Introduction
• When the ball or roller of rolling-contact bearings rolls,
contact stresses occur on the inner ring, the rolling element,
and on the outer ring.

• A catalog load rating is defined as the radial load that
causes 10 percent of a group of bearing to fail at the
bearing manufacturer’s rating life.

Reliability Versus Life
Introduction
• If the life measure is expressed in dimensionless form as x
= L /L10, then the reliability can be expressed as
Types of
Bearings
Where, R = reliability
x = life measure dimensionless variate, L/L10
Bearing x0 = guaranteed, or “minimum,’’ value of the variate
Selection θ = characteristic parameter corresponding to the
63.2121 percentile value of the variate
b = shape parameter that controls the skewness

Relating Load, Life, and Reliability
• The desired load is not the manufacturer’s test load or catalog entry. The
desired speed is different from the vendor’s test speed, and the reliability
expectation is typically much higher than the 0.90 accompanying the
catalog entry.
• For example, the catalog information is plotted as point A, and the design
point is at D, the designer must move from point D to point A via point B.
• Shafts generally have two different bearings. If the bearing reliability of the shaft
with its pair of bearings is to be R, then R is related to the individual bearing
reliabilities RA and RB by

Mounting and Enclosure
Introduction • A very common solution is that the inner rings are backed
up against the shaft shoulders and are held in position by
round nuts threaded onto the shaft. Alternatively, the inner

Mounting and Enclosure
Introduction
• It is frequently necessary to use two or more bearings at
one end of a shaft to obtain additional rigidity or increased
load capacity or to cantilever a shaft.
