Emerson designed this 1.5-day course for individuals who have a basic understanding of lubrication. The focus of this course is the utilization of lubricant analysis, along with other predictive technologies, to enhance a machinery health management program including cost reduction techniques. This class covers machine life extension and reduction of unscheduled downtime in-depth. The class introduces lubricant engineering, failure concepts, and failure prevention. The class provides information on greases and synthetic lubricants, including advantages and applications. The class stresses the importance of Wear Debris Analysis, Contamination Control, and their impact on reliability. Guidelines and step by step procedures will be offered for consolidating lubricants, setting alarm limits, as well as, managing and enhancing existing lubricant analysis programs.
