Consider a constrained housing as depicted in Fig. 11–19 with two direct-mount tapered roller bearings resisting an external thrust F_{ae} of 8000 N. The shaft speed is 950 rev/min,the desired life is 10 000 h, the expected shaft diameter is approximately 1 in. The reliability goal is 0.95. The application factor is appropriately a_f = 1.
(a) Choose a suitable tapered roller bearing for A.
(b) Choose a suitable tapered roller bearing for B.
(c) Find the reliabilities R_A \ , \ R_B \ , \ and \ R.
