Powerful new calculation software for monorail guidance systems

Linear • EasySolution is the latest software module to be released by the Schaeffler Group for its popular rolling bearing calculation software Bearinx®. Linear • EasySolution calculates the basic rating life of a driven linear axis that is supported by rolling bearings. The software is easy-to-use with an intuitive menu system that provides clear instructions on how to input data.

The software contains the most commonly used linear axis combinations in pre-configured arrangements comprising a drive, guideway and carriage. There is also an option to freely select an axis combination using up to four guideways and 16 carriages.

“With Linear • EasySolution, we are offering rapid and direct support to our customers. We are therefore supplementing the personal advisory work carried out by our external sales function, which remains at the heart of our customer service,” said Ralf Moseberg, Head of International Sales at Schaeffler’s Linear Technology Division.
 
Linear • EasySolution enables designers to calculate and select the most appropriate linear guidance system at an early stage in their design process. The software simulates the actual stresses and loads on the guidance elements, taking contact angle displacement into account, as well as the non-linear deflection behaviour of the rolling element contacts and the elastic guideway and carriage. Exact calculations for the internal load distribution in the bearing are performed, including contact pressure with the actual rolling element profile and various pre-load classes. This enables users to minimise development times for new machine builds.
