Whole-Day Technical Training on MCY13/MCP16 Axle Headed by Sir Jeovanni Aplaca
Continuous learning and skills upgrading are vital in the field of truck and heavy equipment maintenance. With the growing demand for reliable after-sales service, it is essential for technicians to be fully equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Last week, a comprehensive whole-day training on the MCY13/MCP16 axle was successfully conducted, spearheaded by Sir Jeovanni Aplaca.
The training gathered technicians from various regions, all eager to enhance their knowledge and competencies on axle systems, particularly the MCY13 and MCP16 axles, which are widely used in commercial trucks. The program was designed not only to expand technical skills but also to strengthen teamwork, troubleshooting efficiency, and overall confidence in handling axle-related maintenance and repairs.
Training Objectives
The one-day training was organized with clear and focused objectives:
-
Introduce the technical components of the MCY13 and MCP16 axles.
-
Demonstrate the proper disassembly and assembly procedures for accurate and efficient repair.
-
Explain the function and importance of each axle part in relation to vehicle safety and performance.
-
Enhance troubleshooting skills to identify common axle problems and apply appropriate solutions.
-
Promote safe handling and maintenance practices when working with heavy axle components.
These objectives set the tone for a highly productive training day that balanced both theory and hands-on practice.
Morning Session: Theoretical Training
The training began early in the morning with an introduction led by Sir Jeovanni Aplaca. He highlighted the importance of understanding the fundamentals of axle systems before moving into practical work.
The theoretical session covered the following topics:
-
Overview of the MCY13 and MCP16 Axles – including specifications, applications, and common usage in trucks.
-
Detailed Component Functions – bearings, shafts, differential gears, oil seals, and housing.
-
Lubrication and Maintenance Requirements – correct oil type, intervals, and the impact of poor lubrication.
-
Failure Analysis – common axle failures, their symptoms, root causes, and preventive measures.
-
Safety Guidelines – proper handling of heavy axle parts and adherence to workplace safety standards.
Sir Jeovanni used visual aids, diagrams, to make the lecture more interactive. Technicians were encouraged to ask questions, and many shared their personal field experiences, which made the discussion lively and relatable.
Afternoon Session: Practical Hands-On Training
After a quick lunch break, the group moved to the practical hands-on training, which was the highlight of the day. The technicians were divided into smaller groups, each assigned with specific axle components to work on.
The hands-on session focused on:
-
Disassembly Process – step-by-step guidance on how to carefully dismantle the MCY13/MCP16 axle without causing damage to components.
-
Inspection of Parts – checking for wear, cracks, and alignment issues that could compromise axle performance.
-
Proper Measurement Techniques – using tools like micrometers and calipers to check clearances and tolerances.
-
Assembly Procedures – putting the axle back together with correct torque application and sequence.
-
Testing and Troubleshooting – simulating axle problems and applying corrective measures.
Under the supervision of Sir Jeovanni, the participants worked together to complete each process. He emphasized the importance of accuracy, cleanliness, and teamwork, noting that even a small mistake in axle assembly can lead to major vehicle failures on the road.
