Analog Position Control (Screencast)
In this animated object, learners examine an analog closed-loop feedback system that uses potentiometers to control the position of a gear rack.
Ultrasonic Flowmeters (Screencast)
By John Casey, Terry Bartelt
In this animated learning object, learners examine how an ultrasonic flowmeter measures the flow of liquids through a pipe using ultrasonic sound waves. A short quiz completes the activity.
Programming a PLC Timer
In this animated object, learners examine the types of information to enter, and the sequence of steps required, to program a programmable logic controller (PLC) timer.
Series Motor Runaway (Screencast)
Learners consider the changes inside a series motor that could cause it to break apart if the load was disconnected. A quiz completes the activity.
Understanding and Writing Pseudocode: The Basics
In this activity you'll explore how flowchart programs can be converted into pseudocode programming.
Calculating Belt Velocity and Horsepower
In this interactive object, learners are given the RPM, the pulley diameter, and the force, and proceed to calculate belt velocity and horsepower.

Motor and Pump Alignment
By Excelsior College
In this simulation activity, procedures are performed to properly align the shaft of an electric motor that replaced a defective motor, with the shaft coupling of a pump to which it is attached.
Displacement Level Sensors
In this animated object, learners study how displacement level sensors are used to measure the level of liquid in a tank.
Unloading Valves (Screencast)
By Terry Bartelt, Stephen Schneider
In this screencast, learners examine the internal structure of an unloading valve. This learning object includes a video clip demonstrating the use of an unloading valve in a metal stamping application.
Comparing Electronic and Hydraulic Components (Screencast)
Learners read about the similarities of electronic and hydraulic components and then match the schematic symbols in a drag-and-drop exercise.
Understanding Circular Robotic Motions
The learner will learn the programming steps that are used to create circular motions with robots.
Troubleshooting an Unstable Press Motor
In this simulation activity, an electrician will troubleshoot an AC motor that quit running and cannot be restarted. Before accessing blueprints and then using a multimeter to find the fault, the learner will follow safety protocols by following lock-out tag-out procedures and then suit up with appropriate (PPE) personal protection equipment.
