A catalog lists the basic dynamic load rating for a ball bearing to be 7050 lb for a rated life of 1 million rev. What would be the expected L10 life of the bearing if it were subjected to a load of 3500 lb?
A catalog lists the basic dynamic load rating for a ball bearing to be 7050 lb for a rated life of 1 million rev. What would be the expected L10 life of the bearing if it were subjected to a load of 3500 lb?
In Equation (14_1), L1L2=(P2P1)k
P1=C=7050lb (basic dynamic load rating)
P2=Pd=3500lb (design load)
L1=106rev (L10 life at load C)
k = 3 (ball bearing)
Then letting the life, L2, be called the design life,Ld. at the design load, L2=Ld=L1(P2P1)k=106(35007050)3.00=8.17×106rev This must be interpreted as the L10 life at a load of 3500 Ib.
