures to disassemble and assemble torque converters, power shift, and automatic transmissions. The class will also work with common planetary final drives.  Component nomenclature, function, and analysis are covered, as is the proper usage of hand tools, measuring instruments and special equipment.

Credits: 4

Instructional Method Lecture/Lab
