In this free online course The Fundamentals Of Anti-friction Bearings you will learn about anti-friction bearing components, and their designs and applications. But what are anti-friction bearings? Why are there so many different types? And why does every engineer need to know a little bit about them? The answers to all of these questions are in this course!

The course begins by describing the history of anti-friction bearings. It lists the different types of bearing lubrication, and bearing types (Thrust, Angular, Self-aligning). You'll learn about bearing theory (Friction, Loads), bearing components, and compare ball and roller bearings.

Humans have been using anti-friction bearings (rolling contact bearings) for thousands of years. In the modern world they are everywhere - cars, bicycles, motors and even kitchen drawers. As an engineer it's very important to know all about them. Start this course today - It is designed to teach you all about anti-friction bearings. Even if you already have some existing bearing knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher. Hope to see you on the course!
