TUTORIAL 5 – BEARING
Q1 An angular-contact, inner ring rotation, 02-series ball bearing is required for an
application in which the life requirement is 50000 h at 480 rev/min. The design radial
load is 610 lbf. The application factor is 1.4. The reliability goal is 0.90. Find the multiple
of rating life xD required and the catalog rating C10 with which to enter Table 11-2.
Choose a bearing and estimate the existing reliability in service.
Ans.: 0.927
Q2 The other bearing on the shaft of Problem Q1 is to be 03-series cylindrical roller bearing
with inner ring rotating. For a 7342-N radial load, find the catalog rating C10 with which
to enter Table 11-3. The reliability goal is 0.90. Choose the bearing and estimate its
reliability in use. Ans.: 0.942
Q3 Figure 1 shown is a geared countershaft with an overhanging pinion at C. Select an
angular-contact ball bearing from Table 11-2 for mounting at O and a straight roller
bearing for mounting at B. The force on gear A is FA = 2670 N, and the shaft is to run at
a speed of 480 rev/min. Solution of the static problem gives force of bearing against the
shaft at O as RO = 1722j + 2078k Nm and at B as RB = 1406j – 7187k N. Specify the
bearing required, using an application factor of 1.4, a desired life of 50000 h, and a
combined reliability goal of 0.90.
Ans.: Select a 02-80 mm cylindrical roller
or a 03-60 mm cylindrical roller. The 03-series
roller has the same bore as the 02-series ball.

Q4 Figure 2 is a schematic drawing of a countershaft that supports two V-belt pulleys. The
countershaft runs at 1200 rev/min and the bearings are to have a life of 60 kh at a
combined reliability of 0.999. The belt tension on a loose side of pulley A is 15 percent of
the tension on the tight side. Select deep-groove bearings from table 11-2 for use at O
and E, each to have a 25-mm bore, using an application factor of unity.
Ans.: A 02-25 mm deep groove ball bearing has
a basic load rating of 14.0 kN which is ample. An
extra-light bearing could also be investigated.
