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. For more information contact NTN Bearing Corporation of Canada, Rolling Bearing Application and Maintenance Seminar, tel.
