Redesign of Bearing Housing for Aero Engine Manufacturer
A major aero-engine OEM wanted to redesign bearing housing due to its high cost and complex design
The existing design consisted of 48 welded cast vanes which needed a very complex assembly process
Scope
Redesign of aero engine bearing housing to reduce manufacturing cost
Solution
New design proposed with a single piece casting and new assembly parts
Proposed design checked for structural integrity and compatibility with the design standards of OEM
Warning: Use of undefined constant string - assumed 'string' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /var/www/stage/quest-global-v2/wp-content/plugins/rx-dynamic-sections/sections.php on line 6721
Benefits
All redesign budgetary requirements met
Manufacturing cost reduced because of casting
Considerable reduction in weight
Improved fuel consumption due to reduced aerodynamic wind steps in annulus
Results
On-time delivery of design, 3D models, stress reports and manufacturing drawings
Reduction of manufacturing cost
Reduction of component weight
Features
Complete design solution reports including stress analysis, life and engineering drawings
Design complexity reduced from 48 welded vanes to single casting
Reduced aerodynamic wind steps in annulus
