KISSsoft Shaft and Bearings Calculation

The main objective of this introductory training is to provide the basic handling and understanding of the KISSsoft software and its user interface teaching participants on the data entry and the calculation possibilities of shafts and bearings in order to operate and apply the software correctly and efficiently in the design process. The training focuses on rolling bearings as this group is the one that is most commonly used.
