What is a Bearing ?
A bearing is a mechanical element that
permits relative motion between two
parts, such as the shaft and the
housing, with minimum friction. The
functions of bearing are-
2) Depending upon the type of friction between the shaft and the bearing surface-
• Sliding Contact Bearing where the shaft slides over the surface of the
bush resulting in friction and wear which can be reduced by a film of
lubricating oil.
• Rolling Contact Bearing where rolling elements, such as balls or rollers
are introduced between the surfaces that are in relative motion.
Types of Rolling Contact Bearing
1) Ball Bearings:
Cylindrical Roller
Spherical Roller
3) Thrust Bearings:
Self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings are used in applications
where a misalignment between the axes of the shaft and housing is likely to exist.
Thrust ball bearings are used for medium thrust loads whereas for heavy thrust
loads, cylindrical roller thrust bearings are used.
Deep groove ball bearings, angular contact bearings and spherical roller bearings
are used in applications where the load acting on the bearing has two components-
radial and thrust.
Static Load Carrying Capacity of a bearing is defined as
the static load which corresponds to a total permanent
deformation of balls and races, at the most heavily stressed
point of contact, equal to 0.0001 of the ball diameter.
P=XVF(r) + YF(a)
where,
P= equivalent dynamic load(N)
F(r)= radial load(N)
F(a)= axial or thrust load(N)
V= race-rotation factor
X & Y are radial and thrust factors respectively.
Load-Life Relationship
The relationship between the dynamic load carrying capacity, the
equivalent dynamic load and the bearing life is given by,
