Course Description

Humans have been using anti-friction bearings (rolling contact bearings) for thousands of years. But what are anti-friction bearings? Why are there so many different types? And why does every engineer need to know a little bit about them? The answers to all of these questions are in this course!

The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning anti-friction bearing knowledge. Even if you already have some background bearing knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher. Hope to see you on the course!

• Bearing lubrication.
• Bearing components.
• Bearing terminology.
• Ball and roller bearings.
• Bearing types (thrust, angular, self-aligning etc.).
• Which bearings are suitable for which application.
• And a lot more!
