Details:
Half-day (4-hour) interactive workshop
Exact time: 1:00PM to 5:00PM
Description:
Introduction to Bearing Failure Analysis (approx. 1 hour) – NTN will present Bearing Failure Modes and Typical Causes. This presentation will cover topics including commonly observed bearing failure modes & causes, terminology, and visual appearance.
Failure Analysis Process (approx. 1 hour) – NTN will discuss the importance of bearing failure analysis as well as outline the process used to perform an effective analysis. This discussion will include steps throughout the analysis process including parts and data collection, observations & measurements, discovery meetings, technical reporting, and follow up.
Hands-on Bearing Failure Case Study Examples (approx. 1.5 hours) – NTN will provide multiple real-life samples of bearing failures for analysis. Attendees will split into groups of four to five people and visit each of the failure samples where they will use the theories, tools, and techniques discussed in the previous sessions to analyze the likely root cause of failure for each sample.
Bearing Failure Case Study Examples Review (approx. 0.5 hour) – NTN will review each case study failure sample with the attendees and compare findings between groups.
