Mechanical path: bearings, lubrication, alignment, pumps, and rotating equipment

The Mechanical path is 22 free millwright courses. It starts with bearings, lubrication, and shaft alignment — the jobs that still get written up as “replace the bearing” when the steel is trying to tell you something else.

What the Mechanical path is

ForgeLine Academy’s catalog is 78 courses. 44 are free: 22 Mechanical and 22 Electrical. Premium is I&E and Engineering. The Mechanical path is the millwright ladder: bearings and alignment, pumps and mechanical seals, conveyors, gearboxes, couplings, fans, hydraulics, vibration, thermography, ultrasound lubrication, rigging, machine guarding, precision maintenance, and rotating-equipment reliability. It is not a four-hour overview of the plant and it is not 22 courses pretending to be the whole academy.

First course: Bearings, Lubrication & Alignment Fundamentals. Most bearing failures on the plant floor are lubrication or alignment. The procedure happens before anyone pulls a housing. From there, pumps and seals, conveyors and drives, measurement, and the predictive tools (vibration, IR, ultrasound) that keep you from living in breakdown.

This dedicated landing exists because /paths is a JavaScript app. Search and curl-no-JS get this HTML: unique title, this H1, and the actual path description. Interactive progress still lives in the app once you sign in. We do not invent testimonials. We do not promise a license. Certificates of completion after quizzes go in the file.
