Case Study: FLT Polska speeds bearing design and optimization with Hexagon RomaxDESIGNER

FLT Polska design, analyse and optimise bearings quickly using RomaxDESIGNER

FLT Polska, a manufacturer of rolling bearings for the automotive and agricultural industries, faced the challenge of designing high-quality bearings optimized for specific applications and life requirements. Their manual calculation methods were too slow or inadequate for complex analyses, such as calculating how bearing life varies with preload. To overcome this, they turned to Hexagon and its RomaxDESIGNER software for advanced bearing simulation.

By implementing Hexagon's RomaxDESIGNER, FLT Polska could perform detailed design, analysis, and optimization. The solution enabled accurate fatigue life calculations and a whole-system perspective that considered housing and shaft models. This resulted in significant time savings in design investigation and the ability to create a higher quality end product. The software gave the company confidence in its designs, helping to prevent future bearing failures, reduce the risk of warranty claims, and increase customer satisfaction.
