Specialty Ball Bearings
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course teaches basic principles of ball bearings and the many variations of ball bearings that are used in today's industrial products including a number of drawings depicting the mounting and application of these various products.

 

Ball bearings are precision engineering components that are used primarily to support rotating shafts in mechanical equipment. They can be found in everything from personal computers to passenger cars. They are of simple design and can be manufactured in mass production quantities. They can support heavy loads over a wide speed range and do it virtually friction free. They come in many different sizes and shapes, are relatively inexpensive, and require little or no maintenance. They have predictable design lives and operating characteristics and are truly a valuable asset to today's rotating equipment industry.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, automotive engineers, design engineers, and any other discipline interested in gaining a better understanding of specialty ball bearings in machine design or mechanical power transmission.
