South Bend, Indiana. Attendees will bridge the gap between component design and failure as a result of relative motion between surfaces in contact and apply the latest lubrication technology to bearings. Course participants will receive an understanding of regimes of lubrication, 2-D and 3-D surface topographical characterization, surface and subsurface stress analysis, grease lubrication, applications in rolling element bearing design and much more. The American Bearings Manufacturers Association (ABMA) is focused on keeping the American bearing industry up-to-date through comprehensive educational programs and real-world applications.
