1 KISSsoft Tutorial: Roller Bearings For release 10/2008 kisssoft-tut-007-e-bearings.doc Last modification 29/10/ :13:00 KISSsoft Tutorial 007: Roller Bearings 1.1 General Remarks 1 Problem The lifetime of a bearing is normally calculated from within the shaft analysis module in KISSsoft (the analysis of hydrodynamic bearings is not covered here but is also available in KISSsoft). The roller bearing is considered as a part of a system consisting of a shaft, loads and the roller bearings. The great advantage of this approach is that the calculation of the loads acting on the bearings is performed automatically by the shaft analysis module and is hence less susceptible to user errors. This must be emphasized for statically over-determined systems. The direct (without using the shaft analysis module) analysis of a bearing with given loads is also possible, see section Problem Overview The roller bearings as shown in Fig shall be analysed. The system is statically overdetermined, the first bearing is located inside the hollow shaft, and the third bearing is an axial ball bearing supported on its right side. The bearings number one, two and four do not take any axial loads. Fig : Example problem. 1 / 12 29/10/08

Fig Group Strength in tab Basic data with parameters which influence roller bearing calculation directly. Speed The higher the speed, the shorter service life in [h]. Direction of rotation Change of direction possibly changes sign of axial load, like this is the case for helical gears. Lubricant temperature Higher lubricant temperature decreases service life coefficient. Roller bearing The drop-down list for Roller bearing allows for the choice out of four possible options: 1. Roller bearings, classical calculation (pressure angle not considered) Predominantly roller bearings are constraints of degrees of freedom for translation and rotation and are modelled as such if this option is chosen. Stiffnesses for translation and rotation can be chosen freely and are therefore independent of type or size of the bearing. Correlations between axial and radial forces (i.e. tapered roller bearings) are neglected. 2. Roller bearings, classical calculation (pressure angle considered) See above. Only that correlations between axial and radial forces are taken into account. 3. Roller bearing stiffness calculation calculated from inner geometry Considers inner roller bearing geometry, e.g. roller diameter, raceway radii, to evaluate bearing stiffness. If no such data is available it will be approximated based on size and type of the bearing. 4. Roller bearing life time according to ISO/TS Service life calculation considering the inner bearing s geometry. Results will be denoted Lnrh, Lnmrh repsectively in the window Results. Enhanced bearing service life calculation according ISO 281 Placing a checkmark into the checkbox makes the bearing calculation consider the effect of lubrication on service life. Results are denoted Lnmh, Lnmrh respectively in the window Results. 6 / 12

You will find it in tab Basic data. Fig : Drop-down list for Load spectra in tab Basic data. Choose the option Consider load spectra. Fig Example for a load spectrum of Forces Element Cylindrical Gear. Add a load spectrum entry to the database by following these steps: 1. Open the database tool via Extras -> Data base tool. 2. Answer the write-authorization question with Yes. The data base tool window opens. 3. Double-click the table labeled Load spectra and click Edit. The Data base tool now displays a list of entries in table LASTKOLL. 4. There are two ways to go from here. Either define your very own load spectrum by not choosing any entry in the list and click or generate a new entry based on another by first clicking that item and then press. 5. Either way the window Create a new entry appears. Enter an arbitrary name for your load spectrum into the input field Label. 6. Enter your load spectrum into the table or type the file name of the pre-defined load spectrum into the input field File name. Note that the file name requires the suffix dat (e.g. myloadspectrum.dat) and must be placed within the folder <KISSsoft installation directory>/dat. 7. If a file with the given name already exists you can start the editor by clicking the Edit button. Change the contents of the file if desired. 8 / 12

Frequency, efficiency or torque factor and speed factor form a row, seperated by tabulator spaces. Fig. 2.1-3 shows the contents of the file myloadspectrum.dat as an example.

It was opened and edited using the Windows editor. Fig : Example for file with self-defined load spectrum data. The values included in the file scale the reference values power/torque and speed. Example: Suppose you defined the following reference values in tab Basic data, within the Elementseditor for the Forces element Cylindrical gear respectively: P = 115kW, n = /min Moreover you decided to scale power, not torque (see Fig ).

10 frequency [%] power [kw] speed [1/min] Table 2.1-1: Absolute values of the load spectrum. 2.2 Calculating the Thermally Admissible Service Speed The definition of the thermal limit of operating speed is described in DIN (draft). This limit can differ from other operating speed limits as the reference conditions only apply to fully defined cases. In order to define the thermal operating limit, the reference thermal operating speed has to be defined for each case. It is the speed of rotation reached specific to a particular bearing arrangement and a given set of nominal operating conditions such that an equilibrium is achieved between heat development (friction) and heat dissipation (through bearing contact and lubrication). Mechanical or kinematic criteria are not taken into account for this speed. The reference values (temperatures, loads, viscosity of the lubrication, datum face of the bearing, ) are fixed so that the reference speed using oil or grease lubricated bearings will result in identical values. Open the input window Thermally admissible service speed by first switching into the Roller bearings [W050] calculation module: Single-click the Modules window tab, then doubleclick Roller bearings [W050] (see Fig ). Fig : Switching into the calculation module Roller bearings [W050]. Within the Roller bearings main window open the menu Calculation and activate the option Thermally admissible service speed as shown in Fig The respective input window appears.

11 Fig : Active Tab Thermally admissible service speed. 2.3 Extending the Roller Bearings Data Base In KISSsoft, several thousand bearings are available in the KISSsoft database (IBC, Koyo, KRW, NSK, SKF, Timken). Missing bearings can be added to the database by following these steps: 1. Open the database tool via Extras -> Data base tool. 2. Answer the write-authorization question with Yes. The Data base tool window opens. 3. Double-click the appropriate table taken from the data base W000, e.g. Deep groove ball bearing (single row), table W05WNORM10. Click Edit. The data base tool window then shows a list of entries in W05WNORM There are two ways to go from here. Either define your very own roller bearing by not choosing any entry in the list and click or generate a new entry based on another by first clicking that item and then press. 5. Either way the window Create a new entry appears. Enter an arbitrary name for your roller bearing into the input field Bearing label. There are two tabs availabe for parameterization of the bearing: Basic data and Inner geometry. While Basic data is mandatory Inner geometry is optional. If no inner geometry data is available it is approximated based on the data given in Basic data. 6. When you are finished confirm with OK. Save your new entry in the data base tool by clicking Save. Note that no message will appear when having successfully saved a file. Your newly added roller bearing appears at the end of the list with a successive number Calculating a Single Bearing with Known Loads If a single bearing with known loads is to be calculated (modelling of a system is not required), it is not necessary to model a system including shaft, loads and bearings. Click the tab Basic data to open the respective input window. 11 / 12

Radial loads are defined for each bearing within the group Bearing data while there is only one axial load to be given in group Working data. Distribution of axial load to the bearings depends on the type of axial support chosen for each bearing. Carry out the calculation by clicking from the tool bar or by pressing F5. 12 / 12
