The gear-reduction unit shown has a gear that is press fit onto a cylindrical sleeve that rotates around a stationary shaft. The helical gear transmits an axial thrust load T of 250 lbf as shown in the figure. Tangential and radial loads (not shown) are also transmitted through the gear, producing radial ground reaction forces at the bearings of 875 lbf for bearing A and 625 lbf for bearing B. The desired life for each bearing is 90 kh at a speed of 150 rev/min with a 90 percent reliability. The first iteration of the shaft design indicates approximate diameters of 1 \frac{1}{8} in at A and 1 in at B. Select suitable tapered roller bearings from Fig. 11–15.

The left bearing is compressed by the axial load, so it is properly designated as bearing A.

\begin{aligned}&F_{r A}=875  lbf \\&F_{r B}=625  lbf \\&F_{a e}=250  lbf\end{aligned}

Assume K = 1.5 for each bearing for the first iteration. Obtain the induced loads.

Eq. (11-15):  F_{i A}=\frac{0.47 F_{r A}}{K_{A}}=\frac{0.47(875)}{1.5}=274  lbf

Eq. (11-15):  F_{i B}=\frac{0.47 F_{r B}}{K_{B}}=\frac{0.47(625)}{1.5}=196  lbf

Check the condition on whether to apply Eq. (11-16) or Eq. (11-17).

F_{i A} \leq ? \geq F_{i B}+F_{a e}

274  lbf <196+250  lbf , so Eq.(11-16) applies

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

From Eq. (11-16b), F_{e B}=F_{r B}=625 \text { lbf. }

Eq. (11-3):

\begin{aligned}&F_{R B}=a_{f} F_{D}\left[\frac{L_{D}}{L_{R}}\right]^{3 / 10}=1(625)\left[\frac{90000(150)(60)}{90\left(10^{6}\right)}\right]^{3 / 10} \\&F_{R B}=1208  lbf\end{aligned}

Select cone 07100, cup 07196, with 1 in bore, and rated at 1570 lbf with K = 1.45.

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(625)}{1.45}=203  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) \\&=0.4(875)+1.5(203+250)=1030  lbf \\F_{e A} &>F_{r A}\end{aligned}

Eq. (11-3):

\begin{aligned}&F_{R A}=a_{f} F_{D}\left[\frac{L_{D}}{L_{R}}\right]^{3 / 10}=1(1030)\left[\frac{90000(150)(60)}{90\left(10^{6}\right)}\right]^{3 / 10} \\&F_{R A}=1990  lbf\end{aligned}

Any of the bearings with 1-1/8 in bore are more than adequate. Select cone 15590, cup 15520, rated at 2480 lbf with K = 1.69. Iterating with the new value for K, we get F_{e A}=1120  lbf \text { and } F_{r A}=2160  lbf \text {. }  The selected bearing is still adequate.

Eq. (11-3):  C_{10}=F_{R}=F_{D}\left(\frac{L_{D}}{L_{R}}\right)^{1 / a}=F_{D}\left(\frac{ L _{D} n_{D} 60}{ L _{R} n_{R} 60}\right)^{1 / a}

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\left\{\begin{array}{l}F_{e A}=0.4 F_{r A}+K_{A}\left(F_{i B}+F_{a e}\right) \\F_{e B}=F_{r B}\end{array}\right.

Eq. (11-17):   \text { If } \quad F_{i A}>\left(F_{i B}+F_{a e}\right) \quad\left\{\begin{array}{l}F_{e B}=0.4 F_{r B}+K_{B}\left(F_{i A}-F_{a e}\right) \\F_{e A}=F_{r A}\end{array}\right.
