ABMA Advanced Concepts of Bearing Technology
Rosemont, ILhttps://www.americanbearings.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1684956&group=
This ABMA course builds on the foundations of the essential course and challenges the experienced engineer in areas such as failure modes, friction & wear, fatigue life calculation methods and load distribution. This is an exceptional course for engineers with 2-3 years' work experience in bearings or past attendees of the Essential Concepts of Bearing Technology.
Course participants will enhance understanding of:
- Bearing Macrogeometry: Clearance, Free Contact Angle, Interference Fits
- Ball/Roller Loading: Static/Inertial
- Contact Stresses, Deflection, & Subsurface Stresses
- Internal Load Distribution – Speed & Motion
- Concepts of Friction & Wear: Surface Topography
- Fundamentals of Fatigue Life Theory
- Contact Friction
- Bearing Friction & Reference Speeds
- Permanent Deformations & Static Capacity
- Fatigue Life Prediction: Standards & Advanced Calculations
- Testing Methods & Statistical Analysis
- Lubricants & Rheology & EHL
- Shaft-Bearing Systems & Performance Analysis
Instructors: Tim Ovaert, Brian Werner and Dan Snyder
