Computer-Aided Bearing Design and Manufacturing System

This paper discusses a computer-aided bearing design and manufacturing system believed to be unique in the bearing industry. The system is used primarily to design bearings to meet specific applications and to predict the performance characteristics of bearings under conditions of stress, deflection, torque, etc. Advantages realized from the system include better customer service, reduction in the amount of routine design work, and a reduction in the overall cost of the bearings.
