Information

Cage Part

The CagePart model is used as an animation object, with no physical effect on the model. The motivation behind this is that it is very uncommon for cage parts to be the source of a failure in rolling bearings.

The dimensions of the cage part are calculated by using bearing dimensions and the number of rollers.

Figure 1 shows how the length of the CagePart is calculated.
