Advanced Bearing Root Cause Damage Analysis (ISO 15243:2017)

Investigating Bearing Failures Using ISO Classification and Diagnostic Techniques

Why Choose Advanced Bearing Root Cause Damage Analysis (ISO 15243:2017) Training Course?

In industrial operations, bearing failures are among the most common—and costly—causes of machinery downtime. Understanding not just how a bearing failed, but why, is vital to minimizing equipment failure and maintaining asset integrity. The Advanced Bearing Root Cause Damage Analysis (ISO 15243:2017) Training Course provides maintenance and reliability professionals with expert-level skills to identify, classify, and analyze complex bearing damage modes in accordance with the internationally recognized ISO 15243:2017 standard.

This Bearing Root Cause Damage Analysis Course goes far beyond basic troubleshooting. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the standardized classification of bearing damage, including fatigue, wear, corrosion, electrical erosion, and improper handling. Through structured methodologies, real-world case studies, visual inspection techniques, and failure mode analysis, this course empowers professionals to conduct precise root cause investigations and implement lasting corrective and preventive actions.

Participants will also explore contributing factors such as poor lubrication, contamination, misalignment, and improper installation. The training fosters a proactive maintenance mindset, enhancing reliability, safety, and cost efficiency across operational environments. Whether in oil & gas, power generation, manufacturing, or heavy industry, professionals will leave equipped to boost asset performance and drive a culture of reliability excellence.

What are the Goals?

By the end of this Root Cause Damage Analysis Training Course, participants will be able to:

  • Expertly interpret and apply the ISO 15243:2017 bearing damage classification system
  • Identify and differentiate complex bearing damage mechanisms with confidence
  • Conduct detailed root cause failure analysis (RCFA) for critical rotating equipment
  • Apply advanced inspection and diagnostic techniques during failure investigations
  • Recommend and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence
  • Contribute to optimized lubrication and contamination control practices
  • Support the development of predictive and proactive maintenance programs
