Bearing Operation, Maintenance & Failure Analysis

Bearing Operation, Maintenance & Failure Analysis is designed to provide practical knowledge of bearing selection, operation, maintenance, and failure diagnosis in industrial equipment. The course explains different types of bearings, their construction, applications, and operating principles. Participants learn about bearing loads, speed ratings, lubrication requirements, and operating conditions. It covers proper bearing installation, mounting, alignment, handling, and removal techniques. The course also focuses on preventive and condition-based maintenance practices for improving bearing reliability. Participants understand common causes of bearing damage such as misalignment, overloading, contamination, poor lubrication, and improper installation. Various bearing failure patterns and their identification methods are discussed in detail. The course introduces inspection techniques and basic condition monitoring methods for detecting early-stage bearing problems. Practical approaches to troubleshooting bearing-related issues in rotating machinery are also covered. By the end of the course, participants can apply effective maintenance and failure-analysis techniques to improve equipment performance and reduce unplanned downtime.
