Bearing Lubrication and Analysis
About The Course
At the end of this programme, the participants are expected to:
• Better understanding of bearing and lubrication system and enable to modify lubrication supply system and construction to avoid repeating failures
• The participants will be able to shorten trouble shooting or repair time after having strong technical knowledge in approaching the systematic root cause analysis of bearing and lubrication system
• Capable and skillful to select types of bearing and lubricant fit to the operating condition
Design for
