Radial load acting on bearing is the amount of load onto the bearing acting radially. This calculation is specifically for spherical roller bearings when the ratio of axial load to radial load (Fa/Fr) is less than or equal to the eccentricity factor e.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the radial load component by subtracting the axial load component (adjusted by factor Y1) from the equivalent dynamic load on the spherical bearing.
Details: Accurate radial load calculation is crucial for proper bearing selection, determining bearing life expectancy, and ensuring optimal performance in mechanical systems.
Tips: Enter equivalent dynamic load in Newtons, factor Y1 value, and axial load in Newtons. All values must be valid positive numbers.
Q1: When is this formula applicable?
A: This formula is specifically applicable when the ratio of axial load to radial load (Fa/Fr) is less than or equal to the eccentricity factor e for spherical roller bearings.
Q2: What is factor Y1 in bearing calculations?
A: Factor Y1 is a bearing-specific coefficient used in the calculation of equivalent dynamic load for bearings, representing the axial load capacity factor.
Q3: How does radial load affect bearing life?
A: Radial load directly impacts bearing fatigue life. Higher radial loads typically result in shorter bearing life, making accurate calculation essential for proper system design.
Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: This calculation is specifically for spherical roller bearings and applies only when Fa/Fr ≤ e. Different formulas are needed for other bearing types or when Fa/Fr > e.
Q5: How is equivalent dynamic load determined?
A: Equivalent dynamic load is calculated based on the actual radial and axial loads acting on the bearing, using specific formulas that vary by bearing type and application conditions.
