This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform fault diagnosis, installation and removal of bearings.

It covers performing routine bearing checks during operation and non-operation, diagnosing bearing faults, identifying bearing requirements for replacement or installation, and removing and installing bearings to industry and enterprise standards of quality and safety.

Where diagnostic skills are not required and where straightforward removal and replacement of pre-manufactured bearings is undertaken, unit MEM18055 Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components should be regarded as sufficient.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Plain bearings include one (1) or more of the following:	Rotational plain bearings: plain bush wrapped bush flanged bush split bush self-lubricating thrust bearings for radial thrust and combination radial and thrust loading applications
Anti-friction bearings include one (1) or more of the following:	Ball and roller bearings (anti-friction or rolling element bearings): self-aligning ball bearings with cylindrical bore taper bore (and adaptor sleeve) taper bore (and unthreaded adaptor sleeve) single row deep groove ball bearings magneto bearings (separable ball bearings) single row angular contact ball bearings double row angular contact ball bearings spherical roller bearings including narrow type and C design spherical roller bearings (NV, N NS Type) double row cylindrical roller bearings linear ball bearings needle roller bearings taper roller bearings single thrust ball bearings double thrust ball bearings single thrust ball bearings with spherical housing washer and seating ring spherical roller thrust bearings radial bearings with cylindrical, tapered bore (and adaptor or withdrawal sleeve associated bearings for radial, axial and combination radial and axial applications
Installation/removal methods include one (1) or more of the following:	press dowel keys keeper plate heat shrink hydraulic and mechanical mounting and dismounting tools and associated methods

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
