Abstract:

For each bearing type, a data base which contains boundary dimensions, basic load ratings, limiting speeds, mass, company name and load factors of bearings is created. Knowledge about bearing type suitability, seals, lubrication, and fits and tolerances is also stored in separate data bases. Inputs required by the system are, speed, load, reliability, service life, operating temperature, dimensional constraints and desired level of few operating conditions.
