Abstract
Thermal analysis of a bearing unit, carried out by entering the input and boundary conditions of the application, defining contact areas and load distribution between components of the bearing unit, calculating the conduction resistances and the thermal convection of the components, calculating the heat generated by friction between the components in contact and the heat distribution thereof on a plurality of isothermal nodes which discretize the bearing unit, defining a thermal interaction between the isothermal nodes, thermally balancing the isothermal nodes, calculating the temperature range of the bearing unit, comparing the resulting operating temperature on an isothermal node of a sealing means of the bearing unit and the related maximum allowable temperature, and if the operating temperature and maximum allowable temperature values are different from each other, repeat steps (a) to step (h).
