This course teaches the differences between ball and roller bearings and the advantages of each. It then goes through the steps in specifying the bearings needed to support a pinion gear in a gearbox. It ends with drawings of cylindrical roller bearings in mechanical equipment with expert analysis.
This course is for Mechanical Engineers, Automotive Engineers, Design Engineers, Civil Engineers, and any other discipline interested in rolling contact bearings, machine design, or mechanical power transmission.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the different types and uses of rolling-contact bearings.
- Compare the performance of ball and roller bearings.
- Select bearings for a gearbox application.
- Calculate the required bearing capacity using the bearing life equation.
- Interpret bearing inner- and outer-ring mounting fits.
- Describe the different cylindrical roller bearing configurations.
- Identify available cylindrical roller bearing retention methods.
- Explain the use of a cylindrical roller bearing without an inner ring.
- Describe the use of a cylindrical roller bearing without an outer ring.
- Determine when a cylindrical roller bearing without a separator is appropriate.
- Explain how a cylindrical roller bearing can aid gear assembly and removal.
- Design a bearing mounting that allows through-boring of the housing.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
