Bearing Loads

Bearing loads are forces exerted on support components by shafts resting on them. These loads can include radial loads pushing outward from the shaft's center axis, thrust loads pushing along the axial direction, or both. When modeled, bearing loads are converted to nodal forces which may be smaller at edges and corners due to their association with smaller element areas. Radial loads follow a parabolic distribution within a 90 degree zone around the radial vector, while thrust loads evenly distribute along all nodes of the loaded surface.

Bearing Loads:

When a shaft rest on a component called support, t exerts the load on that component. Ths load s called
bearing load. Supporting part known as bearing. Bearing loads can consist of a radial load, a thrust load (axial
direction), or both.

Bearing loads are converted to nodal forces. The effect of this conversion can be seen in the Results
environment. Forces at edge and corner nodes are noticeably smaller than forces on nearby nodes that are within
the interior of the surface. This behavior is normal because edge and corner loads are associated with a smaller
element facial area than interior nodes are.

Thrust loads are distributed along all nodes on the selected cylindrical surface, as shown below.

Radial loads are applied in a parabolic distribution and are always confined to a maximum cylindrical load zone
of +/-90 from the radial vector direction. Consider the images below, which explain how the radial load is
distributed in different situations:
