Bearing Fundamentals
Date/Time: Wednesday, February 6, 2013; 12-1 pm CST (with additional time for Q&A from 1-1:30)
Instructor: Dr. Robert M. Gresham, Director of Professional Development, STLE
Overview: This basic webinar is designed for those new to the industry or at least new to the subject of bearings. The webinar will cover the 20 types of plain, rolling element and miscellaneous types of bearings showing what they look like and describing their primary design function.Then, we'll move on to general bearing lubrication including a very brief review of lubrication methods for bearing lubrication.
Cost: $39 for members; $59 for non-members
