Bearing Angular Stiffness

Question asked by Ian Brownstein on Mar 16, 2021

Hello,

I am simulating a set of tapered roller bearings. From the bearing manufacturer, we have the bearing stiffness values. How can I simulate the angular stiffness of the bearings, i.e. rotational stiffness about axes pointing radially outward. This stiffness value has a large effect on shaft bending and housing deflections, and thus on the bearing alignment and bearing lifetime. 

 

The bearing connector has no input for angular stiffness. 

Thank you,

Ian
