Problem # ptsopen ended
The figure below shows a spindle used in small lathe machines, the drive shaft is mounted using
two similar tapered roller bearings with cup and cone part# The spindle is belt driven, the
tension in the belt creates lateral force in the ve y direction of as indicated in the figure. At
the chuck side, the design allows maximum machining loads of; feed force Fx N Radial
load and cutting force Assuming these loads are acting at the center of
chunk at point
a Draw FBD of the drive shaft, and determine all bearing reaction forces with exact
locations with respect to given datum.
b Predict the minimum life of the bearings in hours if you know that the machine operates
at speed of rpm with moderate impact load "use as application factor"
considering probability of failure of the bearing set.
