Introduction to Rolling Contact Bearings:
➔ Rolling contact bearings are also known as antifriction bearings.
➔ The load, speed, and operating viscosity of the lubricant affect the friction
characteristics of a rolling bearing.
➔ These bearings provide coefficients of friction between 0.001 and 0.002.
➔ The designer must deal with such matters as fatigue, friction, heat, lubrication,
kinematics problems, material properties, machining tolerances, assembly, use and
cost.
Classification of rolling bearings:

● Deep groove (Conrad) bearing

● Filling notch ball bearing
● Angular contact bearings (AC)

● Cylindrical bearings
● Needle bearings
● Tapered bearings
● Spherical bearings
Bearing Selection Criteria:
1) Shaft diameter
shafts with small diameter
(approx. d < 10)
deep groove ball bearings, needle roller bearings, self-aligning ball bearings
shafts with normal diameter
all bearing types
very limited radial space
needle roller bearing, CARB toroidal roller bearings in the C49, C59 or C69 series, bearings
without inner or outer ring and raceways machined directly on the shaft or in the housing.
2) Load
Roller bearing accommodate larger loads than ball bearings.
Full complement bearings accommodate larger loads than Corresponding bearings with cage.
3) Speed and friction
a)Ball bearings have a lower frictional moment than same-sized roller bearings.
b) Thrust bearings cannot accommodate speeds as high as same-sized radial bearings.
c) Single row bearing types typically generate low frictional heat and are therefore more suitable for
high-speed operation than double or multi-row bearings.
d) Bearings with rolling elements made of ceramics (hybrid bearings) accommodate higher speeds than
their all-steel equivalents.
4) Misalignment
Bearing types vary in their ability to compensate for misalignment between the shaft and housing:
a)Self-Aligning bearings (can compensate for misalignment within the bearing)
b) Alignment bearings. (can accommodate initial static misalignment)
c) Rigid Bearings. (deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, cylindrical, needle and
tapered roller bearings)
5) Temperature
The dimensional stability of the bearing rings and rolling elements
The Cage, Seals, Lubricant
Other factors include: Precision, Stiffness, Mounting, Cost and availability.
Bearing Selection Criteria:

Step 1: Determination of radial and axial forces and

shaft OD.

Step 2: Selection of bearing type for given

application.

Step 3: Determination of X and Y factors from

catalogue.
 Step 4: Calculation of equivalent dynamic load
P= XFr+YFa.

Step 5: decide expected bearing life and express it

in L10 in million revs.

Step 6: Calculate dynamic load capacity.

Step 7: Check if selected bearing has required

dynamic load capacity. If not, return to step 3.
Selection of X and Y factors:
STEPS:
➢ Calculate (Fa/Fr) ratio.
➢ Calculate (Fa/Co) ratio by selecting a value of Co for a particular bearing corresponding to required
shaft diameter.
➢ From (Fa/Co) ratio, get corresponding value of ‘e’
➢ Determine if (Fa/Fr) ratio is greater than or less than e.
➢ Pick X and Y ratios. (interpolate Y, if required)
➢ Calculate equivalent dynamic load from the equation

Motor speed : 4000rpm

Power : 2kw
Output speed: 333
Radial and axial Loads:

24.13 25.90

212.206 61.04

77.235 0
Bearing Calculation:
The document shows design of bearings for Input Shaft:

Fr= 24.13N Capprox= Fr (L10)^ (0.3)

Fa=25.90N Capprox = 24.13 ( 1728)^(0.3)

(Fa/Fr) ratio= 1.073 Capprox = 282.45

L10h = 90% of 8000 hrs

= 7200 hrs

L10 = 60 n L10h / 10^6

L10= 1728
d=10 mm bore

THEREFORE C= 1480 IS SUITABLE ACCORDING TO CALCULATIONS:

Corresponding Co = 630

(Fa/Co) ratio = 0.041125

Therefore from table 15.4 in VBB

X=0.56 , e =0.24

Y = 1.7925 (From “Interpolation”)

Now calculating Dynamic Load,

P = 59.95 N

C= P(L10)^0.3

C = 701.39

Therefore design of bearing is satisfactory.

Row-deep groove ball bearing 61800 is selected.
