Bearing requirements calculation

AI Thread Summary
To calculate bearing requirements for a design project, it is essential to consider all loads acting on the shaft, including moment, force, and gravity. High accuracy is a key requirement, and it is valid to assume that bearings must handle all loadings while maintaining this accuracy. For example, with a total radial loading of 10N and a required accuracy of 0.01 mm, the bearing stiffness requirement can be calculated as 1000N/mm. Additionally, providing a system diagram can enhance the clarity of the questions posed regarding bearing selection. Understanding these principles is crucial for choosing the right bearing for optimal performance.

TL;DR Summary
I am looking for bearings. I have all the loads on the shaft, so how do I calculate the stiffness and other bearing requirements?
Hi!
I am working on a design project. I already know all the loads (moment, force and gravity) on the shaft. I want to calculate the bearing requirements to help me choose the right bearing. All loads are very small, and the key requirement of the entire system is high accuracy.
Can I assume that all the loadings apply to bearing, then bearing need to be able to handle all the loadings and also maintain accuracy?
For example, if the total radial loading on the shaft is 10N and need accuracy of 0.01 mm for system. Can I say that the requirement of bearing stiffness is 10N/0.01mm = 1000N/mm?

A system diagram would make your questions much more meaningful.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
