Calculating the service life of roller bearings

MDESIGN bearing

MDESIGN bearing

Storage combinations and more applications

MDESIGN bearing is the leading program for calculating bearings. Taking into account all relevant influencing factors, the tool performs comprehensive service life calculations for radial and axial rolling bearings within a very short time. The calculation is based on DIN ISO 281.

The additional advantages of MDESIGN bearing at a glance:

While the rolling bearing calculation available in MDESIGN mechanical calculates individual bearings, MDESIGN bearing supports more:

  • Additional calculation of nominal and modified reference service life according to DIN 26281 or ISO/TS 16281
  • Pair arrangements
  • Calculation of storage rates
  • Consideration of bearing combinations
  • Also in X and O arrangements
  • Interpretation of results and documentation extension via result graphics
  • Individual input of warehouse data from other manufacturers

Bearing combination and sets

Different arrangements and bearings are combined

Inspection in the 3D model

The calculation data can be visualized directly using the 3D view.

Extended range of applications thanks to different bearing arrangements

MDESIGN bearing not only allows you to calculate a single bearing, but also takes into account different bearing arrangements such as bearings in O and X arrangements. The combination of both requirement profiles not only expands the range of applications of the tool, it also opens up new possibilities for maximizing the rigidity or load carrying capacity of a bearing arrangement. Bearing sets can also be taken into account, i.e. the arrangement of bearings of the same type in a row.

Getting closer with modern methods of rolling bearing calculation

The classic method of rolling bearing design in accordance with DIN ISO 281 is based on manufacturing yield figures and infinitely stiff bearings. However, the new methods come much closer to realistic conditions. They also take into account the compression of individual rolling elements and the finite rigidity of the bearings. As more and more customers and manufacturers are requesting this method for calculating bearing life, MDESIGN bearing provides the results in the familiar, easy-to-use form with individual, quickly generated documentation.
