Moment force on bearing in swivelcastor
Hello all, first time here and i'm excited to see if you can help me with a calculation i face.
I designed a swivel castor, and i calculated the mass and friction force once pushed around loade with 200kg of weight on it. (Blue arrow is 1962N, and the red arrow 24.5N) which causes a moment in the bearing off 50.5 Kn*mm.
I have no idea if the bearing can hold this, i know things for axial and radial forces but not for a moment.
Also, later i want to play with the maximum swivel offset since that makes it easier to turn the cart.
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
