Using Eq. (11-21) for bearing A, where from Ex. 11-8, Fp = F.a = 4938 N, and ay = 1, gives Rel- { 261 8S" 1 5a8T2 100/01 x 453 va JP =a990701 which is less than 0.995, as expected. Using Eq.

When two bearings are made identical for simplicity, or reducing the number of spares, or other stipulation, and the loading is not the same, both can be made smaller and still meet a reliability goal. If the loading is disparate, then the more heavily loaded bearing can be chosen for a reliability goal just slightly larger than the overall goal. An additional example is useful to show what happens in cases of pure thrust loading,
