AB The test station is used to determine the fatigue of bearings in passenger cars. The influence of prestressing or axial clerance, the reliability of the locking elements for the axial adjustment, the quality of the seating of the outer ring and the change in the type, quantity or distribution of the lubricant can also be examined. The test station consists of a test unit for the simultaneous testing of two test bearings. The misalignment of the wheel contact point and the center of the bearing is fixed by means of mountable parts. The test bearings are clamped between the flanges at both ends of the test shaft, which is supported by two auxiliary bearings. The numerical simulation with finite element method (FEM) deals with the analysis of the bearing test station, which will be loaded by axial and radial loads.
