Condition Monitoring
Oct–16–17, 2024—Live Online Course
In this course we will examine each of these questions and the interrelation of each with a primary focus on how this information can be used to define the actions required to keep the gearbox running properly and to allow maintenance planning. There are many parameters that provide information about the condition of an operating gearbox, some are lubrication centric while others are operationally centric. Each parameter, individually and in combination, can provide insight into the condition of the gearbox and its individual components.Register Now
ABMA Lubrication and Wear: Advanced Concepts
Oct–1–3, 2024—University of Norte Dame
This course introduces attendees to important terminology; surface topography measurement, characterization, and application; the mechanics of surfaces in contact; the development of lubricant films; grease lubrication; and failure of rolling element bearings and mechanical components in motion. The purpose of this course is to bridge the gap between component design and component failure, as a result of relative motion between surfaces in contact.Register Now
Gearbox CSI: Forensic Analysis of Gear & Bearing Failures – Useful Tools for Optimizing Gear Design
Oct–22–24 & 29–31, 2024—Live Online Course
A good understanding of individual failure modes and the failure scenarios that led to the actual system failure is an essential skill to designing gear/bearing systems that will operate properly for their full design life. In this course, we will define and explain the nature of many gear and bearing failures and we will also discuss and describe various actual failure scenarios. In addition, a detailed primer on bearing technology prefaces the failure scenario discussions. You will gain a better understanding of various types of gears and bearings.Register Now
