PLO-3: Design/Development of Solutions: Ability to design solutions for complex engineering problems and design
systems, components, or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety,
cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
CLO-3: To effectively design different mechanical engineering components for desired outputs, including gears,
flywheels, clutches, brakes, journal bearings, rolling contact bearings, power screws, chains and belts etc.
Problem Statement
Solve the following numerical problems in the capacity of the given learning domains.
The shaft shown in the figure is proposed as a preliminary design for the application defined in Prob. 3–72, p. 152. The
effective centers of the gears for force transmission are shown. The dimensions for the bearing surfaces (indicated with
cross markings) have been estimated. The shaft rotates at U rev/min, and the desired bearing life is R kh with a 95 percent
reliability in each bearing, assuming distribution data from manufacturer 2 in Table 11–6. Use an application factor of 1.2.
(a) Obtain a Basic Load Rating for a ball bearing at the right end.
(b) Use an online bearing catalog to find a specific bearing that satisfies the needed Basic Load Rating and the geometry
requirements. If necessary, indicate appropriate adjustments to the dimensions of the bearing surface.
