Equivalent Dynamic Load Formula:
From: | To: |
The Equivalent Dynamic Load on spherical roller bearing is the net amount of dynamic load acting on a spherical bearing when the ratio of axial to radial load (Fa/Fr) is greater than the eccentricity factor e.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the equivalent dynamic load that would produce the same bearing life as the combined radial and axial loads actually applied.
Details: Accurate calculation of equivalent dynamic load is crucial for proper bearing selection, predicting bearing life, and ensuring reliable operation of rotating machinery.
Tips: Enter radial load in Newtons, Factor Y2 value, and axial load in Newtons. All values must be non-negative.
Q1: When should this formula be used?
A: This formula is specifically used when the ratio of axial to radial load (Fa/Fr) is greater than the eccentricity factor e for spherical roller bearings.
Q2: What is Factor Y2?
A: Factor Y2 is a bearing-specific coefficient that accounts for the effect of axial loads on the equivalent dynamic load calculation.
Q3: How does this differ from other bearing load calculations?
A: Different bearing types and load conditions require different formulas. This specific formula applies to spherical roller bearings under the condition that Fa/Fr > e.
Q4: What are typical values for Factor Y2?
A: Factor Y2 values vary by bearing design and size. Consult the bearing manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate Y2 value.
Q5: Why is 0.67 used as the coefficient for radial load?
A: The 0.67 coefficient is derived from empirical testing and represents the relative effect of radial loads on spherical roller bearing life calculation.
