Bearing Load

When a shaft rest on a component, then it exert the load on that component. That load is called bearing load. On the basis of that load, supporting part are known as bearing. Bearing load have two component
  • Radial load
  • Axial load

Radial load act perpendicular to the axis of rotation, while axial (thrust) load acts parallel to the axis of rotation.
In ANSYS, the bearing load boundary condition analyze radial force only. It will be applied on the interior face of a cylinder in the radial direction. If you will apply a portion of the load to be in axial direction, the solver stops the solution and issues an appropriate error message.
When you apply bearing load on different circle, then the load will be distributed equally as proportion of area.

Analysis Type – This boundary condition are available in only following ANSYS Analysis type
  • Static Structural
  • Transient Structural
  • Harmonic Response
