Q.1 A ball bearing is operating on a work cycle consisting of three parts-a radial load of 3000 Nat 1440 rpm
for one quarter cycle, a radial load of 5000 Nat 720 rpm for one half cycle, and radial load of 2500N at 1440
rpm for the remaining cycle. The expected life of the bearing is 10 000 h. Calculate the dynamic load carrying
capacity of the bearing.
Q.2 A ball bearing with a dynamic load capacity of 22.8 kN is subjected to a radial load of
10 kN. Calculate
i) the expected life in million revolutions that 90% of the bearings will reach;
(ii) the corresponding life in hours, if the shaft is rotating at 1450 rpm; and
(iii) the life that 50% of the bearings will complete or exceed before fatigue failure.
Q.3 A cylindrical roller bearing with bore diameter of 40 mm is subjected to a radial force of 25 kN. The
coefficient of friction is 0.00 12 and the speed of rotation is 1440 rpm. Calculate the power lost in friction.
Q.4 A ball bearing is subjected to a radial force of 2500 N and an axial force of 1000 N. The dynamic load
carrying capacity of the bearing is 7350 N. The values of X and Y factors are 0.56 and 1.6 respectively. The
shaft is rotating at 720 rpm. Calculate the life of the bearing.
Q.5 A transmission shaft rotating at 720 rpm and transmitting power from the pulley P
to the spur gear G is shown in Fig. The belt tensions and the gear tooth forces are as follows: P1 = 498N P2
=166N P1 =497N P, = 181N The weight of the pulley is 100 N. The diameter of the shaft at bearings B 1 and B
2 is 10 mm and 20 mm respectively. The load factor is 2.5 and the expected life for 90% of the bearings is
8000 h. Select single row deep groove ball bearings at B 1 and B 2.
