Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. It is an industry recognized fact that in excess of 90% of premature bearing failures can be attributed to lubrication, contamination or installation issues. Determining the true cause of bearing failure, subsequently correcting this problem and then adopting the correct fitting procedures can dramatically increase bearing life and resulting in an overwhelming increase in equipment reliability and a dramatic reduction in unplanned downtime. This course introduces a maintenance employee to the basic types of bearings and common nomenclature used. Bearing design, installation and maintenance is discussed with a focus on preventing premature failure. The participant is also trained to analyze failed bearings so a similar occurrence will not happen again. Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to identify common sources of premature machinery failure and define precision mechanical maintenance practices to improve performance and extend machinery life.This course is designed to get the most critical part of a Machinery Improvement program into action. Skills and awareness to both maintain and considerably improve your equipment are presented and practiced in an easy to understand format. It is also designed in order to make participants familiar with how to remove, inspect, maintain, select, design, handle, install, and troubleshoot bearings according to manufacturers instructions and best practices. Participants learn how to identify
