Question for GATE Past Year Questions: Bearings
Try yourself:A lightly loaded full Journal bearing has Journal diameter of 50 mm, bush bore of 50.05 mm and bush length of 20 mm. If rotational speed of Journal is 1200 rpm and average viscosity of liquid lubricant is 0.03 Pa s, the power loss (in W) will be
[2010]
Explanation
Given: dj = 50 m m = 0.05 m
dB = 50.05 = 0.05005 m
lB = 20 mm = 0.02 m
N = 1200 rpm
μ = 0.03 Pa– sec
Frictional factor, f = Shear stress x Area

Question for GATE Past Year Questions: Bearings
Try yourself:A Journal bearing has a shaft diameter of 40 mm and a length of 40 mm. The shaft is rotating at 20 rad/s and the viscosity of the lubricant is 20 mPa.s. The clearance is 0.020 mm. The loss of torque due to the viscosity of the lubricant is approximately
[2008]
Explanation
= 400 N/m2.
Force = dA = 400 × 3.14 × .04 × .04
Torque = Force × .02
= .040 N-m

Question for GATE Past Year Questions: Bearings
Try yourself:The dynamic load capacity of 6306 bearing is 22 kN. The maximum radial load it can sustain to operate at 600 rev/min, for 2000 hours is
[1997]
Explanation
Number of revolutions in life = 2000 × 60 × 600
= 72 × 105 revolutions
∴ L = 72
Maximum radial load =
= 5.29 kN
