3. Roller Bearing Nomenclature(from Shigley)
4. Calculating Tapered Bearing Loads
5. Effective Radial Loads For sizing bearing the effective radial load will be used.
If the effective radial load is less than the actual radial load, use the actual load
Bearing A induces thrust on B and vice versa
6. Example Table for Bearing Selection
7. Steps in Tapered Roller Bearing Selection Given required bearing life L10 and load arrangment
Determine applied radial Fex and thrust Tex loads
Distribute radial loads to bearings: FrA and FrB using estimated a value to locate load center
Estimate Bearing K factors for induced thrust
Calculate equivalent radial loads FeA and FeB using estimated K factor
Calculate rated load using actual load and desired life
Select bearing from those available (in table)
Check bearing loads using actual K factor and a values
8. Example Selection Problem Gear transmission as shown with small gear being helical which generates thrust of 0.3 x tangential force
Obtain radial loads assuming static equilibrium
Use estimates of a=0 and K=1.5 to begin problem
Seek life of 50,000 hours at 1000 rpm
Nominal shaft diameter = 1 in.
Force angles on gear at 25 degrees
Use identical tapered roller bearings
9. Example Solution
10. Common mounting alternatives
11. Mounting Bearings with Thrust Loading Ideally the constraints are not redundant
Consider the case where thrust can reverse
Arrows show load transfer for either direction
Thrust in either direction carried by left bearing
12. Alternative Mounting with Thrust Thrust load carried by one or the other bearing
Dimensional inaccuracies or temperature variations causes unplanned preload
13. Preload Arranged at One End of Shaft Controlled amounts of preload is useful to eliminate clearance if improved accuracy is needed.
14. Misalignment Can Be Devastating Roller bearings limited to 0.001 rad
Deep-groove ball bearings < 0.0047 rad
Other spherical ball bearings < 0.0087 rad
