[Example 3] Calculation of the αISO factor with the conditions in Example 2

(Conditions)
Oil lubrication (Oil that has been filtered by a fine filter)
Operating temperature 70℃
96% reliability

④Lubricating oil selection

From the bearing specification table, the pitch diameter Dpw = (40 + 90)/2 = 65 is obtained.
dmn = 65 × 800 = 52 000. Therefore, select VG 68 from Table 12-8, Proper kinematic viscosities by bearing operating conditions.

⑤Calculating the αISO factor

The operating temperature is 70 °C, so according to Fig. 12-3, Relationship between lubricating oil viscosity and temperature (viscosity index :100), the viscosity when operating is ν = 20 mm2/s
According to Fig. A, ν1 = 21.7 mm2
κν / ν1 = 20/21.7 = 0.92
The oil has been filtered by a fine filter, so Table 5-4 shows ec is 0.5 to 0.6.
To stringently estimate the value, ec = 0.5.

a_47_001.png

Therefore, according to Fig. B
αISO = 7.7

⑥Service life with 96 % reliability (Lnm) is obtained using equation (5-8).
According to Table 5-3, α1 = 0.55.

L4mα1αISOL10 = 0.55× 7.7 ×50900≒ 216000 h

[Example 4] Bearing service life (total revolution)

(Conditions)
Tapered roller bearing
Bearing A:30207 JR
Bearing B:30209 JR
Radial load
FrA= 5200 N
FrB= 6800 N
Axial load Ka= 1600 N

a_48_001.png

①From the bearing specification table, the following specifications are obtained.

Basic dynamic load rating
Cr
eX1)Y1)
Bearing A 68.8 kN 0.37 0.4 1.60
Bearing B 83.9 kN 0.40 0.4 1.48

[Note] 1) Those values are used, where Fa/Fre.
Where Fa/Fre, X= 1,Y= 0.

②Axial load applied to shafts must be calculated, considering the fact that component force in the axial direction is generated when radial load is applied to tapered roller bearings.

(ref. equation 5-33, Table 5-9)

a_48_002.png

③Dynamic equivalent load (Pr) is obtained from Table 5-9.

④Each bearing service life (L10) is calculated using equation (5-1).

[Example 5] Bearing size selection

(Conditions)
Deep groove ball bearing : 62 series
Required service life : more than 10000 h
Radial load Fr= 2000 N
Axial load Fa= 300 N
Rotational speed n = 1600 min-1

a_48_005.png

①The dynamic equivalent load (Pr) is hypothetically calculated.

The resultant value, Fa / Fr = 300/2000 = 0.15, is smaller than any other values of e in the bearing specification table.
Hence, JTEKT can consider that PrFr = 2000 N.

②The required basic dynamic load rating (Cr) is calculated according to equation (5-4).

a_48_006.png

③Among those covered by the bearing specification table, the bearing of the 62 series with Cr exceeding 19730 N is 6205R, with bore diameter for 25 mm.

④The dynamic equivalent load obtained at step ① is confirmed by obtaining value e for 6205 R.

Where C0r of 6205 R is 9.3 kN, and ƒ0 is 12.8
ƒ0 Fa/C0r = 12.8 × 300/9300 = 0.413

Then, value e can be calculated using proportional interpolation.

a_48_007.png

As a result, it can be confirmed that
Fa / Fr = 0.15 < e.
Hence, PrFr.

[Example 6] Bearing size selection

(Conditions)
Deep groove ball bearing : 63 series
Required service life : more than 15 000 h
Radial load Fr = 4000 N
Axial load Fa= 2400 N
Rotational speed n = 1000 min-1

a_49_001.png

①The hypothetic dynamic equivalent load (Pr) is calculated :

Since Fa/Fr = 2400/4000 = 0.6 is much larger than the value e specified in the bearing specification table, it suggests that the axial load affects the dynamic equivalent load.
Hence, assuming that X = 0.56, Y = 1.6
(approximate mean value of Y), using equation (5-32),
PrXFrXFa = 0.56 × 4000 + 1.6 × 2400 = 6080 N

②Using equation (5-4), the required basic dynamic load rating (Cr) is :

a_49_002.png

③From the bearing specification table, a 6309 with a bore diameter of 45 mm is selected as a 63 series bearing with Cr exceeding 58700 N.

④The dynamic equivalent load and basic rating life are confirmed, by calculating the value e for a 6309.
Values obtained using the proportional interpolation are :

where ƒ0Fa/C0r = 13.3 × 2400/29500 = 1.082
e = 0.283, Y = 1.54.

Thus, Fa / Fr = 0.6 > e.
Using the resultant values, the dynamic equivalent load and basic rating life can be calculated as follows :

a_49_003.png

⑤The basic rating life of the 6308, using the same steps, is :
L10h ≒ 11500 h, which does not satisfy the service life requirement.

②Each coefficient used in equation (5-45).

From values listed in Table 5-11, coefficient ƒa related to intermittent load is : ƒa = 2
From values listed in Table 5-12, coefficient ƒb related to diameter series 3 is : ƒb = 1.0
According to Fig. 5-13, coefficient ƒp for allowable rib surface pressure, related to
dmn = 80 × 1500 = 12 × 104, is : ƒp = 0.062

③Using equation (5-45), the allowable axial load
Fap is :

Fap = 9.8 ƒaƒbƒpdm2 = 9.8 × 2 × 1.0 × 0.062 × 8027780 N

③The following specifications can be obtained from the bearing specification table.

Basic dynamic load rating
Cr
eX1)Y1)
Bearing A 183 kN 0.35 0.4 1.74
Bearing B 221 kN

[Note] 1) Those values are used, where Fa/Fre.
Where Fa/Fre, X = 1, Y = 0.

④When an axial load is not applied externally, if the radial load is applied to the tapered roller bearing, an axial component force is generated.
Considering this fact, the axial load applied from the shaft and peripheral parts is to be calculated :

(Equation 5-33, Table 5-9)

a_51_002.png

According to the result, it is clear that the axial component force (FrB/2YB) applied to bearing B is also applied to bearing A as an axial load applied from the shaft and peripheral parts.

⑤Using the values listed in Table 5-9, the dynamic equivalent load is calculated, where Ka = 0 :
