BEARING LOAD CALCULATIONS
BEARING LOADS DUE
The use of straight bevel gears produces thrust, as well
as radial loads on bearings. The thrust loads applied at a
distance from the shaft axis impose overturn loads on the
bearings which also must be considered. The tangential
force is obtained from the input horsepower as derived
on page 247.

TO BEVEL GEARS
In Fig. 1, below, the separating force is derived in terms
of the fangential force. The pinion (Gear I) is mounted on
the driving shaft A. The vertical component (S,) of the sepa-
rating force imposes a radial load on Shatt A. The reac-
tion to S, imposes a thrust load on the shaft of the mating
(ariven) gear.

The table below shows the bearing loads based on Fig. I. These computations assume a right angle drive with the
shaft of the driven gear vertical and in the plane of the paper.
