Machine element selection support system

A machine element selection support system for supporting a selection of machine elements through a network, comprising:

• a select support server connected to the network;
• and,
• a database apparatus accessible by the selection support server,
• wherein the database apparatus includes a specification database for preserving dimensions and specifications of the machine elements, and the machine elements are bearings,
• wherein the selection support server receives machine element selection information from a terminal connected to the network, the machine element selection information including information relevant to specifications and operating conditions of the machine elements to be selected, purchase conditions of the machine elements, and information relevant to an output mode of information relevant to selection candidates,
• wherein the selection support server extracts the selection candidates in accordance with the information of the specifications and operating conditions and information stored in the specification database, and, in accordance with the output mode, and when the selection support server extracts the selection candidates, the selection support server calculates performance indexes of the extracted selection candidates based on the specifications and operating conditions of the selection candidates,
• wherein the selection support server outputs to the terminal information relevant to the selection candidates, out of the extracted selection candidates, which satisfy the purchase conditions, and
• wherein the specifications and operating conditions of the machine elements comprise a permissible rotation speed of the machine elements, inside and outside diameters.
