Bearings¶
Under bearings you will find a large number of rolling bearings that are supported by supplier-neutral DIN tables. In contrast to the geometry data from relevant suppliers (ELITECAD PARTS / DVD / Internet), these rolling bearings are generated in accordance with DIN as ELITECAD objects and built into your design as separate components without conversion by interfaces (see also chapter Catalogue parts).
The most common types of bearings used in mechanical engineering can be called up directly with ELITECAD using their DIN standard and then inserted into the construction.
Create bearing¶

Standard parts toolbar |
| ME-Objects menu > Standard parts > Bearing |
With a click on the function TOOLS > STANDARD PARTS > CREATE BEARING in the toolbar or by selecting ME OBJECTS > STANDARD PARTS > BEARING in the menu bar, the settings of the last bearing drawn are active in the parameter window and the standard part can be set immediately.
Bearings property bar¶
The property bar is visible as soon as an existing bearing is selected for editing. Clicking on the bearing activates the property bar and the main values of the depiction of the bearing can be manipulated. Using the icon 
, the associated parameter window opens and all available values of the bearing can be modified.

Depiction (see General parameters)
Bearings parameters¶
Decide whether the bearing should be depicted in 2D or 3D.
Tip
Specify the shaft diameter (bore) value first and then the outer diameter. Possible variants for the bearing width and bearing shape are now offered. In general, only values are offered that are available in the selected standard.
The completed dialog is confirmed with 
. This means that the bearing is dynamically active at the cursor for positioning in the drawing. The reference point is the intersection of the left bearing surface of the bearing with the bearing centre line.
The function is ended when it is positioned within the construction. The function call can be opened repeatedly for other bearings of the same type. The last input parameters are retained and are suggested the next time it is opened.
