The bearing lubricant (513 SUS at 100°F) operating point is 135°F. A countershaft is supported by two tapered roller bearings using an indirect mounting. The radial bearing loads are 560 lbf for the left-hand bearing and 1095 for the right-hand bearing. The shaft rotates at 400 rev/min and is to have a desired life of 40 kh. Use an application factor of 1.4 and a combined reliability goal of 0.90. Using an initial K = 1.5, find the required radial rating for each bearing. Select the bearings from Fig. 11–15.

Given:
\begin{array}{l}{{F_{r A}=560\,{\mathrm{lbf}}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad2.492\,\mathrm{KN}}}\\ {{F_{r B}=1095\ {\mathrm{lbf}}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad4.873\,\mathrm{KN}}}\end{array}Trial #1: Use K_{A}=K_{B}=1.5 and from Table 11-6 choose an indirect mounting.
{\frac{0.47F_{r A}}{K_{A}}}\lt \ ?\gt {\frac{0.47F_{r B}}{K_{B}}}-(-1)(0){\frac{0.47(2.492)}{1.5}}\lt ?\gt {\frac{0.47(4.873)}{1.5}}
0.781\,\lt \,1.527 Therefore use the upper line of Table 11-6.
F_{a A}=F_{a B}=\frac{0.47F_{r B}}{K_{B}}=1.527\,\mathrm{kN}\begin{array}{l}{{P_{A}=0.4F_{r A}+K_{A}F_{a A}=0.4(2.492)+1.5(1.527)=3.29\,\mathrm{kN}}}\\ {{P_{B}=F_{r B}=4.873\,\mathrm{kN}}}\end{array}
Fig. 11-16: f_{T}=0.8
Fig. 11-17: f_{V}=1.07
Thus, a_{3l}=f_{T}f_{V}=0.8(1.07)=0.856
Individual reliability: R_{i}={\sqrt{0.9}}=0.95
Eq. (11-17):
C_{10}=a_{f}P\left[\frac{L_{D}}{4.48f_{T}f_{v}(1-R_{D})^{2/3}90(10^{6})}\right]^{3/10} ({L}_{D} in revolutions) (11-17)
(C_{10})_{A}=1.4(3.29)\Biggl[{\frac{40\,000(400)(60)}{4.48(0.856)(1-0.95)^{2/3}(90)(10^{6})}}\Biggr]^{0.3}=11.40\,kN(C_{10})_{B}=1.4(4.873)\Biggl[{\frac{40\,000(400)(60)}{4.48(0.856)(1-0.95)^{2/3}(90)(10^{6})}}\Biggr]^{0.3}=16.88\,kN
From Fig. 11-15, choose cone 32 305 and cup 32 305 which provide F_{r}=17.4\,\mathrm{kN} and K = 1.95. With K = 1.95 for both bearings, a second trial validates the choice of cone 32 305 and cup 32 305. Ans.

Two-Row Mounting, Fixed or Floating (with No External Thrust, {F_{ae}=0}) Similar Bearing Series
For two-row similar bearing series with no external thrust, {F}_{ae}=0, the dynamic equivalent radial load P equals {{F}}_{rAB} or {{F}}_{rC}. Since {{F}}_{rAB} or {{F}}_{rC} is the radial load on the two-row assembly, the two-row basic dynamic radial load rating, C_{90(2)}, is to be used to calculate bearing life. |

OPTIONAL APPROACH FOR DETERMINING DYNAMIC EQUIVALENT RADIAL LOADS
The following is a general approach to determining the dynamic equivalent radial loads and therefore is more suitable for programmable calculators and computer programming. Here a factor m has to be defined as +1 for direct-mounted single row or two-row bearings or −1 for indirect-mounted bearings. Also a sign convention is necessary for the external thrust {{F}}_{a e} as follows: |

F_{a\,B}=\frac{0.47F_{r\,B}}{K_{B}} | P_{B}=F_{r\,B} | |

*If m{F}_{ae} is positive, K=K_{B}; If m{F}_{ae} is negative, K=K_{A}. Note: {{F}}_{r\,AB} is the radial load on the two-row assembly. The single-row basic dynamic radial load rating, C_{90}, is to be applied in calculating life by the above equations. |
