Description
Learn about anti-friction bearing components, designs and applications. Ideal for all engineering industries.
Humans have been using anti-friction bearings (rolling contact bearings) for thousands of years. But what are anti-friction bearings? Why are there so many different types? And why does every engineer need to know a little bit about them? The answers to all of these questions are in this course!
In this course, you will learn:
- History of anti-friction bearings.
- Bearing theory (friction, loads etc.).
- Bearing functions.
- Bearing lubrication.
- Bearing components.
- Bearing terminology.
- Ball and roller bearings.
- Bearing types (thrust, angular, self-aligning etc.).
- Which bearing is suitable for which application.
- And a lot more!
The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning anti-friction bearing knowledge. Even if you already have some background bearing knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher.
Hope to see you on the course!
