STUDY OF A 3D MODEL OF A BEARING PART USING SOLIDWORKS

Abstract

This article develops a three-dimensional (3D) model of a bearing part based on the SolidWorks software package and discusses research methods on it. A bearing is a machine part that ensures the mutual contact of parts engaged in rotational or linear motion, reduces friction and accepts the load. It ensures proper operation of shafts or other moving mechanisms. First, the geometric shape, the main dimensions and design features of the part were determined, and a virtual model was compiled in accordance with the real parameters. During the simulation, computer engineering analysis tools were used, and the behavior of the part in the conditions of its operation was studied. The stress and strain distribution under load, the reliability of the bearing and its long-term operability were especially evaluated. The results were compared with theoretical predictions and demonstrated the advantages and limitations of the model. The research work can prove the effectiveness of applying quantitative methods in engineering design and serve as a basis for improving specific production processes in the future.
