ABC Engineering Corp is interested in creating a prototype for remotely delivering supplies to offshore oil rigs in the North Sea using a medium-sized robotic craft. A subsystem in the craft has a shaft that rotates at 1860 rpm and the design problem now is selecting a rolling-contact bearing for the shaft.
(1) Raul, an engineering intern in the team, plans on using a 02-50 deep-groove ball bearing to support 2 kN of radial load which he thinks will provide a life of 20,000 hours at 99% reliability.
(2) His supervisor, Jodie thinks that using the more expensive 03-50 cylindrical roller bearing to last 20,000 hours of service at 99% reliability will increase its radial load carrying capacity from 2 kN to 8 kN which will let them increase the payload on the cract.
All such bearings are rated for L10=106 revs. You are brought on as a product design consultant. Provide an analysis proving or disproving either or both statements.
