MEC 240 Motors, Drives, & Mechanical Transfer Systems

Building upon fundamental knowledge of mechanical, electrical and control systems, this course provides experience with the transfer of power through drives, motors, and mechanical elements. The course covers the application of VFDs and stepper/servo controllers and drives within a mechatronic system including all its mechanical components.  Students learn how to safely construct, optimize and repair electro-mechanical components of mechatronic systems associated with power transfers.
