More realistic bearing simulation
Including bearing ring flexibility in a system model using Romax Spin
Romax Spin offers a combined simulation approach (analytical and FE) which allows you to account for race flexibility without dramatically increasing the computation time (up to 15 times faster than full FEA). The method creates a mesh to represent the bearing race, and generates connections between the bearing elements and the races and between the race and the shaft/housing.
This consideration is combined with Romax’s industry-leading bearing stiffness model, which quickly and accurately considers many aspects of bearing design, including load, manufacturing or mounting clearance, internal details, roller and race profiles, varying contact angles between the rolling elements and the raceways, mounting fit, temperatures, and more.
This allows for realistic conditions to be simulated as part of Romax’s advanced bearing analysis, including advanced fatigue life methods, accurate prediction of element and raceway stresses, rib contact, edge stress, and contact truncation, to give you the insight required to design and select bearings for optimum performance and durability, as part of a system model.
