Bearing Loading Conditions in Equipment

This document evaluates methods for analyzing bearing loading conditions in rotating equipment. It compares a shaft-bearing-housing method to other methods. The shaft-bearing-housing method allows for quick selection of bearing candidates, considers shaft and housing geometry and internal bearing geometry, and can be used for any number of supports. However, it requires calculation software and accurate models of shaft and housing geometry as beams.
