Questions and Answers

When calculating the bore size of a bearing, how should you proceed if the bore is a hexagonal shape?

  • Multiply the standard number by 5 to obtain the bore size in millimeters.
  • Measure the dimension across the flats. (correct)
  • Calculate the average value of the diagonal distances.
  • Use the smaller diameter for tapered bores.

    • What is the significance of the dynamic axial or thrust load in the context of bearing specifications?

  • It is the calculated constant axial load that a group of identical bearings can theoretically endure. (correct)
  • It represents the rated speed for a bearing with grease lubrication.
  • It is the constant radial load a bearing can handle without damage.
  • It refers to the overall width of a bearing or bearing assembly.

    • When considering the outside diameter of a bearing, what does it include or exclude?

  • It only refers to the smaller diameter in case of tapered bearings.
  • It always includes the locking collar.
  • It includes the housing if a housed unit, but excludes the flange if a flanged bearing. (correct)
  • It is calculated by multiplying the standard number by 5.

    Study Notes

    Machine Design Process

    • Begins with a need, problem, idea, or concept, and ends with concrete information in the form of drawings, computer representations, or other forms.
    • Generally follows a series of steps, including:
      • Clearly stating the problem to be solved or desired purpose of the machine.
      • Selecting possible mechanisms that provide the desired motion or set of motions.
      • Determining forces acting on and energy transmitted by each element of the machine.
      • Selecting the best suitable material for each machine element.
      • Determining allowable values of stress and deflection for each machine element.
      • Determining the size and shape of each machine element to withstand applied loads.
      • Modifying dimensions considering manufacturing aspects.
      • Creating assembly and detailed drawings with specifications of materials and manufacturing methods.

    Design Process Phases

    • Identification of a need and a decision to do something about it.
    • Iterations of design, analysis, and optimization until an adequate and optimum solution is obtained.
    • Evaluation of the design through prototype testing and review of reliability, competitiveness, economic viability, maintenance requirements, and profitability.
    • Presentation of the final design in a form that facilitates manufacturing and utilization.

    Design Considerations

    • Strength and stiffness are crucial factors in machine design.
    • Other considerations include:
      • Specifications of bearings, such as dimensions (bore, outside diameter, overall width) and operating specifications (rated speed, dynamic axial or thrust load, and dynamic radial load).

    Bearing Specifications

    • Dimensions:
      • Bore: standard number system, with metric diameter bores.
      • Outside diameter: includes the housing, but excludes the flange.
      • Overall width: includes the locking collar, if present.
    • Operating Specifications:
      • Rated speed: lower for grease lubrication than for oil lubrication.
      • Dynamic axial or thrust load: calculated constant axial load for a rating life of 1 million revolutions.
      • Dynamic radial load: calculated constant radial load for a rating life of 1 million revolutions.
