Welcome to the PF. 
We cannot help you unless you show us all of your work on this problem. That's in the PF rules for schoolwork (see INFO at the top of the page).

In addition to showing your work, it will probably be necessary for you to translate your additional information. Only a limited number of folks here are proficient in German, and you have a much better shot at useful answers if you make it available to a wider group to help.
1. What is the purpose of optimizing bearing design?
The purpose of optimizing bearing design is to improve the efficiency and performance of a bearing, reducing friction and wear, and increasing its lifespan. This is important in engineering as bearings are used in a variety of applications, from automobiles to industrial machinery, and optimizing their design can lead to improved functionality and cost savings.
2. What factors are considered when optimizing bearing design?
When optimizing bearing design, factors such as load capacity, speed, lubrication, and material properties are taken into consideration. The goal is to find the best combination of these factors to minimize friction, reduce wear, and increase the bearing's lifespan.
3. How is the load capacity of a bearing determined?
The load capacity of a bearing is determined by considering the magnitude and direction of the applied load, as well as the size and shape of the bearing. Factors such as bearing type, material, and lubrication also play a role in determining the load capacity of a bearing.
4. What are some common methods used to optimize bearing design?
Some common methods used to optimize bearing design include computer-aided design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEA), and physical testing. These methods allow engineers to simulate and analyze different bearing designs to determine the most efficient and effective design for a specific application.
5. How important is lubrication in optimizing bearing design?
Lubrication is a crucial factor in optimizing bearing design. Proper lubrication reduces friction and wear, and helps to dissipate heat, which can affect the bearing's performance and lifespan. Choosing the right lubricant and ensuring it is applied correctly can greatly impact the optimization of a bearing's design.
