________________

1. Find a set of identical ball bearings suitable for the application shown in the
figure on the right, having a desired life of 60000 hours when used at 400 rpm.
Use 1.0 for the application factor and a reliability goal for the bearing pair of
0.96. If an axial load of 50 lbf is added on gear A towards point O, choose a set
of bearings for the same life and reliability.
2. A full journal bearing has a journal diameter of 25 mm, with a unilateral
tolerance of −0.03 mm. The bushing bore has a diameter of 25.03 mm and a
unilateral tolerance of 0.04 mm. The l/d ratio is 1/2. The load is 1.2 kN and the
journal runs at 1100 rpm. If the average viscosity is 55 mPa-s, find the
minimum film thickness, the power loss, and the side flow for the minimum
clearance assembly.
