Bearing Installation Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Failure Analysis Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to provide managers, engineers, and technicians a comprehensive knowledge on lubrication, as well as to address the following questions about it:
· How do I choose the correct viscosity for each of my applications?
· What is the difference between single-grade and multi-grade engine oils, and which is best?
· How do I make management understand the importance of proper lubrication?
· How do I design a safe and efficient oil storage area?
· When is a flush required prior to refilling a system? ü Should I choose oil with a lower viscosity in the winter?
· Should I use oil reclamation to reduce our consumption of lubricants?
· How can I extend drain intervals without risking machine health?
· Should I just go with my OEM’s lubricant recommendation or is there another alternative?
· What inspections should be done when new lubricants are delivered?
· Is it a good idea to add more additives to used oils?
· How do I clean tanks, reservoirs, and lube storage containers?
When should I use a synthetic lubricant? This interactive training course includes the following training methodologies as a percentage of the total tuition hours:
