Parametric Design of Deep Groove Ball Bearing Based on Pro/Program and Family Table

Abstract

Due to the same series of rolling bearing standard part with the same topology structure and different dimension parameters, a series of rolling bearing products can be designed by parametric design method. Based on the development tool of Pro/Program and family table combined with three-dimensional modeling, this paper takes deep groove ball bearing for example to discuss the means and steps of rolling bearing parametric design. By entering the relevant parameters, such as the bearing outside diameter, bearing inside diameter, bearing width, ball number and other known conditions, we can accurately and quickly generate a new rolling bearing solid model. The result shows that in the design environment of Pro/ENGINEER, using parametric design to make three-dimensional modeling can shorten design cycle time and improve design efficiency significantly.
