Why Bearings Fail

This course is a basic primer for addressing the most common causes of bearing failures in gearboxes and related equipment.  Understanding the causes of failures normally results in improving the performance of the equipment.  The course will provide both original equipment manufacturers' and end-users' valuable insights into bearing designs, features and proper bearing application.  Instructors will use pictorial examples and “hands on” failures to further demonstrate and explain the common causes of bearing failures. Engineers from the American Bearing Manufacturers Association member companies will conduct this course and provide answers to questions from the registrants.
