Participants will also be taught about the basics in machinery lubrication, condition monitoring  and  maintenance.  Participants  will  understand  the  configurations  and operating characteristics of bearings and become familiar with the rotating equipments lubrication

including  its  various  system  types,  key  lubricant  characteristics  and  modes  of lubrication failure.

In general this course provides an in-depth understanding of power transmission and lubrication fundamentals.

The course is intended for individuals directly involved in the machinery lubrication process  whose  job  titles  may  include  Lubrication  Technician,  PM  Technician, Mechanic, Operator, etc.
