Monorail Guidance Systems

BEARINX ®
for precise design
INA calculation program
The calculation on pages 20 to 23 is used for the preliminary
selection of monorail guidance systems. They allow an approximate
calculation of the equivalent static and dynamic bearing loads.
In order to achieve precise design of linear guidance elements in
relation to basic rating life and static load safety factor, it is
necessary to calculate the bearing load in a statically indeterminate
system and the internal load distribution of the linear guidance
elements (Loading of individual rolling elements, Figure 1).
This requires a complex calculation process.
For this reason, INA developed the rolling bearing analysis program
BEARINX ® which can be used to calculate linear and rotary bearings
as a part of the complete system (e.g. machine tool, automotive
gearbox, etc.) and thereby ensure reliable designs.

BEARINX ® linear module The linear module of BEARINX ® can be used to calculate linear
guidance elements in multi-axis systems (e.g. machine tools) under
any load combination down to the level of the rolling element
contact. The integral analysis method can be used to investigate the
influence of nearly all parameters of the complete system on
relevant results.
