Bearing bridge: welded assembly instead of casting

To reproduce the bearing bridge, I designed a welded assembly made from plasma-cut parts instead of the original cast version. Process selection was guided by the client's existing environment.

Initial condition

The original cast version formed the basis for reconstructing the bearing bridge.

Assess processes

Instead of reproducing the casting identically, I designed the bearing bridge as a welded assembly.

  • Welded assembly instead of the original cast version
  • Plasma-cut parts because the client had access to this process
  • Adapted to the client's existing environment

The appropriate process depends on material, accuracy, quantity, effort and subsequent changes.

Status shown: the CAD design.
