● Bearing Load Calculation
4.3 Mean load
The load on bearings used in machines under
normal circumstances will, in many cases,
fluctuate according to a fixed time period
or planned operation schedule. The load on
bearings operating under such conditions
can be converted to a mean load (Fm). This
is a load which gives bearings the same life
they would have under constant operating
conditions.
(1) Fluctuating stepped load (see Fig. 4.11)
The mean bearing load, Fm, for stepped loads
is calculated from formula (4.23). F1, F2 ..... Fn
are the loads acting on the bearing; n 1, n 2 .....
n n and t 1, t 2 ..... t n are the bearing speeds and
operating times respectively.
