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.
