Detailed simulation of rolling bearings

The detailed simulation of rolling bearings is interesting in the following cases:

• Within larger assemblies (gears, pumps, wind turbines, machine tools, agricultural machinery, etc.) if the bearing stiffness is not known in advance or there is a clear dependence on the operating point.
• As single bearing simulation for complex or combined load combinations and large or thin bearing rings.

Our specialized FE-bearing models are suitable for all applications. We use them to determine the service life for you under any operating conditions, deformations and stiffnesses, static and dynamic load ratings.

Some examples of products for which the detailed simulation of rolling bearings is suitable:

• Pumps (rotor dynamics, Campbell diagram, resonances)
• Wind power plants (lifetime)
• Transmission (natural frequencies, stiffness, strength)
• Turning and milling spindle (self-frencing, stiffness, service life, heat generation)
