Q1. An 02-series single-row deep-groove ball bearing with a 50 mm bore and a rotating
outer ring is subjected to the following piecewise continuous loading cycle. (L10 = 106 )
Time Fraction Speed (rpm) Fradial (kN) Faxial (kN) Load-application factor
0.2 1500 7 2 1.1
0.3 2500 8 3 1.2
0.5 2000 6 1 1.3
(a) Determine the steady radial load that will do as much damage as the given load
cycle.
(b) Estimate the life of the bearing in number of revolutions with 90% reliability.
Solution: For a 50 mm bore 02-series single-row deep-groove ball bearing, C0 = 19.6 kN 0.5 M
and C10 = 35.1 (kN). As the outer ring is rotating, V = 1.2. 0.5 M
