Introduction

A vision into the appearance and fundamental causes of rolling bearings failure modes. This training provides bearings users with the necessary skills to examine, assess and recognize common bearing failure modes.

 


Cetim, the leading French Technical Centre for Mechanical Industry, was established in 1965 to support innovation and competitiveness of engineering companies through its multidisciplinary expertise and unique R&D capabilities.

In Asia Pacific, CETIM-Matcor, a forward-looking company, is specialized in the field of Material & Corrosion Assessment, Failure Analysis & Forensic Investigation and Mechanical Power Transmission.

Jointly with NTU, CETIM-Matcor will conduct advanced engineering courses for engineers who will like to understand and learn in depth knowledge from our experience trainers with vast industrial and field experience. Courses are largely focused on Corrosion Engineering and Failures Analysis in areas such as Pressurized Equipment, Shafts, Gears & Bearings as well as Forensic Engineering Investigation.


The training provides participants with:

  • Understating of normal and abnormal wear patterns of bearings.
  • Recognition of bearing failure caused by misalignment, unbalance, incorrect bearing applications, incorrect installation;
  • Understanding why and how bearings fail in operation.

  • ISO Standards
    • Key principles in ISO Standards
    • Members (how to get involved), Technical Committees and Working Groups
    • The different type of ISO publications
  • Bearings - General considerations
    • Overview and Vocabulary
    • Main types of bearings
    • Types of bearing cages
    • Protection and Sealing
    • Bearings assembly and Lubrication
  • Bearings - Typical deteriorations
    • Terms and definitions - ISO 15243
    • Classification of failure modes in rolling bearings
    • Failure modes:
      • Rolling contact fatigue
      • Wear
      • Corrosion
      • Electrical erosion
      • Plastic deformation
      • Cracking and fracture
  • Case studies (a chance to test your failure recognition skills).
Questions / answers.
The course is designed for various disciplines that includes Maintenance, Machine Repair, or Plant/Facility Engineering staff. Rotating Equipment Engineers. Largely, those interested in rolling bearing and rotating equipment performance.
