The bearing analysis software allows the calculation of the load distribution within the bearing and bearing life according to ISO/TS 16281 and it is integrated in a shaft system calculation with additional possibilities like modal analysis, strength calculation for shafts and interfaces to gear calculations. Currently the software is used by customers in 30 countries on four continents.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">General Extensions</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Some start parameters were added to allow an easier integration with other systems. Using the COM-Interface, now the parameter calculation can be called to generate additional results. The default for the Help system was set to an external viewer, which can also be started from network drives. Custom formulas can now be used within the parameter variation.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Extensions in the Bearing Calculation</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The bearing databases with catalog data from Schaeffler and SKF were updated. Schaeffler provides the number and dimensions of <a href="https://www.bearingroller.com/rolling-elements/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><strong>rolling elements</strong></span></a>, and the database has to be provided in encrypted format with hidden internal geometry. For the SKF database the dimensions of the rolling elements are still approximated. The detail geometry like curvatures or profiles are still approximated in both cases.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Regarding the bearing databases including internal geometry, the databases from CSC and HQW/Barden are unchanged from the last version. On request, additional databases are available from some bearing manufacturers, for example from GMN or IBC.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As new bearing types, <a href="https://www.wswbearings.com/products/Roller-Bearings/879.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><strong>toroidal roller bearings </strong></span></a>and<a href="https://www.sunspeedbearing.com/products/Thrust-roller-bearing/965.html" target="_self"><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">double row thrust cylindrical roller bearings</span></strong></a>were added. In contract to barrel roller bearings, toroidal roller bearings have no shoulders and allow larger axial displacements. The radial clearance is dependent on axial displacements. The <a href="http://www.dacbearing.com/products/Cylindrical-Roller-Bearings/196.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><strong>double row thrust cylindrical roller bearings</strong></span></a> have the same roller dimensions for both rows (see photo above).&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The track roller calculation with elastic outer ring is now also supported for <a href="https://www.bearing-asia.com/products/Deep-Groove-Ball-Bearing/79.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><strong>double row deep groove ball bearings</strong></span></a>. Previously, a configuration of two single row bearings had to be used.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Interference fits affect the operating clearance of bearings. As there had been some customer requests now also multi-layer interference fits can be defined. For the inner and outer ring fit several layers using different materials can now be defined. Influence of centrifugal forces and temperature is considered.&nbsp;</span></p><p><br/></p>
