Basics - calculations - applications

In cooperation with Gesellschaft für Tribologie (GfT)

The efficiency and service life of plain bearings are a result of the interaction between the operating conditions, shafts, bearings, the bearing environment, and the lubricant used. Damage to the bearings as well as subsequent damage can be avoided with suitable bearing design. The goal of this seminar is to convey the basics for selecting suitable bearings, materials, and lubricants, methods for effective bearing design and analysis, and corrective measures to remediate bearing damage when it occurs.

Target audience

Drive technology specialists and managers from research and development, design, calculation, maintenance, and repair
