Rotating Machinery Training Classes

[MDUPT]

I'm in search of a good training class that provides a broad overview of rotating machinery basics; vertical & horizontal alignment, vibration analysis, bearings, shafts, measuring & analyzing clearances, etc.

Recommendations that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Get hold of Hartford Steam Boilers- I am quit certain that they hold classes for their own people- may be for outsiders too!
Travelers Insurance Co. use to have such classes until they went belly up.

It would be useful to know ehere you are located and hence where you can go for a bit of training???

Cheddarcaveman, I would be willing to travel anywhere in the continental USA.

Byrdj, I have attended a generator operations class put on by HPC and it was very good. Don't know why I didn't think to look at them again. Thanks.

Hi MDUPT. I haven't tried out SKF's courses yet, but they may be worth looking into. They have topics in rotating machinery and vibration.

FLowserve does pump trainig classes primarily in their Dallas facility. Access the info from their website. Wide range of classes available, lots of hands-on in the lab.

Bently Nevada and possibly CSI (part of Emerson) should be able to help you out. BN will probably customise a course for you if you have enough participants - I have less familiarity with CSI, but they are direct competitors and will have similar offerings.
