Fq=260 kN Mq=770 kN

Selected Static Load Diagram. Bearing No.062.25.1255.500.11.1503

Foq=150.1 8 kN Moq=542.5 kN

The load case Foq and Moq is plotted on the static load capacity diagram. The line from the zero point of the diagram through the given load case intersects the curve of the bearing at point Fq and Mq. Using the formula Fq fL = -------Foq Mq = ---------Moq

fL = 260/150.18 = 1.7 (Axial load capacity) fL = 770/542 = 1.42 (Tilting moment load capacity) Average of load factor (fL) - 1.56

Calculation of service life in revolutions (G) = fL^p * 30 000

Where

p = 3 for ball bearing,

10/3 for cylidrical roller bearing.

G = 1.56^3 * 30000 = 1 13 892 revolutions

If swing revolutions 12.7 (rpm) is considered, then bearing life is calculated in hours. G = 113892/12.7 = 8 968 hours
