Forms - causes - analysis

Rolling bearings are an important element in a variety mechanical systems. Unforeseen rolling bearing damage can lead to high repair and outage costs. Knowledge of damage mechanisms and influencing factors is of great importance in avoiding rolling bearing damage. The goal of this seminar is to explain rolling bearing damage mechanisms and to derive methods for damage prevention based on real-world examples. A targeted approach to rolling bearing damage analysis will also be presented.

Target audience

This seminar is intended for customer service employees, design engineers, operating engineers, and maintenance and repair specialists. 

Main topics

The following topics will be covered:

  • Overview of the different types of rolling bearing damage

  • Presentation of the appearance and causes of damage

  • Explanation of the significant influencing factors and recommendations for damage prevention

  • Rolling bearing failure analysis approach and methodology

  • Real-world examples of damage

Objectives

The goal of the seminar is to explain damage mechanisms and damage prevention methods.

  • Reliable detection and classification of rolling bearing damage

  • Understanding of the underlying damage influencing factors

  • Qualitative assessment of damage avoidance mechanisms

  • Systematic approach to damage analysis
