Schaeffler realeases rolling bearing calculation software

Schaeffler has released BEARINX-online Easy EMachine, an online rolling bearing calculation module for electric motors and generators. The software enables users to select suitable rolling bearings based on their typical mechanical loads and electromagnetic field loads.

The module allows calculations to be performed on electric motors and generators with horizontal, vertical or freely selectable orientation. Users can browse and compare a range of different bearing support variants. The weight of the shaft, laminated cores and windings, as well as magnetic tension and other freely configurable loads are available for designers to select. This allows belt pulleys, gears and shaft imbalances to be modelled at various speeds and under different load cases.

INA and FAG rolling bearing data can be uploaded from the integrated database. Saved files can be exchanged with Schaeffler’s Engineering Service or with a local Schaeffler Technology Centre for final checking. The objective is to offer engineers optimised, efficient support for their own product development process at all times and, in doing so, help to reduce development times.
