This lesson is designed so that no prior knowledge is required.
This lesson focuses on the general purpose of an effective predictive maintenance program by showing how methods such as vibration analysis, and lubricant and trend analysis can be used to determine equipment condition and predict equipment life.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with the basic principles and practices of predictive maintenance.
This lesson teaches how to monitor vibration and perform a vibration analysis. The lesson also covers how to determine velocity and displacement as well as how to use a vibration analyzer and interpret various vibration patterns.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with the basic principles and practices of predictive maintenance.
This lesson introduces the principles of lubricant and trend analysis. The lesson shows how to take oil samples and read an oil analysis report as well as how to identify and interpret trends.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with the components and functions of bearings in relation to rotating equipment as well as with the procedures for installing bearings. A basic understanding of the principles and practices of predictive maintenance is also required.
This lesson presents guidelines for maximizing the operational life of bearings for rotating equipment. The lesson emphasizes the proper handling, storage, installation, and maintenance of bearings.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with precision measuring instruments, specifically dial indicators. A basic understanding of the principles and practices of predictive maintenance is also required.
This lesson describes the principles of the reverse double dial alignment method used to measure and correct misalignment. The lesson also explains the data needed to determine offset and angularity misalignment values by using a graph. Formulas used to calculate misalignment corrections and factors which may affect alignment are also presented.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with precision measuring instruments, specifically dial indicators, and the principles of reverse double dial alignment. A basic understanding of the principles and practices of predictive maintenance is also required.
This lesson shows how to use the reverse double dial alignment procedure to determine and correct misalignment as well as how to take dial indicator readings. The lesson also teaches how to calculate the necessary vertical and horizontal adjustments and how to verify the results. Emphasis is on good record-keeping, the importance of accurately reading the dial indicators, and performing the calculations correctly to ensure that proper alignment is achieved.
