COURSE NO: M02-033
PDH CREDIT: 2
COURSE PROVIDER: Robert Tata, P.E.
Factors Influencing the Performance of Ball and Roller Bearings
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes the important factors that influence the performance of ball and roller bearings. These factors include calculated life variations, material and heat treat, manufacturing processes, lubrication, misalignment and mounting, and preloading. They should be considered when specifying bearings for a new application.

 

This 2 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, automotive engineers, design engineers, civil engineers, and any other discipline interested in rolling contact bearings, machine design or mechanical power transmissions.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding the performance characteristics of rolling contact bearings
  • Understanding the factors affecting bearing life calculations
  • Learning how material and heat treatment can affect bearing performance
  • Understanding the manufacturing processes and the effect of grain flow on performance
  • Learning how bearing misalignment and mounting can affect bearing performance
  • Understanding preloading and its effect on bearing and machine performance
