Minimum Load Formula (Simplified)
Ang minimum na radial load upang maiwasan ang skidding ay tinatantya bilang:
- kr — minimum load factor from the manufacturer’s product table (typically ≈ 0.025 for deep groove ball bearings; higher equivalent values for roller bearings — see table below)
- ν — kinematic viscosity sa operating temperature (mm²/s)
- n — bilis ng pag-ikot (RPM)
- dm — mean bearing diameter = (d + D) / 2 (mm)
- For grease lubrication this calculator additionally multiplies the result by a conservative factor of 1.5, since grease-lubricated bearings need a higher minimum load
Mean Diameter
Typical kr Values
| Bearing Type | kr |
|---|---|
| Deep groove ball bearing | ≈ 0.025 |
| Angular contact ball bearing | ≈ 0.03 |
| Cylindrical roller bearing | ≈ 0.25 |
| Tapered roller bearing | ≈ 0.25 |
| Spherical roller bearing | ≈ 0.3 |
Ball-bearing kr values are typical of manufacturer product tables (e.g. SKF lists kr per bearing, roughly 0.02–0.06 for deep groove ball bearings). For roller bearings manufacturers use dedicated minimum-load relations (e.g. Frm ≈ 0.02 × C0 or speed-based formulas); the roller factors above are approximate equivalents so that this simplified formula reproduces the same order of magnitude. Always check the exact value in the bearing product table.
Praktikal na Halimbawa
Given: d = 40 mm, D = 80 mm, n = 3000 RPM, ν = 20 mm²/s, kr = 0.025, oil lubrication
dm = (40 + 80) / 2 = 60 mm
Fmin = 0.025 × (20 × 3000 / 1000)2/3 × (60 / 100)²
= 0.025 × 15.33 × 0.36 = 0.14 kN (≈ 140 N)
Cross-check with the simple rule Fmin ≈ 0.01 × C0: for a 6208 bearing (C0 ≈ 17.8 kN) it gives ≈ 0.18 kN — the same order of magnitude.
⚠️ Note: Ito ay isang simplified na pagtatantya. Para sa mga kritikal na aplikasyon, kumonsulta sa mga tiyak na minimum load guidelines ng tagagawa ng bearing. Ang aktwal na minimum load ay nakadepende sa internal clearance, uri ng cage, at mga katangian ng lubricant.
