SKF SimPro Quick is a single-shaft bearing simulation tool developed to evaluate the design of bearing arrangements and their field performance based on application requirements and conditions. Industrial manufacturers are facing new challenges every day when it comes to rapid design of more robust and more cost efficient machines. SKF SimPro Quick is designed to provide customers with more SKF engineering knowledge and autonomy to accelerate the design process and optimise bearing choice. It has an intuitive interface to model the customer’s application with relevant components such as shafts, bearings, housings, gears, lubricants, spacers and springs. A bearing selection dialogue enables bearing selection from SKF’s catalogue. The rolling bearings database is updated regularly. This simulation tool provides calculation results with a comprehensive range of performance output parameters such as bearing fatigue life; bearing load; loaded zone; contact stress; bearing displacement and misalignment; friction; bearing defect frequencies and shaft deflection.
