1.- Select a single-row deep groove ball bearing, for
support 650 lb of pure radial load, from a shaft that rotates at 600 rpm and is
part of a blower in a manufacturing plant. The bearing will be
mounted on a shaft whose minimum acceptable diameter is 1.48 in.
Solution:
It is a pure radial load and the inner track will be mounted on the axis.
pressure, and it will turn with it.
a) Design Load of the Bearing =
Where:
PdDesign load [lb].
R = Radial load [lb].
V = Rotation factor
If the inner race of the bearing rotates: V = 1.0
If the outer race of the bearing rotates: V = 1.2
= (1(650)
) 650 lbs
b) Nominal Duration of the Bearing: We use Table 4
10= 30 000 h
We take the higher range to have a longer duration.
c) Bearing Design Duration: =( 10 ) (60) ( )

We make use of Figure 1:

= ( ) C = 650(0.381 ) 6654 lb
We can see that it is a value quite close to that obtained with the
Numerical Method.
e) Probable Bearings: We use Table 3
With a Dynamic Load Capacity of C = 6670 lb, we have two
possible bearings:
The minimum acceptable diameter of the axis to be used is 1.48 in.
The bore (inner diameters) of the possible bearings are:
- Bearing 6211 has a bore of 55 mm = 2.1654 in.
Bearing 6308 has a bore of 40 mm = 1.5748 in.
f) Selection of Bearings:
Due to proximity to the diameter to be used, we selected the bearing:
