Answer Answer Answer Answer Foling Contec Bearings | 603 (b) Bearing B experiences no load, and the cheapest bearing of this bore size will do, including a ball or roller beating, (©) The actual reliability of bearing A, from Eq. (11-21), is Ra aa - {aaremiecrar} _ 6.333 4.48 [17 200/( x 8000) 7° sn }° = 098 ‘which is greater than 0.95, as one would expect. For bearing B, Fp =Fn=0 6.333 a ®=1-[aarasomee) ~!-°= as one would expect. The combined reliability of bearings A and B as a pair is R= R4Rz = 0.963(1) = 0.963 which is greater than the reliability goal of 0.95, as one would expect. Matters of Fit Table 11-2 (and Fig. 11-8), which shows the rating of single-row, 02-series, deep- groove and angular-contact ball bearings, includes shoulder diameters recommended for the shaft seat of the inner ring and the shoulder diameter of the outer ring, denoted ds and dry, respectively. The shaft shoulder can be greater than ds but not enough to obstruct the annulus. It is important to maintain concentricity and perpendicularity with the shaft centerline, and to that end the shoulder diameter should equal or exceed ds. The housing shoulder diameter dy, is to be equal to or less than dyy to maintain concentricity and perpendiculatity with the housing bore axis. Neither the shaft shoul- der nor the housing shoulder features should allow interference with the free move- ‘ment of lubricant through the bearing annulus. In a tapered roller bearing (Fig, 11-15), the cup housing shoulder diameter should. bbe equal to or less than Ds. The shaft shoulder for the cone should be equal to or ‘greater than dy. Additionally, free lubricant flow is not to be impeded by obstructing ‘any of the annulus, In splash lubrication, common in speed reducers, the lubricant is thrown to the housing cover (ceiling) and is directed in its draining by ribs to a bear- ing. In direct mounting, a tapered roller bearing pumps oil from outboard to inboard, ‘An oil passageway to the outboard side of the bearing needs to be provided. The oil returns to the sump as a consequence of bearing pump action, With an indirect mount, the oil is directed to the inboard annulus, the bearing pumping it to the outboard side An oil passage from the outboard side to the sump has to be provided. Lubrication ‘The contacting surfaces in rolling bearings have a relative motion that is both rolling and sliding, and so it is difficult to understand exactly what happens. If the relative velocity of the sliding surfaces is high enough, then the lubricant action is
