Schaeffler launches online rolling bearing calculation software for hydraulic pumps

Precision bearing manufacturer Schaeffler (UK) Ltd has released an online rolling bearing calculation module for hydraulic pumps. The software enables users to quickly and easily select suitable rolling bearings for vertical and horizontally mounted hydraulic pumps.

BEARINX-online Easy Pump is only available in an online format and can be used free of charge. Initial registration is simple and the user can begin calculation work immediately. Register at http://bearinx-online-easy-pump.schaeffler.com

An easy to navigate menu guides the user step by step through the software, with inputs presented visually for easy checking. Menu navigation also enables fast, easy input of data for modelling of the shaft using several stages: creation of an impeller, bearing selection and fits for the shaft and housing.

As operating data, the user can input the proportional duration of load cases, speed of the shaft and different operating temperatures, as well as the loads on the shaft system. Inputs also include lubricant data.

All input data can be stored locally, which means any relevant modifications can be made quickly to an existing application scenario such as load variants, size adjustments or comparative calculations, without duplicating the input of data. Stored data can also be exchanged with Schaeffler engineering services in order to verify results or to allow for more detailed analysis.
