The image of the bearings is displayed with section or front view. To set the view, the type and the parameters of one of the categories previously described, a simple and intuitive dialogue-box is opened with the appropriate commands described hereinafter. When the bearing is inserted the symmetry axis are drawn with a MIXED THIN line.

As for all standard libraries, it is possible to create one or more parts (when a adapter sleeve for adjustable ball bearings or when a single or double acting thrust bearing race is present) and insert automatically the parts used in the material’s BOM.

  • What
  • A dialogue-box to insert the object in the drawing is displayed to set the type of thrust bearing, and its parameters.
  • Why
  • For the correct drawing of standard thrust bearings, with the abovementioned tables, without necessarily insert all the necessary values to set the object, but selecting in the available list the desired line containing the essential characteristics as the inner diameter, the outer diameter, the thickness, etc…
  • How
  • The dialogue-box opened by the command Top_Cuscin_ass is similar to one of the command Top_Cuscinetti.
