Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to undertake maintenance, diagnose faults and repair drives and transmission assemblies, and undertake final adjustment and commissioning on industrial machinery.

Where levelling and alignment of machines and engineering components is required unit MEM18009 Perform precision levelling and alignment of machines and engineering components should also be selected.

MEM27028 Diagnose and rectify manual transmissions, MEM27014 Diagnose and rectify automatic transmissions and MEM27015 Diagnose and rectify drive line and final drives define the skills and knowledge applicable to mobile plant.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 4

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

worm and worm wheel

line shafts

plumber blocks

pulleys

sprockets

belts

taper bush assemblies

roller chains

chain drives

mechanical and hydraulic couplings

compression couplings

disc type flexible couplings

spider type

chain couplings

sound

sight

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Read service reports and undertake visual and sensory inspection of the drive/transmission assembly
