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 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
