A detailed study considering load magnitude, misalignment, rotational speed, fit, preload ‘operating and environmental conditions etc. at location and ‘equipment to which bearing tobeinstalled wii fact suggest the proper bearing to be selected, Other factors playing vital roe in bearing selecton includes housing & shaft parameters and service life of equipment, The lubricant and sealing alo plays a ritcal role. Tiss important a cleanliness has effect on bearing life. As a general guideline basic steps can be followed for selecting appropriate bearingas shown inthe low ehart. eee, #23: ll SCAN, 3.1. Selectionoftypeofbearing (Allowable installation spacefor bearing) ‘The limit of space avaliable for besring installation is a major factor according to which the type and size of bearing must be Selected. Generally design of shat initiates with fixing of shaft diameter followed by checking other parameters for feasible design. The bore of bearing is selected on the basis of shaft parameters. The wide variety of dimensions available in dimension series of roling bearings provides the basis for selection of feasible bearing. The figure 3.2. shows the diferent typesof bearinganddimensionseresafralingbearing3.1.2Load capacity and direction Direction of load, magnitude of load and direction of application plays a vital role in selection of bearings. Apart from these vibration and impact also contributes significantly in besring Selection. tis seen that for shack / impact loads roller bearings have higher load eapacty than ball bearings when bearings of the same dimension series are compared. The figure 3.3 shows the ioad capacity of diferenttype of bearings. ‘iat Toad Capocky Bearing Tye iContact eg sia tee sca tes 3.1.3Speedofrotation Speed of rotation of particular type of bearing which in fact is allowable speed of bearing depends upon Bearing Size, Cage, Running accuracy, load magnitude and lubrication. It has been seen that generally ball bearing (bath deep groove and angular Contact) and cylindrical roller bearings are widely used in applications with requirement of high speed of rotation.

Thetoleranceclassf lass Sor higher'Is recommended In such type of plications. Deep groove ball bering, Angular contact bal bearing and cylindrical ‘roller bearings are precisely designed for applications with high ‘accuracy requirement, 3.4.5 Rigidity ‘the point of contact wherein rolling elements are in contact with bearing raceways under load, elastic deformation appears. ‘This is known as rigidity of bearing Elastic deformation in roller ‘bearings incomparisonto bal bearing isless under same loading coneltione I becomas ezzortal for bearings to have sufficient ‘iglityfor beter performance as welltoreachtarget ieRatio of bearing load to elastic deformation determines the Figicity of bearing. The rigidity of bearing can be enhanced by preload which gives bearing a negative clearance prior to operation. Mostly taper roller bearing, and angular contact bearingsare preloaded 3.1.6 Misalignmentof races andtypes ofbearings ‘The shaft and housings playsa vita rolein alignment particuaehy suring operating conditions. Under the circumstances which causes accuracyin alignment suchas shaft deflection under loads can eadsto misalignment ier and ter ringof bearing Misalignment which is excessive in nature can significantly damage the bearings involved. There is avalabilty of bearings that can accommodate misalignments up to certain extent. Ii lays tecommended to select such bearings in thosecondivons, Generally eters for selection of bearings says higher the sel aligning capability of bearing, more isthe misalignment it can accommodate Spherical roller bearings and selfaligning ball bearings can accommodate high misallgnmentsfolowed by deep groove ball bearings and angular contact ball bearings, Cylindrical roller bearings can least accommodate misalignments 3.1.7 Mounting and ismounting of bearings Another way of classifying bearings depends upon theirnature of Separation based on which they are categorized into separable and non-separable types. Here separable type of bearings can offer ease of mounting and dismounting. Applications which require periodic inspections the separable type of bearings are recommended, The roller bearings suchas taper roller bearings, ‘rlindrica roller bearings anc needle roller bearings ate basically recommended for applications which require periadic mounting and dismounting, Also in case of spherical roller bearings with tapered bore and selFaligning ball bearings with tapered bore the use sleevecanease the mounting ofbearings. ON 3.1.8 Noiseandtorque Iti the evelof precision to whieh the bearings are manufactured contribute to naise and torque outcomes. Here at NBC bearings high precisions are kept while manufacturing all types of bearings. Nose levels are many a times specified based on applications to meet the requirements as seenin thecaseofdeep sroove bal bearings and cylindrical roller bearings. Generaly for ‘ry low noise and torque Deep groove ball Bearings are recommended. 3.2Selection of bearing arrangement Generally, two oF more bearings are used In various application for the purpose of supporting the shafts. The following factors playsavitalrolein bearing mounting arrangements (a) Location of bearings inarrangementfor ease cf mounting and ismounting (b) Variations in temperature leading to expansion and contraction of shat. (c) Deflection of shaft as well as ercare during mounting it any) ‘causing msalignmentin bearing (c) Besrings ality sustain loads attheirmountingpasiton Usually, Bearing arrangement on shaft happens in way that @ bearing is mounted on Fixed side followed by other bearing mounted on reeside Fixed side bearing: The bearing which prevents axial movement of the shaft relative to housing sired bearings. Fred side bearing i abe to support radial andaxial loads. Abearing that ean fixthe axial ovementin both the direction must be selected Floating side bearing: The bearing which allows axial movement of shaft relative to housing is Floating bearing.
