ROLLING CONTACT BEARING

1. The ball bearings are to be selected for an application in which the radial load is
2500 N during 90 % of the time and 7000 N during 10 %.The shaft is to rotate at
150 rpm. Determine the minimum value of the basic dynamic load rating for 5000
hours of operation with not more than 10% failures.[2017-18]
2. A shaft rotating at constant speed is subjected to variable load. The bearings
supporting the shaft are subjected to stationary equivalent radial load of 3 kN for
10 per cent of time, 2 KN for 20 per cent of time, 1 kN for 30 per cent of time and
no load for remaining time of cycle. If the total life expected for the beating is 20 x
106 revolutions at 95 per cent reliability, calculate dynamic load rating of the ball
bearing.[2016-17,2014-15]
3. Select a single row deep groove ball bearing for a radial load of 4000 N and an
axial load of 5000 N, operating at speed of 1600 rpm. for an average life of 5 years
at 10 hours per day. Assume uniform & steady load.[2014-15]
4. Select a single row deep groove ball bearing for a radial load of 4500 N and an
axial load of 5500 N, operating at speed of 1500 rpm. for an average life of 5 years
running for 12 hours per day.[2013-14]
5. Select a suitable roller bearing to carry a radial load of 25,000 N. The shaft rotates
at 1500 rpm, average life is 4000 hours. Inner race rotates. Take mild shock.[2013-
14]
6. For a single row deep groove ball bearing, dynamic load carrying capacity of the
bearing is 5590 N and static load carrying capacity , of the bearing g is 2500 N.
Axial and radial load on the bearing are 625 N and 1250 N respectively.
Determine the equivalent load and life of ball bearing if (i) inner race is rotating
and (ii) outer race is rotating.[2012-13]
7. A system is using 3 identical ball bearings,each subjected to 3kN radial load
.Reliability of the system that is 1 out of 3 bearings failure during the life time of 6
million cycles is 83 %.Determine the dynamic load carrying capacity of the
bearing with 90 % reliability.[2012-13]
8. A deep groove ball bearing has dynamic capacity of 20000 N and is to operate on
the following work cycle: radial load of 6000 N at 200 rpm for 25% time, radial
load of 9000 N at 500 rpm for 20 % of the time and radial load of 3500 N at 400
rpm for the remaining period .Assuming the loads are steady and the inner race
rotates, find the average expected life of the bearings in hours.[2011-12]
9. Select a suitable bearing for a 40 mm shaft that has to operate 8 hours per day, 5
days per week for 5 years and is to carry a stationary radial load 2500 N at 1500
rpm. The use involves minor shock and inner ring is rotating.[2011-12]

10. Define the following terms as applied to rolling contact bearings:

(i) Basic static load rating
(ii) (ii) Static equivalent load
(iii) (iii) Rated life
(iv) (iv) Average life
(v) Basic dynamic load rating
(vi) Dynamic equivalent load.
