Inserting a Ball Bearing

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 18:45:26 GMT

I'm trying to add a bearing in inventor from content center, but I can't seem to find the correct size in content center. The bearing I want to use on my physical project has a 1/2ID and a 1.375OD (link below). I've searched content center multiple ways, but can't find a bearing with this size. Is this because that bearing is a non-standard size, or is there a different content center library that I can download with this size? Is there any way to create a custom bearing out of content center?

The attached document will help.

For just a single bearing, I would quickly model one up that has the same mass as your sample rather than going through creating/modifying with CC.

The content center is far from "all inclusive"..

And yes you can add stuff to it..

Lots of info on that process..
