Course program

Day 1	General information about bearings and bearing systems used in the construction of industrial machines Sliding bearings Introduction and characteristics of the use of sliding bearings Construction and classification of sliding bearings Conditions and technical variations of sliding friction Rolling bearings Introduction and characteristics of the use of rolling bearings Construction and classification of radial and thrust rolling bearings Manufacturing process of rolling bearings Basic functional characteristics of rolling bearings Analysis of tolerances and fits as well as dimensional chains in the construction of bearing nodes (solving dimensional chains, determining the type of fit) Theoretical foundations for the assembly and disassembly of rolling bearings - selection of fit (types of ring load, load cases of bearings) Designation of rolling bearings, rolling bearing arrangements (basic solutions of rolling bearing arrangements, application and loads of rolling bearing arrangements)
Day 2	Selection of rolling bearings (general selection rules in terms of hourly life and equivalent load) Theoretical basis of assembly and disassembly of rolling bearings (assembly requirements, mechanical assembly, thermal assembly, hydraulic assembly) Methods of fixing rolling bearings (bearing nuts and bearing washers, snap rings, covers and retaining sleeves, placing bearings on shaft journals) Lubrication of rolling bearings (purposes of lubrication, choice of lubricant, periodic lubrication of bearings, grease lubrication) Rolling bearing seals (division of seals, groups of elastomers used to make seals and their characteristics) Visual assessment of the operational wear of rolling bearings
Day 3	Practice in assembly and disassembly of roller bearings Mechanical assembly and disassembly of bearings in blind holes Mechanical assembly and disassembly of bearings on outer surfaces of shafts Assembly and disassembly of self-aligning bearing with the use of hydraulic nuts Thermal assembly and disassembly of cylinder bearings (with the use of heaters and induction hobs) Disassembly of bearings with the use of mechanical and hydraulic pullers Measurement of bearing clearance Using stethoscopes (vibro-acoustic diagnostics) to diagnose operational condition of roller bearings

Laboratory

Multimedia overhead projector, whiteboard, laptop for the tutor and participants. Training positions designed to enable performing essential exercises connected with exploitation of bearings: assembly, disassembly, lubrication.

Training methods

The main objective of the course is presenting basic theory related to the design and exploitation of bearings with a view to its practical application in the industry. In case of trainings addressed to maintenance engineers we provide some additional information about damage diagnosis methods and forecasting possible failures.

Intended for

The training is addressed to workers occupying different positions (construction engineers, production workers, maintenance engineers etc.). Optimal audience would be a team working within one unit (together with a manager and employees). Such a solution makes it possible to recognize limitations and knowledge gaps of the employees and assess possible discrepancies between expectations of the management staff and the workforce.

Benefits for participants

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

Use terminology connected with the area of bearing,
Tell the difference between various bearings, assess their technical condition, select the right bearings,
Use standards and select standardized and unified elements,
Use and diagnose bearings properly.

Catering

In addition to the substantive aspect, the comfort of our training participants is very important to us. We provide students with a climatic cafe and restaurant space, which is a place for refreshments and relaxation during breaks. We invite you to use the coffee bar and the modern massage chair!

During each training day, participants receive:

Unlimited access to the Cechownia Cafe coffee bar, serving tea and high-quality freshly ground coffee. The bar is equipped with:
- NECTO Karisma - a professional espresso machine of Italian production.
- THERMOPLAN BW 4 - a professional espresso machine made in Switzerland.
These are coffee machines used in the best coffee shops. According to your taste, we serve unique types of coffee - Cappuccino, Espresso, Americano, Caffe Latte and Turkish coffee. Training participants can also use unlimited sparkling and still water, juices and sweets.

Two-course dinner - a combination of traditional, home-made flavors with meals served in restaurants.

Until 4:00 PM in the cafe on the first floor you can also buy fresh sandwiches, cakes, sweet and salty snacks and cold drinks. After training - from 4:00 PM - we invite you to try the delicious dishes of the Cechownia Restaurant, prepared by the best chefs in Gliwice.
