Abstract
A method of assembling one or more bearings includes calculating a displacement of an inner ring and an outer ring based on measured geometric properties, mechanical properties, and a predetermined load on the one or more bearings, and pairing inner and outer rings based on the calculated displacement.
Claims17
A method of assembling one or more bearings, the method comprising:
- obtaining geometric measurement data of inner rings, outer rings, or the inner rings and the outer rings from a database;
- determining all possible pairings of the inner rings and the outer rings based on the geometric measurement data;
- transferring the geometric measurement data of the possible pairings to a model of the one or more bearings, the model being part of a computer-aided design (CAD) software application;
- calculating, from the model, a displacement of an inner ring of the inner rings and an outer ring of the outer rings for all the possible pairings based on the geometric measurement data, mechanical properties, and a predetermined load on the one or more bearings;
- and
- pairing the inner ring and the outer ring based on the calculated displacement, such that bearing assemblies are formed.
