Key Terms
DefinitionTerm
Calculates limiting value, dynamic and static load rating, dynamic and static
equivalent load, and fatigue life in revolutions and hours.
bearing calculation
A beveled surface between two faces or surfaces.chamfer
Calculation required for a revolving bearing. The result is the Adjusted Rating
Life. This is the life associated with 90% reliability with contemporary, commonly
dynamic calculation
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 dynamically on the screen and
dynamic dragging
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.
fillet
Any of several arrangements, especially of toothed wheels in a machine, which
allow power to be passed from one part to another to control the power, speed,
or direction of movement.
gear
Thin line that represents the radius in the side or top view.radius reflection line
Interruption of a shaft. A shaft can be interrupted at a point, and the shaft break
symbols are inserted in a suitable size.
shaft break
Tool to draw rotationally symmetrical parts. A shaft is usually created from left
to right using different sections. These sections are positioned automatically
shaft generator
one after the other. Additionally, any shaft section can be inserted, deleted, or
edited.
