PART B Module I 11. Design a bearing and journal to support a load of 4500 N at 600 rpm using a hardened steel journal and a bronze backed babbit bearing. An abundance of oil is supplied by means of oiling rings. The oil viscosity is 250 Second saybolt at 37.8C and the specific gravity is 0.90 at 15.6C. The bearing is relieved for 20 degree from the normal to the load line. 20 12. A ball bearing operates on the following work cycle.
Radial load (N) 3000 7000 5000

Element No. 1 2 3

Speed (rpm) Element time (%) 720 1440 900 30 50 20

The dynamic load carrying capacity of the bearing is 16.6 kN. Find a) The average speed of rotation. b) The equivalent radial load and. c) The bearing life. Module II 13. A pair of spur gears is to be used for a sugar crusher. Design the gears for strength. Power transmitted = 25 kW Speed of pinion = 400 rpm Speed reduction ratio = 4:1 Tooth profile = 20 full depth involute Velocity = 6 m/sec (limited). 20 20

14. Design a worm gear drive to transmit 3 KW at 600 rpm. Speed of worm wheel is 40 rpm. Tabulate the results neatly. Module III 15. Explain with sketches the different types of machine tool beds and their design features. 16. a) Give an account about design of slide ways for wear resistance. b) Enumerate the basic procedure associated with Ram-type structures.
