This lesson explains the purpose of bearings and demonstrates how bearings reduce friction and maintain the alignment of operating equipment. The basic operation of antifriction bearings and plain journal bearings is demonstrated as well as the importance of full fluid film lubrication and proper lubrication clearance. Additionally, indications of various premature bearing failures are discussed.
This course consists of three lessons designed for the training of bearings. Topics covered include the importance of bearings in machinery operation, concept of load and how it affects bearings, and housings. Additionaly, the main types of bearing are discussed: plain, anti-friction, and thrust bearings.
