BRG Machinery Consulting- Rotordynamics Training

With more than 75 years of experience in the field of rotor dynamics, BRG's training team has the tools to teach difficult material to any audience. Our courses are applied without overdependence on equations and math. They are filled with hands on tutorials and real life case studies. Specific courses are tailored to the interest and depth requested by the participants.

Understand the difference between a good design and a poor one.
Redesign bearings, couplings, seals, rotor to improve rotordynamic performance

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

BRG offers a variety of rotor dynamic training courses to serve a wide spectrum of students. We offer hands on training for mechanics and technicians with little background in engineering. We offer introductory level courses for new engineers with little experience in rotordynamics. Finally, we offer advanced courses for experienced rotordynamic engineers anxious to learn the latest techniques and methods.
