Creating Shafts with
Standard Parts
In this tutorial, you work with the automated shaft generator and standard parts in AutoCAD
®
Mechanical to create and edit a shaft, and insert bearings. The standard parts you use are
automatically structured in the mechanical browser.
Key Terms
DefinitionTerm
Calculates limiting value, dynamic and static load rating, dynamic
and static equivalent load, and fatigue life in revolutions and hours.
bearing calcula-
tion
A beveled surface between two faces or surfaces.chamfer
Calculation required for a revolving bearing. The result is the Adjus-
ted Rating Life. This is the life associated with 90% reliability with
dynamic calcula-
tion
contemporary, commonly used material, and under conventional
operating conditions. With the number of revolutions you get the
life in working hours.
The act of determining the size of a standard part with the cursor
while inserting it into a side view. The standard part is displayed
dynamic drag-
ging
dynamically on the screen and can be dragged to the next possible
size and length. The values (sizes) are taken from the Standard
parts database.
A curved transition from one part face or surface to another. The
transition cuts off the outside edge or fills in the inside edge.
