Bearings allow us to move an object on, or within, another object. Their main purpose is to extract desired motion from a whole motion. For example, a pump shaft that passes through a pump housing should rotate, but the housing should not. Almost all machines operate with some form of rotating, sliding or oscillating motion, where this occurs, bearings are used.
In this course, you’ll learn about the components, designs, and applications for anti-friction bearings, as well as the most suitable applications for each type of bearing.
Whether you're new to the topic or just need a refresher, this course will equip you with essential knowledge about anti-friction bearings. The course is suitable for engineers working in all engineering disciplines and in all industries.
