Miba Bearing Calculator: The quick calculation for the right bearing selection

Find out in just a few clicks whether your system falls within the wide range of hydrodynamic bearings

 

With the Miba bearing calculator, you can obtain an initial assessment of whether a bearing is suitable for your specific requirements in just a few minutes. The best thing about it? You don't need any expert knowledge - the tool guides you through the process step by step.
 

How does the bearing calculator work?


With just a few entries, our calculation tool checks whether a bearing is suitable in principle for your application:

1. Enter the operating parameters: Simply enter the required parameters for the installation space and the load situation.

  • d - Shaft Ø (mm) 
  • n - Rotational speed (rpm) 
  • F - Operational load (N) 
  • w - Chosen bearing width (mm) 
  • Loading condition (static or dynamic) 

 

2. Automatic calculation: The bearing calculator analyzes your data.

3. Result evaluation: You receive a quick, non-binding evaluation and a report.

Hydrodynamic bearing solutions: The entire process from the idea to after-sales service


The bearing calculator is the first step towards the ideal bearing solution. We then guide you through the entire development process:

 

Idea & concept development

We work with you to analyze the specific requirements of your system and develop initial design concepts. The focus here is on functionality, efficiency and durability.

 

Calculation & simulation

We use state-of-the-art simulation tools to test the performance of the bearing under realistic operating conditions. Targeted adjustments are made to adapt the bearing to the individual requirements.

 

Testing & validation

Based on the results of the design, we can derive test programs for possible validation. We can also subject the components to the necessary tests on state-of-the-art test benches to ensure that the bearings meet the required performance parameters.

 

Production & quality assurance

Our production relies on high-precision manufacturing processes and careful quality controls to ensure consistently high bearing performance.

 

After-sales service & optimization

We are at your side not only during, but also after installation. We provide support with maintenance, optimization and any adjustments to ensure maximum service life.

FAQs: Frequently asked questions about the bearing calculator

You need to enter the diameter of the shaft, the speed, the load on the bearing and the desired bearing width. You also select whether the load is static or dynamic in the bearing calculator: 

 

  • Shaft-Ø (mm) 
  • Rotational speed (rpm) 
  • Operational load (N) 
  • Chosen bearing width (mm) 
  • Loading condition 

Static load: The bearing is subjected to a constant load without high dynamics.
Dynamic load: The bearing is stressed, for example, by constantly changing speeds, shocks or vibrations.
