1. From a strength-based shaft design calculation, the shaft diameter at one of the bearing sites on a steel shaft has been found to be 38 mm. The radial load at this bearing site is 675 N, and the shaft rotates at 500 rpm. The operating temperature of the bearing has been estimated to be about 90o C . It is desired to use a length-to-diameter ratio of 1.5 for this application. Based on environmental factors, the material for the bearing sleeve has been narrowed down to a choice between nylon and filled Teflon. Which material would you recommend?
Solution
This is a case of continuous rotation, so the sliding velocity Vcont is
Vcont = π dN = π (0.038)(500) = 59.7 m/min
From Table 11.1, (Vmax )nylon = 182.9 m/min and (Vmax )Teflon = 304.8 m/min - both meet velocity criteria.
W W 675 P= = = = 0.312 MPa dL d (1.5d ) 1.5(0.038) 2
From Table 11.1, ( Pmax )nylon = 13.8 MPa and ( Pmax )Teflon = 17.2 MPa - both meet the velocity criteria.
PV = 0.312(59.7) = 18.6 MPa-m/min
From Table 11.1, ( PVmax )nylon = 6.3 MPa-m/min - does not work, ( PVmax )Teflon = 21.0 MPa-m/min - acceptable
Filled Teflon is selected

The shaft supports two spur gears loaded as indicated, is supported by bearings at A and D, and rotates at 1200 rpm. A strength based analysis has been performed and it has been determined that a shaft diameter of 10 mm would be adequate for the steel shaft. You are considering the use of boundary-lubricated bearings for which L = 1.5d . A porous bronze bearing sleeve has been proposed. Determine if this bearing selection is adequate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solution
The reactions at A and D are required in order
to determine the radial load in each bearing. Using the free body diagram shown we can deter mine the reactions.
∑ Fy = 0 : Ay + Dy = 200 ( ∑ M A )z = 0 : 50Dy + 30(300) − 20(500) = 0 Dy = 20 N , Ay = 180 N
∑ Fz = 0 : Az + Dz = −550 (∑ M A )y = 0 : 50 Dz + 30(750) − 20(200) = 0 Dz = −370 N , Az = −180 N
2 The radial force R supported by each bearing is RA = ( Ay ) + ( Az )2 = (180)2 + ( −180)2 ≈ 255 N 2 RD = ( Dy ) + ( Dz )2 = ( 20)2 + ( −370)2 ≈ 370 N RD 370 370 370 Using the maximum bearing reaction force P= = = = ≈ 2.5 MPa dL d (1.5d ) 1.5d 2 1.5(0.01)2
The sliding velocity for this continuous rotation application is
Therefore the porous bronze bearing sleeve is adequate for this application

https://www.coursehero.com/file/27228554/ME-3671-Homework-Set-6-Solutionspdf/ 3. The shaft shown is to be supported by two bearings, one at location A and the other location B. The shaft is loaded by a commercial- quality driven helical gear mounted as shown. The gear imposes tangential load of 1800 lb, a radial load of 700 lb and a thrust load of 250 lb applied at a pitch radius of 3 inches. The thrust load is to be fully supported by bearing A (bearing B takes no thrust load). It is being proposed to use a single-row tapered roller bearing at location A, and another one at location B. The devise is to operate at 350 rpm, 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 3 years before bearing replacement is necessary. Standard L10 reliability is deemed acceptable. A strength-based analysis has shown that the minimum shaft diameter must be 0.675 inches at both bearing sites. Select suitable bearings for both location A and location B.

https://www.coursehero.com/file/27228554/ME-3671-Homework-Set-6-Solutionspdf/ For both bearings the design life is to be ⎛ rev ⎞⎛ min ⎞ ⎛ hr ⎞ ⎛ days ⎞ ⎛ wk ⎞ 8 Ld = ⎜ 350 ⎟⎜ 60 ⎟⎜8 ⎟⎜5 ⎟ ⎜ 52 ⎟ (3 yr ) = 1.31×10 rev ⎝ min ⎠⎝ hr ⎠ ⎝ day ⎠ ⎝ wk ⎠ ⎝ yr ⎠
From Table 11.3, for commercial gearing IF = 1.2 and from Table 11.2, for R = 90% , KR = 1.0 . For bearing A then, from (11-3)
Pe = X d Fr + Yd Fa From Table 11.4, for single row roller bearing (α ≠ 0), which is a good assumption for tapered roller bearings; X d1 = 1.0 , Yd1 = 0 and X d2 = 0.4 , Yd2 = 0.4cot α . Since α is not known till the bearing is selected, first assume that Yd ≈ 1.5 , and revise later when α becomes known. Hence, for 2
bearing A ( Pe )1 = 1.0(750) + 0(250) = 750 lb ( Pe )2 = 0.4(750) + 1.5(250) = 675 lb Since ( Pe )2 < ( Pe )1 , Pe = ( Pe )1 = 750 lb . The basic dynamic radial load rating from (11-4) is 1 ⎡ ⎤a Ld ⎡⎣Cd ( 90 )⎤⎦ =⎢ ⎥ ( IF ) P e req ⎢ K 106 ⎢⎣ R ( ) ⎥ ⎥⎦ Using a = 10/3 for roller bearings, we find
From Table 11.7, tentatively select bearing No. 30204, which has a value of Cd = 6370 lb. However, it must be noted that this bearing has a value of Yd = 1.74 which is significantly 2
different from the value assumed before (1.50). Using this value and recalculating ( Pe )2 as ( Pe )2 = 0.4(750) + 1.74(250) = 735 lb This is still less than Pe = ( Pe )1 = 750 lb , so we should be alright.
For bearing B ( Pe )1 = 1.0(1190) + 0(0) = 1190 lb ( Pe )2 = 0.4(1190) + 1.5(0) = 476 lb Since ( Pe )2 < ( Pe )1 , Pe = ( Pe )1 = 1190 lb . 3/10 ⎡ ⎤ 1.3 ×108 ⎡⎣Cd ( 90 )⎤⎦ =⎢ ⎥ (1.2 )(1190 ) ≈ 6150 lb req ⎢⎣ ( ) ⎢ (1.0 ) 106 ⎥ ⎥⎦ Looking again at Table 11.7, we can use the same bearing (No. 30204) The bore diameter (0.7874”) is larger than our required minimum diameter (0.675”). This does not present a problem, since we increase the shaft diameter and thus increase whatever factor of safety for the shaft that there originally was.
Checking static capacity, from Table 11.7 Cs = 6560 lb is an acceptable value.

https://www.coursehero.com/file/27228554/ME-3671-Homework-Set-6-Solutionspdf/ 4. A helical idler gear is to be supported at the center of a short hollow circular shaft using a single-row radial ball bearing. The inner race is presses on the fixed non-rotating shaft, and the rotating gear is attached to the outer race of the bearing. The gear is to rotate at 900 rpm. The forces in the gear produce a resultant radial force on the bearing of 1800 N and a resultant thrust force on the bearing if 1460 N. The assembly is subjected to light shock loading conditions. Based on preliminary stress analysis of the shaft, it must have at least a 50-mm outside diameter. It is desired to use a bearing that will have a life of 3000 hours with 99% reliability. Select the smallest acceptable bearing (bore) from Table 11.5.
Given ( dbore )min ≥ 50 mm , Fr = 1800 N , Fa = 1460 N , n = 900 rpm , and R = 99% , the design life is Ld = (3000 hr )(900 rev/min )( 60 min/hr ) = 1.62 ×108 rev
Moderate shock exists and a single-row ball bearing is to be selected. From (11-3) Pe = X d Fr + Yd Fa
From Table 11.4; X d1 = 1.0 , Yd1 = 0 and X d2 = 0.55 , Yd2 = 1.45 . Therefore ( Pe )1 = 1.0(1800) + 0(1460) = 1800 N ( Pe )2 = 0.55(1800) + 1.45(1460) = 3107 N
Since ( Pe )2 > ( Pe )1 , Pe = ( Pe )2 = 3107 N . The radial load rating is
1/ 3 ⎡ ⎤ Ld ⎡⎣Cd ( 99 )⎤⎦ =⎢ ⎥ ( IF ) Pe req ⎣⎢ R ( ) ⎢ K 106 ⎥ ⎦⎥
From Tables 11.2 and 11.3: KR = 0.21 and IF = 1.4 . Therefore
From Table 11.5, the smallest acceptable bearing with ( dbore )min ≥ 50 mm a #6310, where the limiting speed is acceptable (6300 – 7500 rpm). Checking static load
Pes = X s Fsr + Ys Fsa
From Table 11.4; X s1 = 1.0 , Ys1 = 0 and X s2 = 0.60 , Ys2 = 0.50 . Therefore ( Pse )1 = 1.0(1800) + 0(1460) = 1800 N ( Pse )2 = 0.60(1800) + 0.50(1460) = 1810 N
Since ( Pse )2 > ( Pse )1 , Pse = ( Pse )2 = 1810 N . From Table 11.5, Cs = 38 kN for a #6310 bearing
