NTN Roller Bearing Application and Maintenance Seminar

This intensive 3 1/2 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.
