Mechanical Rotating Equipment

(5 days)

For: Supervisors, engineers, and operations managers responsible for operating any rotating equipment.

Diagnosis and maintenance of rotating equipment requires an understanding of the interrelationships of the parts as explained in this course, whether the equipment be a generator, gas turbine, centrifugal compressor, or centrifugal pump. Specific faults occur, which differ as to the coupling between prime mover and operating unit. You learn the differences with magnetic drives, for instance.

You will leave with an understanding of such faults as misalignment, unbalance, soft-footing, resonance, bearing failures, and belt or coupling drive problems. For electric motor drives, you learn about shorted laminations, cracked rotor bars, and bad air gaps.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Introduction
