The axial thrust load calculation determines the amount of thrust load acting axially on a spherical roller bearing when the ratio of axial to radial load (Fa/Fr) is greater than the eccentricity factor (e). This is crucial for proper bearing selection and performance analysis.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the axial thrust load by subtracting a portion of the radial load (67%) from the equivalent dynamic load and dividing by the bearing's Y2 factor.
Details: Accurate axial thrust load calculation is essential for proper bearing selection, ensuring optimal performance, preventing premature failure, and maintaining system reliability in mechanical applications.
Tips: Enter equivalent dynamic load in Newtons, radial load in Newtons, and the Y2 factor of the bearing. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: When is this calculation applicable?
A: This calculation is specifically used when the ratio of axial to radial load (Fa/Fr) is greater than the eccentricity factor (e) of the bearing.
Q2: What is Factor Y2 in bearing calculations?
A: Factor Y2 is a bearing-specific constant used in the calculation of equivalent dynamic load for bearings, representing the bearing's axial load capacity.
Q3: Why is 67% of radial load subtracted?
A: The 0.67 factor accounts for the portion of radial load that contributes to the equivalent dynamic load calculation in this specific scenario.
Q4: What are typical Y2 values for spherical roller bearings?
A: Y2 values typically range from 1.8 to 3.5 depending on the specific bearing design and manufacturer specifications.
Q5: How does this affect bearing life calculation?
A: Accurate axial load calculation directly impacts the equivalent dynamic load, which is used to calculate bearing life using the L10 life formula.
