This intensive 3 day course on the design, application and maintenance of anti-friction bearings, is presented using lectures and hands-on workshops. The workshops have been selected to highlight common maintenance problems which result in premature bearing failure.

In conjunction with classroom lectures, the participants will learn, in a hands-on environment, the correct procedures for mounting the following types of bearings:

• Large bore spherical roller bearings (including the use of hydraulics)
• Tapered roller bearings (mounting and setting end play)
• Deep groove ball bearings
• Cylindrical roller bearings
• Bearing units
• Small bore spherical roller bearing pillow blocks
 

The participants will learn the fundamentals of current bearing technology including:

• Bearing design and materials
• Cage configurations and materials: features and benefits
• Extra precision: what is required
• Bearing life: theory vs. reality

The program ideally is suited to anyone involved in the maintenance of machinery and specifically, those whose duties include the installation and maintenance of anti-friction bearings. The program is structured so that it is not specific to any industry.
