Question 15.8: A transmission shaft, transmitting 8 kW of power at 400 rpm ...

A transmission shaft, transmitting 8 kW of power at 400 rpm from a bevel gear G_{1} to a helical gear G_{2} and mounted on two taper roller bearings B_{1} \text { and } B_{2} is shown in Fig. 15.12(a). The gear tooth forces on the helical gear act at a pitch circle radius of 55 mm, while those on the bevel gear can be assumed to act at the large end of the tooth at a radius of 50 mm. The diameter of the journal at the bearings B_{1} \text { and } B_{2} is 40 mm. The load factor is 1.2 and the expected life for 90% of bearings is 10 000 h. Bearings B_{1} \text { and } B_{2} are identical. The thrust force due to bevel and helical gears is taken by the bearing B2. Select suitable taper roller bearings for this application.
