A single row deep groove ball bearing is subjected to a radial force of 8 kN and a thrust force of 3

kN. The shaft rotates at 1200 rpm. The expected life L10h of the bearing is 20000 hr. The minimum
acceptable diameter of the shaft is 85 mm . Select a suitable ball bearing for this application

When the bearing is subjected to radial as well as axial load, the values of X and Y factors are
obtained from table by trial and error procedure. It is observed from table that the values of X are
Fa
constant and the values of Y varies only in case when > e

In this case , the values of Y varies from 1 to 2 . We will assume the average value 1.5 as the first
trial value for factor Y

shown in figure. The belt tensions and the gear tooth forces are as follows
P1= 498 N , P2=166 N , Pt= 497 N and Pr= 181 N
The weight of the pulley is 100 N. The diameter of the shaft at bearings B1 and B2 is 10 mm and
20 mm respectively. The load factor is 2.5 and the expected life for 90 % of bearing is 8000 hr.
Select single row deep groove ball bearing at B1 and B2

Considering the forces in the vertical plane and

taking moment of forces about bearing B

RV2= 232.4 N
RV1+ RV2=Pr+ W

497(100)+(498+166)400-RH2(250)=0
RH2= 1261.2 N
RH2= RH1+Pt+(P1+P2)
1261.2=RH1+497+(498+166)
RH1= 100.2 N
 The reactions at the two bearings are
R1=(RV1 2+RH12)1/2= (4862+100.22)1/2= 111.36 N
R2=(RV22+RH22)= (232.42+1261.22)=1282.43 N
The bearings reactions are in the radial direction
Fr1=R1= 111.36 N Fr2=R2= 1282.43 N
There is no axial thrust on the bearing hence Fa1= Fa2= 0
