How to Calculate Crane Bearing Pressure
How to calculate crane bearing pressure: Use the formula 𝑝 =𝐹/𝐴, where 𝑝 is pressure, 𝐹 is the total applied load (radial, axial, and dynamic), and 𝐴 is the effective bearing contact area. For example, if the total load is 382.5 kN and the contact area is 28,000 mm², the bearing pressure equals 13.66 N/mm². Always compare the result with the manufacturer’s permissible values to ensure safe crane operation.
