Details:
Half-day (4-hour) interactive workshop
Exact time: 1:00PM to 5:00PM
Description:
This hands-on workshop will de-mystify fluid film bearings commonly used on large industrial blowers by explaining maintenance, operational, and condition monitoring best practices. The training will assume no prior knowledge on hydrodynamic bearings, but by the end you will be equipped to resolve problems on bearings that are often highly critical and highly obscure.
Discussion will include: Fundamental theory of fluid film bearings, common failure modes & remedies, comparison between rolling element bearings and journal bearings, bearing rework: pros & cons, and benefits of circulating oil.
