Often single values are used for radial or axial stiffness of a rolling element bearing. For some bearing types and load conditions this might be sufficient, for others it is not. What is a stiffness? Generally, a stiffness describes the change of a force for a change...

Elastic housing deformation can have an impact on the load distribution within rolling element bearings. For many applications this is neglectable, but for large bearings or soft housings, it can be of interest to consider this effect. The MESYS shaft system...

The lift-off force for double row bearings is not directly available as result in the MESYS Rolling Bearing Calculation. But the lift-off force can easily be determined using the parameter variation. The lift-off force is defined as the external axial force where one...

Usually the stiffness of a rolling element bearing increases with increased bearing load. The reason is the increase of contact area. Is this always the case? If a bearing under pretension is loaded radially, the bearing stiffness can decrease with increased radial...
