Ball Bearing Fundamentals

Course No. M-3041

Credit: 3 PDH

Course Fee: $86.85 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Robert P. Tata, P.E.

 

Overview

Ball bearings are the heart of a machine! They lie deep inside, quietly doing their job, while the rest of the machine goes about its business making life much easier for mankind. Ball bearings operate so efficiently that they are sometimes referred to as being "anti-friction" devices. The high efficiency is the result of well engineered, precision manufactured products that are constructed of the finest materials available.

When a machine is being concepted, it is the duty of the ball bearing Application Engineer to get involved in the design as early as possible so that the forces acting on the bearing are computed, the correct product is selected, the method of mounting is established, and the type of lubrication and the need for closures (seals) is determined.

This course provides an overview of the basics of ball bearing fundamentals that is presented with more discussion than detail. It has almost as many pages of informative illustrations as pages of text. It describes with ample drawing support how to determine bearing loads on three commonly used gear drives. Next the three different kinds of ball bearings, radial, angular contact, and double row are examined along with how they are mounted, retained, lubricated, and sealed. Finally, drawings showing the three different ball bearings in various mechanical application environments are provided along with expert engineering analysis.

Since ball bearings are used in a wide variety of product, this course will provide useful information to a wide variety of engineering disciplines, including Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive, Aeronautical, Civil, and any others with a Machine Design option or having an interest in mechanical products.

To receive PDH credit for this course, the student must pass a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions.
