BEARING LUBRICATION AND ANALYSIS

BENEFIT :

At the end of this programme, the participants are expected to:

v  Better understanding of bearing and lubrication system and enable to modify lubrication supply system and construction to avoid repeating failures

v  The participants will be able to shorten trouble shooting or repair time after having strong technical knowledge in approaching the systematic root cause analysis of bearing and lubrication system

v  Capable and skillful to select types of bearing and lubricant fit to the operating condition
