This document discusses methods for evaluating bearing loading conditions in rotating equipment. A system approach allows for detailed modeling of housing and bearing geometries as well as multi-shaft systems, but requires calculation software and bearing internal geometry details. A simpler beam model approach needs less application details but does not account for housing ovalization effects. Dedicated software running on a PC can be used for the beam model approach.
Bearing loading conditions: system approach
- 1. Evaluation of bearing loading conditions in rotating equipment Method Pros Cons System approach Detailed geometry of housing ovalization of bearing seats possibly taken into account Multi-shaft models Detailed internal bearing results Calculation software needed Bearing internal geometry needed Shaft and housing mostly modelled with beam finite elements (no ovalization) Medium amount of application details needed Dedicated software running on PC A.
