Project Description
Why attend
This course introduces a maintenance technician, the basic types of bearings and their common terminology. It discusses bearing design, installation and maintenance with emphasis on avoiding early failures. The delegates will be qualified to analyze failed bearings, so that a recurrence of failure will be prevented.
By successfully completing this course, each participant will be capable to recognize typical causes of early parts failure and outline precise maintenance practices to improve performance and prolong the lives of various machine parts. Knowledge and skills, both in maintaining and improving equipment, are presented and practiced in an easy way.
Familiarization on how to remove, inspect, maintain, select, design, handle, install, and troubleshoot bearings according to manufacturers’ instructions and best practices. Participants also learn how to identify worn bearings, and how to install and maintain bearings, applying the right procedures.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Apply systematic procedures on bearing installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and failure analysis.
Recognize different bearing components including plain bearing, ball or roller bearings, cage assembly and others.
Assess new technologies in bearing materials and designs.
Number different bearing types and their uses.
Implement proper bearing installation and check bearing lubrications.
Examine the lead, speed, life and tolerance of bearings and assess the reasons for bearing failure and failures.
Who should attend
This course covers methodical practices and procedures for the installation, inspection, maintenance, troubleshooting of bearings, for maintenance and reliability engineers and other maintenance personnel.
