Bearings content library for cqparts

Components

• Ball Bearings

• Tapered Roller Bearings

Examples

BallBearing

Create a ball bearing with:

from cqparts_bearings.ball import BallBearing

bearing = BallBearing(
    # outer edges
    inner_diam=8,
    outer_diam=20,
    width=5,

    # internal rolling elements
    ball_count=6,
    ball_diam=4,
)

# display [optional]
from cqparts.display import display
display(bearing)

# export model to file, various formats available [optional]
bearing.exporter('gltf')('bearing.gltf')

All BallBearing parameters are documented here.

The bearing is generated in the following hierarchy:

>>> print(bearing.tree_str())
<BallBearing: angle=0.0, ball_count=6, ball_diam=4.0, ball_min_gap=0.4, inner_diam=8.0, inner_width=2.0, outer_diam=20.0, outer_width=2.0, rolling_radius=7.0, tolerance=0.001, width=5.0>
