- How do I calculate bearing life with provided data?
I am a little confused on how to calculate the bearing rating and life for a gearbox in a mixer application. The only information that they are providing is the following, using a 1/4HP motor, 0.08 HP expected loading, a max torque of 87.2 in-lbs, 175.8 in-lbs bending max, and 632 psi expected bearing stress.
Wouldn't I need to know the run time(hours)? I feel that I am missing some information to help me set up the equations. Could someone please help me out. Thank you in advance.
