For N<10^3
For N=10^3-10^6
q graph is for reversed bending or reversed axial loading, and qs graph is for reversed torsion
G1=driver(pinion) G2=driven(gear)
Circular pitch p is the same for G1 and G2
Reduction gear train: G1 has less teeth N than G2: 1:2 ratio
Gear Forces
σ=bending stress
σc=contact stress
σall=allowable stress
σc,all=allowable
contact stress
Types of rolling contact: Ball, Cylindrical roller, Tapered roller, Load Vs life Selecting bearings for other reliabilities
spherical roller, needle roller
Double row Bearings: carry heavier radial and thrust loads, more
compact than two bearings in tandem
Cylindrical Roller bearing: Provide greater contact area than ball
bearings hence carry higher loads, free to float axially, made to Summary of procedure (radial + thrust)
support some thrust load.
Needle bearings: used when radial space is limited, for radial
loads only, have a high load carrying capacity, can be obtained
with or without rings.
Tapered roller bearings: can support radial and axial loads in one Recommended life, factors
direction, angles: 15-17, 17-24, 24-45, the higher the contact
angle, the higher the thrust load capacity and lower radial load
capacity.
Reliability of two bearings:
Self-aligning double row bearings: used when small amount of
shaft deflection and slope occurs Combined radial and thrust loading
Double row spherical roller bearings: support large thrust loads Summary for radial load
and radial loads in both directions.
Definitions of Bearing life
Variable loading
Rating life: (minimum life L10 or B10 life)
Number of revolutions (or hours at a constant speed)
at which 10% of a group of bearings have failed
Most common 10^6 revolutions
Timken: 90*10^6
Median life(average life)
Number of revolutions (or hours at constant speed)
at which 50% of a group of bearings have failed
L10 is usually 10^6
Stiffness of bolt Procedure for screws Shear and bending
A=throat size
Threaded fasteners
Stiffness of members
Springs
Joint types
Welded cantilever
