shaft bearing position calculation
shaft bearing position calculation
(OP)
hi!
i have a shaft coupled with a motor, via a spider coupling.
The shaft length is yet to be detemined (will be < 150mm) and its end is fitted in a bearing for support. (Shaft diameter:25mm)
I was wondering if one bearing will be sufficient to support the shaft. How can i calculate that?
If one bearing is used, can the spider coupling act as support for the shaft, or is it better to use 2 bearings.
your help is most welcome.

Two bearings is preferred, but I have supported shafts off of component bearings on numerous occasions. Just do your homework to make sure the motor bearing can handle the overhung load from all the resolved forces, not just the shaft and coupling weight..
