How to obtain Axial Load Capacity from Tapered Roller Bearings Catalog

AI Thread Summary
Selecting a tapered roller bearing (TRB) for an actuator requires understanding both axial and radial loads, but manufacturers primarily provide dynamic and static load ratings. The discussion highlights confusion over whether to use the dynamic load rating as an equivalent load for axial capacity. Additionally, the advantages of back-to-back (DB) versus face-to-face (DF) configurations in axial load capacity are debated, with calculations showing minimal differences in equivalent load and bearing life. Despite literature suggesting DB offers superior axial load capacity and rigidity, the close positioning of bearings raises questions about the practical benefits in specific applications. Ultimately, the choice between configurations may depend on the specific load conditions and design requirements.

Hello there,

I'm trying to select a tapered roller bearing (TRB) for my actuator, I know the peak axial force that is going to come. I have some radial load as well.
I want to select the TRB based on the axial load, but all the bearing catalogs or most of them give Dynamic and static Load Ratings.

Do I have to consider the given(from the bearing manufacturers) dynamic load rating as equivalent load and use it?
Thank you in Advance.

All bearing manufacturers usually explain how to select bearing size and give all the needed info.

You got the basic info very well-presented here. But SKF shows a more in-depth presentation of the same info here.

Thank you, it's really well shown here. Yes, some bearing manufacturers have more in-depth, and its confusing sometimes which to consider.

Hi I have gone through many literature now. and yet i'm unable to figure out why the Back to Back Tapered roller Bearing arrangement is better in axial load capacity. How to justify with numbers when compared to face to face configuration

I calculated the loads on points A and B, Keeping the bearings the same in back-to-back (DB) and face-to-face (DF), L2 for back-to-back is 4-5 times that of face-to-face, i.e. 50 mm for DB and 10mm for DF. After the calculations for Equivalent load and bearing life, both have not changed much. there is a slight reduction in Equivalent load and Bearing for the DF. If the difference is so less, then can I not use DF instead of DB ?
But all the textbooks and literature says DB has more axial load capacity and rigidity. I agree with rigidity because of L2, but in my case, since the bearings are very close that I am unable to figure out which is a better configuration.
In my case, the Axial load is higher, and the radial load is minimal.? Any thoughts would be welcome
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
