Clamping moment
A clamping moment is the moment that is exerted by the environment on the mounted component via a bearing when the bearing prevents the component from rotating relative to the environment.
The clamping of a component prevents not only the rotation but also the displacement of the component in relation to the environment. Then there is a bearing force . The generic term for support force and restraint moment is the support reaction .
The support reactions on a bearing are determined using the equilibrium conditions .
