Classification of bearing load
The loading on bearings can be
classified into three groups:
• Series Designation
6309
• Light :
200 Bearing type
Bore diameter
• Medium: Series number
300
• Heavy :
400
Main parts of a typical ball bearing
Ball Ball retainer
Inner ring
Outer ring
Selection of ball bearings:
Deep groove 1
Angular contact
Self aligning
Selection of ball bearing
Experiments have shown that the life of a ball
bearing is a function of the load it
carries.

Installation of ball bearings:
The shaft must be designed to take the
inner ring (race)., see fig. (6.7)
A suitable mounting must be
designed for the outer ring (race).
Lubrication must be provided for the
bearing
Methods of sealing the lubricant and
preventing penetration of foreign matter
must be provided.
Fastening ball bearing to a shaft
Example2
A shaft is supported by two bearings. One of the
bearings carries a radial load of 1200 lb and an axial
load of 600 lb with minor shocks. The shaft runs at
230 rpm and operates 10 hours per day for 5 days per
week. Select a suitable ball bearing with a service
life of 2 years if the diameter of the shaft can be
varied between
16
3 1 5 and 3 1 inch.
