Development of a Centripetal Knuckle Bearing Performance Analysis and Parametric Drawing System Based on AutoCAD and VBA

Abstract:

A centripetal knuckle bearing performance analysis and parametric drawing system developed on AutoCAD platform is introduced in the paper. VBA is utilized to develop the system that accords with the Machine Design Manual and meets common centripetal knuckle bearing type selection flow. Databases of various series of knuckle bearings are established with Access and AutoCAD is connected with Access using ADO to call the data in the Access databases from AutoCAD platform. The system interface established with VBA is easy to use and guide the designer to accomplish the type selection and life check of a knuckle bearing and call the parametric drawing module to complete its detail drawing. The system can not only facilitate the bearing selection and drawing process, but also enhance the integration degree of product design process.
