Dana Inc. has expanded its training academy, which will now include two new modules covering component identification, maintenance and lubrication for Spicer drive axles.

Additional drive axle modules will be launched in November and December of this year and will cover power flow and operation and failure analysis.

Dana’s training academy is a learning management system that helps users better understand the company’s products through interactive slideshows and videos, the company says. The new modules are composed of chapters including component identification (drive axle configurations, forward carrier component identification and drive axle housing component identification) and maintenance and lubrication (lubrication level maintenance, weeps and leaks, lubrication failures, wheel-end maintenance and wheel-end failures).

Each course is followed by a quiz. A personalized certificate of completion is available for download and printing upon conclusion of a module.

The new drive axle training modules are now available on Dana’s website. The training academy is available on any web-enabled device, platform or browser.
