ABC Engineering Corp is interested in creating a prototype for remotely delivering supplies to offshore oil rigs in the North Sea using a mediumsized robotic craft. A subsystem in the craft has a shaft that rotates at rpm and the design problem now is selecting a rollingcontact bearing for the shaft.
Raul, an engineering intern in the team, plans on using a deepgroove ball bearing to support kN of radial load which he thinks will provide a life of hours at reliability.
His supervisor, Jodie thinks that using the more expensive cylindrical roller bearing to last hours of service at reliability will increase its radial load carrying capacity from kN to kN which will let them increase the payload on the cract.
All such bearings are rated for revs. You are brought on as a product design consultant. Provide an analysis proving or disproving either or both statements.
