Functions of Heavy Bearing Cages (Part I)
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 47
Abstract
In the context of global economy the development capacity and innovation of products is the key to modern society in order to ensure sustainable development. They are known and apply a significant number of research methods and design that are using both technical and economic criteria. They help to perpetuate and stimulate creative, so that in the design or development phase of existing products to ensure optimal correlation between quality and cost. Value engineering as a method of research and design is used herein to identify the functions of a bearing cage which is an important component in a bearing assembly. Identification of the cage functions lead to the identification of the optimization potential in terms of the production, costs and energy consumption involved in the entire life cycle of the cage (manufacturing, operation and post-operation). In the present paper the principal period of interest is the operating period because it has the most significant impact, if not the biggest regarding the energy consumption and costs. The analysis extends also to the period of manufacturing and post-use, periods with significant impact on consumption and costs. The study is part of a major ongoing research and it aims primarily to identify the right paths / directions of research in order to develop reliable and efficient new technological and constructive solution according to the concept of sustainable development and eco-design.
