PETROLEUM DIRECTORY: U.S. Bearings teams up with Henkel Loctite on training workshop

U.S. Bearings and Drives and Henkel Loctite Corp. have teamed up to bring a Loctite training workshop to Anchorage on May 4. The team is also offering the three-hour program to US Bearings customers — at the customer’s office.

According to U.S. Bearings, the objective of the program is to learn how today’s MRO technology helps users cut maintenance time and costs while increasing the reliability of equipment.

The brochure for the training says, “You’ll gain a working knowledge of faster, better, lower cost ways to bond, seal, fasten, gasket and assemble parts in a proactive fashion.”

The focus of the training is “on proactive techniques, not product specifications,” U.S. Bearings said in its literature.

“Attendees will learn how to eliminate chronic failures, thereby reducing downtime, increasing productivity, and extending equipment life,” the company said.

Who does U.S. Bearings recommend attend? Supervisors, productivity managers, maintenance managers, production managers, superintendents, leadmen, purchasing agents and reliability engineers.

Henkel Loctite instructors will be on hand to assist attendees with maintenance advice.

U.S. Bearings said participants should bring their “parts, prints and problems” with them to the training session. Instructors will “study your specific applications and suggest new and better methods to increase up-time,” the company said.

The training session will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the University of Alaska-Anchorage, Business Education Building.
