At the bearing supports B and D, the rolling bearings sustain radial and axial loads as
calculated in Question 4a. These bearings are designed for a lifetime of 𝐻 = 3500 hours.
The shaft speed is derived from Question 2a, and the diameter of the shaft journals at the
bearing locations is determined in Question 4c. Given 𝐾𝜎 = 1 and 𝐾𝑡 = 1, calculate:
(a) The radial loads acting on bearings B and D.
(b) The bearing lifetime (in million revolutions) and the equivalent dynamic load 𝑄 (in kN).
(c) Select a standard bearing and determine its actual lifetime.
Bearing specifications table:
The radial loads are calculated using the support reaction forces from Question 4a :
• Radial load on bearing 𝐵:
2 2
𝐹𝑟𝐵 = √𝑅𝐵𝑥 + 𝑅𝐵𝑦 = √2963.7932 + 1945.5692
𝐹𝑟𝐵 = 3545.322 N
• Radial load on bearing 𝐷:
2 2
𝐹𝑟𝐷 = √𝑅𝐷𝑥 + 𝑅𝐷𝑦 = √2963.7932 + 1727.4782
𝐹𝑟𝐷 = 3430.488 N
Since 𝐹𝑟𝐵 > 𝐹𝑟𝐷 , the design will focus on 𝐹𝑟𝐵 .
(b) Bearing Lifetime and Equivalent Dynamic Load:
Substitute values:
𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑞 = 3.558 ⋅ 121.81/3 = 17.637 kN
From the table, select bearing 207 with 𝐶 = 20.1 kN, which satisfies 𝐶 ≥ 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑞 .
Actual Lifetime:
𝐶 𝑚
𝐿𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 =( )
𝑄
Where 𝑚 = 3:
20.1 3
𝐿𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 =( ) = 180.277 million revolutions
3.558
Lifetime in hours:
106 ⋅ 𝐿𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙
𝐿=
60 ⋅ 𝑛
Substitute values:
106 ⋅ 180.277
𝐿= = 5180.373 hours
60 ⋅ 580
Question 4 (Shaft calculation)
Given:
The system contains Shaft I with forces acting due to a belt drive mechanism.
Calculate:
1. Reactions at the supports 𝐵 and 𝐷 due to radial force 𝐹𝑟𝑑 = 2147.787 𝑁.
2. Draw the bending moment diagrams for 𝑀𝑥 , 𝑀𝑦 , and the torsion diagram 𝑇,
annotating their values.
3. Compute the equivalent moment and determine the critical shaft diameter at the most
hazardous section.
Solution
1. Moment at Gear 1:
𝑑𝑚1 50
𝑀𝑎1 = 𝐹𝑎1 ⋅ = 964.85 ⋅ = 24,121 Nmm
2 2
2. Sum of Moments about 𝐵 in the 𝑦𝑂𝑧 plane:
𝛴𝑀𝑥 /𝐵 = 𝐹𝑟1 ⋅ 125 − 𝑀𝑎1 + 𝐹𝑟𝑑 ⋅ 100 − 𝑅𝐷𝑦 ⋅ 250 = 0
1929.7 ⋅ 125 − 24,121 + 2147.787 ⋅ 100
𝑅𝐷𝑦 = = 1727.478 N
250
3. Sum of Forces in the 𝑦-direction:
𝛴𝐹𝑌 = 𝐹𝑟𝑑 − 𝐹𝑟1 − 𝑅𝐵𝑦 + 𝑅𝐷𝑦 = 0
o 𝑀𝑥 : 240.055 Nm
o 𝑀𝑦 : 370.474 Nm
o 𝑇: 148.190 Nm
(c) Critical Diameter and Shaft Design:
1. Equivalent Moment:
𝑀𝑒𝑞 ⋅ 32 ⋅ 103
𝑑≥√
𝜋 ⋅ [𝜎]
or
𝑀𝑒𝑞 . 103
𝑑≥√
0.1 ⋅ [𝜎]
Substituting values of equivalent moment and the allowable stress of shaft material [𝜎] = 80 MPa,
we have:
459.726 ⋅ 32 ⋅ 103
𝑑≥√ ≈ 37.936 mm
𝜋 ⋅ 80
