Bearings

Overview

SHAFT – Bearing - Design area
1	Selection of the MACHINE subset: SHAFT panel (Click on the icon SHAFT)
2	Visualization of the motor axial view to visualize the shaft topology with bearings
3	Shaft section to define the shaft parameters
4	When there is a shaft, the section of Bearing is unlocked
5	Choice of the shaft-Bearing type. Two types are available: None: No dimension to declare. There is no bearing. With bearings: Bearings characteristics must be defined - Structural data of bearings are then edited
6	Shaft-Bearing input data to be defined
7	Button to restore default input values
8	Button to Apply inputs. Pressing the enter key twice applies inputs too.
9	Icon to export shaft data into *.txt or *.xls files.

2. Shaft-Bearing type and characteristics

Two types of shaft can be selected:

• None: There is no bearing in the rotor design = No dimension to declare.

• With bearings: Shaft-Bearings are represented and considered in the rotor design.

Shaft-Bearing type: None	Shaft-Bearing type: With bearings

Dimensions are illustrated with arrows	Connection side (C.S.) is identified by yellow lightning.

3. Shaft-Bearing input parameters

Solenoid shape cooling circuit – With rectangular tubes - Inputs
1	Bearing length
2	Bearing width
3	Bearing shift
