Acoem’s Precision Maintenance Toolbox Video Series is a comprehensive resource designed to help maintenance professionals improve their technical skills and knowledge. Hosted by Acoem technical trainer Stan Riddle, the series provides step-by-step guidance on essential tools and techniques used in industrial maintenance. Each video focuses on a specific tool, demonstrating its correct usage and explaining its importance in ensuring machine reliability and efficiency. The series is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of precision maintenance.

The first video in the series covers how to use a belt tension gauge. Proper belt tension is crucial for the performance and longevity of belt drives, as incorrect tension can lead to issues like belt slip, breakage, and damage to bearings or pulleys. In this video, Stan Riddle walks viewers through the process of measuring and adjusting belt tension using a gauge, ensuring that machines run smoothly and efficiently.

Another video in the series demonstrates how to use sheave gauges to monitor machine wear. Worn sheave grooves can lead to premature belt wear and decreased operational efficiency. Stan Riddle explains how to check for wear using both belt and sheave gauges, providing practical tips on identifying when it’s time to replace or repair parts to prevent costly downtime.

The series also includes tutorials on using tools like a stroboscope and a micrometer. The videos demonstrate how to measure RPM for optimal machine performance and how to measure small distances with precision—key skills for maintenance tasks. Each video in Acoem’s Precision Maintenance Toolbox Series is designed to give viewers practical, hands-on experience with these essential tools.
