• Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear (structural) FEA. Which designers need nonlinear FEA and why? Actually, projects ranging ...

At light loads an externally pressurized sleeve bearing tends to be stiffest, followed by rolling-element bearings and self-acting sleeve bearings. As loads increase, the rolling-element bearing ...

Spindles designed for machine tool applications, such as milling, grinding and turning, require the bearings to be set in preload to meet speed, stiffness and accuracy requirements. More importantly, ...
