Attributes
The table below summarizes the attributes of the DeepGrooveBallBearing classes.
| Variable | Type | Notes | Symbol |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | Int() | Unique identification number. | |
| label | Str() | Descriptor of the bearing element. | |
| rm | Reference("Marker", required=True) | The reference marker of the bearing element. This marker points to the center of the bearing. Defines the orientation of the bearing (z axis of reference marker is the bearing axial axis). The rm part must always be on the housing of the system. |
|
| number_of_rollers | Int(required=True) | The number of rolling elements in the bearing. | |
| pitch_diameter | Double(required=True) | The pitch diameter of the bearing. | dp |
| width | Double(required=True) | The width of the bearing. | b |
| inner_diameter | Double(required=True) | The inner diameter of the bearing. | d |
| inner_shoulder_diameter | Double() | The inner ring shoulder diameter. The default value is calculated internally as a function of pitch and roller diameters. | d1 |
| outer_diameter | Double(required=True) | The outer diameter of the bearing. | D |
| outer_shoulder_diameter | Double() | The outer ring shoulder diameter. The default value is calculated internally as a function of pitch and roller diameters. | D2 |
| roller_diameter | Double(required=True) | The rolling element diameter. | dr |
| bearing_clearance | Double(0.0) | The bearing clearance. Apply the correct clearance for each bearing. | |
| inner_race_conformity | Double(0.52) | This value expresses the relation of the rolling element
diameter to the inner raceway groove radius: (fi: inner race conformity fi = ri/dr, ri: inner raceway radius, 0.51 < fi < 0.54 ) |
|
| outer_race_conformity | Double(0.53) | This value expresses the relation of the rolling element
diameter to the outer raceway groove radius: (fo: outer race conformity fo = ro/dr, ro: outer raceway radius, 0.51 < fo < 0.54) |
|
| young_modulus | Double() | The young modulus of the bearing components. See Comment 2. | |
| poisson_ratio | Double() | The Poisson ratio of the bearing components. See Comment 2. | |
| bearing_density | Double() | The density of the bearing parts. See Comment 2. | |
| roller_pass_frequency | Bool (True) | Defines if the bearing rotates with the inner and outer shaft. Default is set to True. Deactivating the rotation improves the computational performance, but neglects excitations caused by rollers passing through the loading zone. | |
| friction_torque | Bool (False) | Activates the friction torque in the bearing. | |
| simplified_graphics | Bool (False) | Creates simplified graphics for bearing rings and avoids graphics for rollers. This can reduce the H3D file size for large models. | |
| rollers_force_graphics | Bool (False) | Activates force vector graphics in the rolling elements. | |
| vec_gra_scale | Double(1.0) | Scales the rollers force vector graphics. | |
| damping_force | Bool (True) | Activates the damping force in the bearing. | |
| output_rm | Reference("Marker") | Defines the reference marker where the output results are
written. The default value is the defined bearing reference marker (rm). |
|
| damping_ratio | Double(0.1) | The damping ratio of the bearings. This value must be between 0.0-1.0. | |
| static_load_rating | Double(0.0) | The static load rating of the bearing. It is used in the friction torque calculation. | |
| lubricant_viscosity | Double(0.0) | The lubricant viscosity of the bearing in [cSt]. It is used in the friction torque calculation. | |
| lubrication_method | Enum("grease oil_mist oil_bath oil_jet", default="grease") |
The lubrication method of the bearing, used in the friction torque calculation. | |
| transition_velocity | Double(0.1) | The angular velocity at which the friction torque takes full effect [rad/sec]. Friction is ramped up smoothly from 0 until the transition velocity for solver stability. | |
| inner_connection_part | Reference("Part", required=True) | The part/shaft that connects to the inner ring. See Comment 1. | |
| outer_connection_part | Reference("Part", required=True) | The part /shaft that connects to the outer ring. See Comment 1. | |
| na | Int(60) | Defines the number of nodes in the perimeter of ring graphics. | |
| nc | Int(6) | Defines the number of nodes in the raceway of ring graphics. | |
| no | Int(2) | Defines the number of nodes in the width of ring graphics. |
