SKF's rolling bearing selection software facilitates calculations and checks for both Metric and Imperial units. The application is compliant with ISO, ANSI, and SAE standards and supports multiple 2D and 3D CAD systems.

One of the key features of the program is the ability to select and verify a suitable bearing for the given application. Additionally, it allows for calculation of basic bearing parameters and adjusted bearing life according to the new methodology of ISO 281. The program can even calculate loads for a pair of tapered roller bearings or a pair of angular contact ball bearings.
Moreover, the software supports 2D and 3D CAD for applications such as AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, ProgeCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, and Creo.
Aside from the basic calculations, the program also includes several auxiliary calculations. These include the calculation of lubricant operational viscosity, mean loads for bearings loaded by variable loads, permitted bearing speed and others.
All data, procedures, algorithms, and other information used by the software are sourced from specialized literature, SKF bearing catalogs, ISO, ANSI, SAE standards and other reliable sources. Related standards include ISO 15, ISO 76, ISO 104, ISO 281, ISO 355, ISO 1132, ISO 5593, ISO 5753, ISO 3448, ISO 15312, DIN 615, DIN 620, DIN 625, DIN 628, DIN 630, DIN 635, DIN 711, DIN 715, DIN 720, DIN 722, DIN 728, BS 290, BS 292, and BS 3134.
This module is a part of MITCalc - Mechanical and Technical Calculation Package for gear, belt and chain drives, bearings, springs, beam, shaft, bolt connection, shaft connection, tolerances and many other engineering applications. It is a valuable tool for mechanical engineers and designers who require reliable and precise calculations for their rolling bearing applications.
