1.1 Calculation Example: Interference Fit According to DIN 7190

1.1.1 Start the Calculation Module

Please login with your username and your password. Select the module ‘Interference fit’ through the tree structure of the project manager by double-clicking on the module or clicking on the button ‘New calculation’.

1.1.2 Calculation Example

A cylindrical interference fit has to be dimensioned against sliding. Enter the following values:

Operating temperature

= 25C

1.1.3 Start the Calculation

Please start to enter the values into the input field. All important calculation results will be calculated during every input and will be displayed in the result panel. A recalculation occurs after every data input. During the input of the values it can happen that the results will be marked in red. Nevertheless, please continue to input the data as usual.

Note: Please note the section ‘Selection of fit’ for the specification of the tolerances. With the definition of the surface quality of the hub, you have to notice that the given value (Rz=6) has to be entered by the ‘User defined’ input. Select ‘User defined’ in the appropriate listbox and enter the desired value into the input field next to the listbox.

Selection of Fit / Calculation of Possible Fits

The button ‘Selection’ allows you to open the dialog window for selection of fits. Here you can choose the possible tolerances or the appropriate fits can be suggested.

Enable ‘Show only preferred fits’ and click the button ‘Search fits’.

Two fits will be recommended to you.

Select the fit H7/s6 and click the button ‘Ok’.

Automatic Dimensioning of the Maximum Torque

Due to the fit calculation, a safety close to the given minimum safety has been determined. By the help of the comfortable dimensioning functions, other values can be checked and optimized regarding the use of the minimum safety. So the maximum torque can be defined using the given minimum safety against sliding . The button ‘Options’ allows you to specify the minimum safety. Click on the dimensioning button (‘calculator symbol’) next to the input field for the torque.

The maximum torque is determined.

Here the maximum torque is ‘83.60 Nm’. If you enter now a higher value than ‘83.60 Nm’, the safety against sliding is fallen below.

The calculation result is marked in red. You will get an appropriate information in the message window.

Now click on the calculator symbol again, then the maximum torque is determined (83.50 Nm) and the minimum safety of ‘1.2’ is fulfilled. The specifications of the results is given for the lowest, highest and mean interference. If the minimum safety is not fulfilled, then the safety is marked in red.

1.1.4 Calculation Results

All important calculation results, such as the lowest, highest and mean interference, will be calculated during every input and will be displayed in the result panel. A recalculation occurs after every data input. Any changes that are made to the user interface take effect immediately. If the result exceeds certain values (e.g., the minimum saftey), the result will be marked red.

1.1.5 Documentation: Calculation report

In case you have finished your calculation, please click on the button ‘Report’.

The calculation report contains a table of contents. You can navigate through the report via the table of contents that provides links to the input values, results and figures. The report is available in HTML and PDF format. Calculation reports, saved in HTML format, can be opened in a web browser or in Word for Windows.

You may also print or save the calculation report:

• To save the report in the HTML format, please select ‘File’ ‘Save as’ from your browser menu bar. Select the file type ‘Webpage complete’, then just click on the button ‘Save’.
• If you click on the symbol ‘Print’, then you can print the report very easily.
• If you click on the symbol ‘PDF’, then the report appears in the PDF format. If you right-click on the PDF symbol, you should see the ‘Save Target As’ option. Click on that option and you will see the dialog box for saving the report.

1.1.6 How to Save the Calculation

When the calculation is finished, you can save it to your computer or to the eAssistant server. Click on the button ‘Save’.

Before you can save the calculation to your computer, you need to activate the checkbox ‘Enable save data local’ in the project manager and the option ‘Local’ in the calculation module. A standard Windows dialog for saving files will appear. Now you will be able to save the calculation to your computer.

In case you do not activate the option in order to save your files locally, then a new window is opened and you can save the calculation to the eAssistant server. Please enter a name into the input field ‘Filename’ and click on the button ‘Save’. Then click on the button ‘Refresh’ in the project manager. Your saved calculation file is displayed in the window ‘Files’.
