Sheet 3
Rolling bearing
1. A certain application requires a deep groove ball bearing with the inner ring rotating, with a design
life of 30000 hour at a speed of 300 rpm. The radial load is 1.898 kN and an application factor of
1.2 is appropriate. The reliability goal is 0.90. Find the catalog basic load rating C with which to
enter a bearing table.
2. An angular-contact, inner ring rotating, ball bearing is required for an application in which the life
requirement is 50000 h at 480 rpm. The design radial load is 2.7 kN. The application factor is 1.4.
The reliability goal is 0.95. Find the catalog basic load rating C with which to enter a bearing table.
3. A deep groove – single raw ball bearing is to be selected to carry a radial load of 8 kN and a thrust
load of 4 kN. The desired life LD is to be 5000 h with an inner-ring rotation rate of 900 rpm. What
is the basic load rating that should be used in selecting a bearing for a reliability goal of 0.90? If the
reliability goal is 0.90, what will be the basic load rating?
4. Shown in the figure is a gear-driven squeeze
roll which mates with an idler roll, below. The
roll is designed to exert a normal force of 5.25
N/mm of roll length and a pull of 4.2 N/mm on
the material being processed. The roll speed is
300 rpm, and a design life of 30000 h is
desired. Use an application factor of 1.2, and
select a pair of angular-contact ball bearings to
be mounted at 0 and A. Use the same size
bearings at both locations and a combined
reliability of at least 0.92.
5. The figure shown is a geared countershaft with an
overhanging pinion at C. Select an angular contact
ball bearing from Table 11–2 for mounting at O and a
straight roller bearing for mounting at B. The force on
gear A is F A = 2.65 kN and at gear C is F C = 6.36 kN.
The shaft runs at a speed of 480 rpm. Calculate the
reactions at bearing O and B. Specify the bearings
required, using an application factor of 1.4, a desired
life of 50000 h, and a reliability of 0.90.

6. The figure is a schematic drawing of a
countershaft that supports two V-belt pulleys.
The countershaft runs at 1200 rev/min and
the bearings are to have a life of 60 kh at a
combined reliability of 0.999. The belt
tension on the loose side of pulley A is 15
percent of the tension on the tight side. Select
equal diameter deep-groove bearings for use
at O and E. the bearing bore range is from 20
to 30 mm. use application factor equal unity.
7. The worm shaft shown in part a of the figure transmits 1 kW at 600 rpm. A static force analysis
gave the results shown in part b of the figure. Bearing A is to be an angular-contact ball bearing
mounted to take the 2470 N thrust load. The bearing at B is to take only the radial load, so a
straight roller bearing will be employed. Use an application factor of 1.3, a desired life of 25 kh,
and a reliability of 0.99. Specify each bearing.
