Question: A gear reduction unit has input shaft AB and output shaft CD with an input torque of Ti = 2 0 0 lfin at constant

A gear reduction unit has input shaft AB and output shaft CD with
an input torque of Ti =200 lfin at constant speed of 600 rev/min driving
an output load torque To at output speed wo. Shaft AB (shown separately
with dimensions) is supported by deep-groove ball bearings at A and B,
which can be treated as simple supports. The pitch radii of the gears are
r1=1.0 in and r2=2.5 in. The pressure angle for the spur gears is 20
degrees as shown. The targeted combined reliability for the entire set of
four bearings is 92 percent for a life of 30000 hours of operation.
a. Determine the target reliability for each individual bearing
b. Determine the radial force to be carried by the bearing A
c. Determine the load rating with which to select a bearing from a catalog that
rates bearings from an L10 life of 1 million cycles.
