Self Aligning Bearing
In many applications, the bearing is required to tolerate a small amount of
misalignment between the axes of the shaft and the bearing. The misalignment
may be due to deflection of the shaft under load or due to tolerances of
individual components.

When the shaft is deflected under the load, it exerts pressure at the edges of
the bearing The edge pressure is dangerous and may result in undue wear and
breakdown of the oil film. In self-aligning bearing, the external surface of the
bearing bush is made spherical The centre of this spherical surface is at the
centre of the bearing. Therefore, the bush is free to roll in its seat and align
itself with the journal. Arrangement is made to provide lubricant between the
spherical surfaces of the bush and its seat in order to reduce the friction. This
principle is used in self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings.

Engineering
Static Load Carrying Capacity
Static load is defined as the load acting on the bearing when the shaft is
stationary.
The static load carrying capacity of a bearing is defined as the static load
which corresponds to a total permanent deformation of balls and races, at
the most heavily stressed point of contact, equal to 0.0001 of the ball
diameter.

Engineering
Stribeck’s Equation
Assumptions of Stribeck Equation:
• The races are rigid and retain their circular shape.
• The balls are equally spaced.
• The balls in the upper half do not support any load.

If z is the number of balls,

Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity
• Life of a Bearing -The life of an individual ball bearing is defi ned as the number of revolutions
(or hours of service at some given constant speed), which the bearing runs before the first
evidence of fatigue crack in balls or races. Bearings are rated on one of the two criteria—the
average life of a group of bearings or the life, which 90% of the bearings will reach or exceed.
• Rated Life - The rating life of a group of apparently identical ball bearings is defined as the
number of revolutions that 90% of the bearings will complete or exceed before the first
evidence of fatigue crack. It is also called minimum life, catalogue life, L10 life or B10 life.
• Dynamic Load - The dynamic load carrying capacity of a bearing is defined as the radial load
in radial bearings (or thrust load in thrust bearings) that can be carried for a minimum life of
one million revolutions.
• Equivalent Load – The equivalent dynamic load is defined as the constant radial load in radial
bearings (or thrust load in thrust bearings), which if applied to the bearing would give same
life as that which the bearing will attain under actual condition of forces.

Where,
P = equivalent dynamic load (N)
Fr = radial load (N)
Fa = axial or thrust load (N)
V = race-rotation factor.V=1 when inner race rotates
= 1.2 when outer race rotates
X and Y are radial and thrust factors

Load-Life Relationship
The relationship between the dynamic load carrying capacity, the equivalent dynamic
load, and the bearing life is given by,

where,
L10 = rated bearing life (in million revolutions)
C = dynamic load capacity (N), and
p = 3 (for ball bearings)
p = 10/3 (for roller bearings)

The relationship between life in million revolutions and life in working hours is given by

where,
L10h = rated bearing life (hours)
n = speed of rotation (rpm)

Design Procedure for Rolling Contact
Bearing
• Find if the diameter, radial and axial forces are given in the question. Else find it.
• Find the values of X and Y, the radial and thrust factors, from the catalogue. If it
Fa/Co and Fa/Fr both are available. Else assume an avg value for Y
• Find equivalent load, P= XVFr+YFa and Dynamic load C using, L10 = (C/P)
• Go to chart and with the diameter and C value find the Designation of the
bearing.
• NOW IN STEP 2, IF YOU FOUND A REAL VALUE OF Y THEN THE PROBLEM ENDS
HERE> BUT IF YOU HAVE ASSUMED AN AVG VALUE OF Y, THEN FOLLOW THE
FOLLOWING STEPS
• Corresponding to the Designation of the bearing, find the value of Co given in
the chart. Now find Fa/Co and Fa/Fr and again find X and Y. IF the value of Fa/Co
is not there on the chart the find the range in between which it lies and then find
Y by interpolation method.
y-y1/y2-y1 = x-x1/x2-x1
• Find equivalent P again and subsequently follow all steps from Step 3 and 4.
• Finally check if the Designation of Bearing first decided and Now found are same
or not.

Engineering
Assignment
• A single-row deep groove ball bearing is subjected to a radial force of 8
kN and a thrust force of 3 kN. The shaft rotates at 1200 rpm. The
expected life L10h of the bearing is 20 000 h. The minimum acceptable
diameter of the shaft is 75 mm. Select a suitable ball bearing for this
application.
