Question 11.40: A countershaft is supported by two tapered roller bearings u...

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. An axial load of 200 lbf is carried by the left 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.

\begin{aligned}&F_{r A}=560  lbf \\&F_{r B}=1095  lbf \\&F_{a e}=200  lbf \\&x_{D}=\frac{L_{D}}{L_{R}}=\frac{40000(400)(60)}{90\left(10^{6}\right)}=10.67 \\&R=\sqrt{0.90}=0.949\end{aligned}

Eq. (11-15):            F_{i A}=\frac{0.47 F_{r A}}{K_{A}}=\frac{0.47(560)}{1.5}=175.5  lbf

Eq. (11-15):            F_{i B}=\frac{0.47 F_{r B}}{K_{B}}=\frac{0.47(1095)}{1.5}=343.1  lbf

F_{i A} \leq ? \geq\left(F_{i B}+F_{a e}\right)

175.5  lbf \leq(343.1+200)=543.1  lbf \text {, } so Eq. (11-16) applies.

We will size bearing B first since its induced load will affect bearing A, but is not itself affected by the induced load from bearing A [see Eq. (11-16)].

From Eq. (11-16b),  F_{e B}=F_{r B}=1095  lbf.

Eq. (11-7):      F_{R B}=1.4(1095)\left(\frac{10.67}{4.48(1-0.949)^{1 / 1.5}}\right)^{3 / 10}=3607  lbf

Select cone 32305, cup 32305, with 0.9843 in bore, and rated at 3910 lbf with K = 1.95.

With bearing B selected, we re-evaluate the induced load from bearing B using the actual value for K.

Eq. (11-15):            F_{i B}=\frac{0.47 F_{r B}}{K_{B}}=\frac{0.47(1095)}{1.95}=263.9  lbf

Find the equivalent radial load for bearing A from Eq. (11-16), which still applies.

Eq. (11-16a):

\begin{aligned}&F_{e A}=0.4 F_{r A}+K_{A}\left(F_{i B}+F_{a e}\right) \\&F_{e A}=0.4(560)+1.5(263.9+200)=920  lbf\end{aligned}

 

F_{e A}>F_{r A}

 

Eq. (11-7):         F_{R A}=1.4(920)\left(\frac{10.67}{4.48(1-0.949)^{1 / 1.5}}\right)^{3 / 10}=3030  lbf

Tentatively select cone M86643, cup M86610, with 1 in bore, and rated at 3250 lbf with K = 1.07. Iterating with the new value for K, we get F_{e A}=702  lbf \text { and } F_{r A}=2312  lbf .

By using a bearing with a lower K, the rated load decreased significantly, providing a higher than requested reliability. Further examination with different combinations of bearing choices could yield additional acceptable solutions.

Eq. (11-7): C_{10} \doteq a_{f} F_{D}\left[\frac{x_{D}}{x_{0}+\left(\theta-x_{0}\right)\left(1-R_{D}\right)^{1 / b}}\right]^{1 / a} \quad R \geq 0.90

Eq. (11-15): F_{i}=\frac{0.47 F_{r}}{K}

Eq. (11-16): \text { If } \quad F_{i A} \leq\left(F_{i B}+F_{a e}\right) \quad \begin{cases}F_{e A}=0.4 F_{r A}+K_{A}\left(F_{i B}+F_{a e}\right) & (11-16 a) \\ F_{e B}=F_{r B} & (11-16 b)\end{cases}
