What Bearings Suit a Shaft with Varying Loads and Diameters?

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on selecting bearings for a shaft with varying loads of 425 N and 375 N at points A and B, respectively, and diameters of 15 mm and 20 mm. Key considerations include the shaft's RPM, axial forces, and the type of lubrication required. Standard deep groove ball bearings, particularly those with part numbers starting with 62xx, are recommended for their cost-effectiveness and availability. Resources such as NSK's online bearing selection catalogue and Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design are essential for further guidance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of load calculations for bearings
  • Familiarity with bearing types, specifically deep groove ball bearings
  • Knowledge of lubrication methods, including grease and Teflon bushings
  • Basic principles of axial forces and their impact on bearing selection
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications of NSK, SKF, and NTN bearing catalogues
  • Learn about the impact of RPM on bearing selection
  • Explore the characteristics of grease lubricated bronze and Teflon bushings
  • Study axial load considerations in bearing applications
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, design engineers, and anyone involved in selecting bearings for rotating shafts with varying loads and diameters.

I have to select bearings for the shaft using standard bearings catalogue depending on the calculated load.

In my shaft I calculate the loads and its 425 and 375 N in point A and B.

I should need to choose now what kind of bearings use and also using the diameter of the shaft that its dA=dB= 15 mm. and dC= 20 mm
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
All the large bearing manufacturers (eg NSK, SKF, NTN) have a huge amount of info on bearing selection. They are available online free, but you may need to make an account (also free).
For a more general introduction, I'd recommend Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design.
 
Welcome to PF.

The type and size of bearing used is decided by several things. If the shaft rotates continuously then the RPM will be an important specification. Big bearings carry high loads, but only at slower speeds. If the shaft rotates slowly only part of a turn, a grease lubricated bronze or a Teflon bushing might solve the problem.

It is also necessary to identify the axial forces on the shaft. Some bearings can handle end thrust while others cannot. Start looking at low cost commodity bearings such as standard deep groove ball bearings. Usually standardised part numbers 62xx.

Download the Rolling Bearings section from here.

It starts with technical selection data, then goes on to list deep groove ball bearings and many others.
 
Thank you all of you. I found what I need it in the nsk catalogue.
