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.
Learners study the operation of the retro-reflective optical sensor, along with the guidelines that should be followed regarding the target size, reflector size, alignment, and the reflectivity of the target.
In this animated and interactive object, learners follow three steps to calibrate an opposed optical sensor. They consider horizontal alignment, the sensitivity setting, and having an effective beam.
