Investigation into the types of bearings encountered in industry: mounted, unmounted as well as the use of ball, needle, and roller bearings. Hands-on activities involve bearing identification, choice and installation as well as bearing disassembly for failure inspection. Learn how to use bearing fit tables, how to reduce clearance in a split pillow block bearing, and the feeler gauge technique for bearing alignment. Vibration measurement to determine a failing bearing and proper bearing lubrication procedures are part of the “hands-on” components of the course.
