Training Module For Vibrating Screens For Specifying Bearings To Withstand Harsh Working Environments
A new online training module has been introduced to the increasingly popular NSK academy online platform. The latest module, which focusses on vibrating screens, will appeal to all involved in specifying bearings to withstand the harsh working environments found in mining, quarrying and construction applications.
As with all training modules available at NSK academy, registered users completing the course will require an 80% pass mark to receive a certificate.
High-frequency vibrating screens are among the most important machines used in segregating (sizing and grading) different materials at cement plants, rock quarries and mines around the world. Due to inherent vibration, the components used in these machines have to be robust and reliable, none more so than the bearings.
Correctly specified and mounted bearings provide increased fatigue strength against the effects of vibration and shock load conditions. For instance, a special cage design can minimise resonance from induced vibrations, while simultaneously resisting thermal effects.
Moreover, enhanced surface finish on the rollers and rings reduces the potential for damage caused by slippage, flaking or surface fatigue.
The latest training module has been devised to help equipment OEMs understand the fundamental principles behind bearing selection for vibrating screens.
Featured content includes an overview of vibrating screen functionality, as well as the common types, terminology and key operating parameters. There is also a major focus on the bearings deployed in these applications, including their main features, specifications and benefits.
Anyone at a vibrating screen OEM who is active in product sales, technical support, maintenance, engineering or R&D, will benefit from the training module. The course can be found at www.nskacademy.com (a quick and easy registration process is required for those new to the site).
The founding principle of the NSK academy is to help participants expand on the knowledge they apply on a day-to-day basis, and utilise the latest NSK bearing solutions to maximise machine life.
Each training course is designed to increase the skill levels of staff and help OEMs benefit from higher profitability thanks to reduced maintenance times.
Complementing the online portal are various face-to-face training programmes that have been developed to aid those involved in specifying, using and maintaining bearings.
Current courses available include an introduction to bearings, a specific course on maintenance and another focussing on precision bearings for machine tool applications.
Although offered at two dedicated centres – Guyancourt (France) and Tilburg (Netherlands) – training can be delivered at any NSK site in Europe or at individual customer premises.

About us
Established over 100 years ago, NSK (Nippon Seiko Kabushiki Kaisha) is a Japanese-listed company that has evolved from a regional ball bearing supplier to a roller bearing specialist and automotive supplier with a global market presence. Today, NSK employs more than 31,400 employees in 30 countries. As per March 2019, NSK achieved sales of 991,4 billion Yen. This result has been driven by ever-increasing investment in research & development, enabling the company to continuously improve the quality of its products and services. This investment supports NSK’s objective of “No. 1 in Total Quality”. In addition to a complete rolling bearing portfolio, NSK develops and manufactures precision components and mechatronic products, as well as systems and components for the automotive industry, including wheel bearing units and electric power-steering systems. In 1963, NSK’s first European subsidiary, Düsseldorf, Germany, was opened and in 1976, the first European production facility in Peterlee, England. Today, NSK Europe supports pan-European sales with production locations in England, Poland and Germany, logistics centres in the Netherlands, Germany and England and technology centres in Germany, England and Poland. In 1990, NSK purchased the UPI Group including the renowned European bearing manufacturer RHP, with its factory in Newark (UK). Additionally, NSK has developed a comprehensive network of authorised sales distributors. NSK Europe is divided into application-based business divisions: Industry rolling bearing technologies & linear and precision technology (EIBU) as well as bearing modules and steering systems for the automotive industry (EABU & ESBU). In this organisation, NSK Europe's 4,260 employees achieved a turnover of over 1,045 million Euros as per March 2019.
