Education Creates Strong Partnerships

For almost 40 years our focus on education and collaborative engineering has been the cornerstone of building strong partnerships with our clients. This month, we are highlighting some of the key educational resources we have created over the years.

The blocks below highlight some of our most popular educational assets and we encourage you to explore. Whether you prefer on-demand videos, long-form webpages, blog posts, or downloadable white papers, we think you’ll find something to interest you. Also included are some engineering tools such as our material database (450+ materials) and our bearing PV calculator.

Highlighting Our Newest Educational Tool | On-Demand Webinars

The newest tool in our suite of educational resources are our on-demand webinars. These focus on specific bearing materials and engineering topics that have proven popular with engineers over the years.

The webinars posted thus far have been presented by our Vice President of Engineering, Dave Biering, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, having been with TriStar for nearly 30 years (44 years in the industry overall).

We are adding new sessions weekly, so check back often!

We hope you have found this useful and if you have any feedback on anything you see here or if you would like to discuss an engineering challenge with our team, we encourage you to reach out.
