KISSsoft and Timken Collaborate on Bearing Calculation and Design

KISSsoft and Timken have teamed up to add more value for design engineers.

Bearing calculations from Timken can now be easily generated in KISSsoft for the software’s registered users. Although the data is not visible in KISSsoft, it can be used in the background for calculation and design purposes.

In the KISSsoft Release 2022, Timken is now providing internal macro geometry for more than 7,000 Timken tapered, spherical, cylindrical roller and deep groove ball bearings. This allows KISSsoft users to perform more accurate ISO TS 16281 life calculations, giving them more confidence when designing and specifying bearings for their equipment. The inner geometry data for the rolling bearings in use is retrieved via Timken's cloud service solution.
