Fa10300 writing the bearing specification basic rating life, l10 is a useful tool when specifying a given level of bearing construction. Bearing calculation when selecting an axlebox bearing or unit, skf should be contacted for assistance with necessary calculations. Rolling bearing according to din iso 281 5 speci cation of bearing load enter the values for the bearing load now. However, if a more specific estimation is desired, the life of a bearing can be calculated by the following formula. Values for the bearing load in kn bearing selection. Calculation example rolling bearings according to to din. For extremely high load carrying capacity in a limited envelope, spherical bearings with both ball and swaged outer race made of heattreated maraging steel of 300ksi tensile strength are sometimes used, and can be formed by a special processing.
In many cases involving bearing selection during the initial design of a machine, obtaining a satisfactory rating life is the prime consideration. Skf can provide a portfolio of different calculation methods to optimize bearing selection for. To order the catalog, please contact your timken engineer and request a copy of the timken engineering manual, order number 10424. Basic load ratings are used to assess bearing capacity of technical indicators, basic load rating includes the basic dynamic load rating and the basic static load rating. Roller bearings exhibit less elastic deformation than ball bearings. Typically, ball bearings are usually specified on applications with lighter loads but have a higher speed capacity. All calculations to determine the load carrying capacities of the craft split bearing are based on and in accordance with abma and international organization for standardization iso standards.
Selection of bearing size failure probability rating life average life life fig. When selecting bearings for new machines, unusual operating conditions, or harsh environments, please consult with nsk. Globus, gmns ball bearing calculation program, allows for computeraided calculation and the selection from a broad product range in consideration of the life expectancy of various possible solutions. Selection of bearing size failure probability rating life average. Tthe slewing ring, being the link between a mobile element and a fixed base, must have a capacity to transmit the stresses of the mobile part towards the base. This being the reason a gearbox is widely used and a common piece of equipment through heavy industry driving conveyors, mills. Size of the bearing that will be used in a particular solution is at first selected basing on. Calculation of a planet support with cylindrical roller bearings a helical planet is supported by four cylindrical roller bearings. The load on bearings operating under such conditions can be converted to a mean load fm, this is a load which gives. In addition, the bearing life alone should not be the deciding factor in the selection of bearings. The importance of bearing selection on gearbox performance.
If the bearing load p and speed n are known, determine a fatigue life factor fh appropriate for the projected life of the machine and then calculate the basic load. It has been revised with our customers in mind, and we hope it fills your needs. The spherical plain bearing service life g is expressed in the total number of rocking motions until it becomes impossible for the bearing to perform normal operation due to the increase in the radial clearance or in the temperature of the bearing as a result of wear on the spherical sliding section.
