STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Bearing in Direction of Motion = (Shaft Diameter*Angular or Circumferential Length of Bearing)/2
B = (D*β)/2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Bearing in Direction of Motion - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Bearing in Direction of Motion is the surface length of the bearing in the direction of motion.
Shaft Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - The Shaft Diameter is defined as the diameter of the hole in the iron laminations that contains the shaft.
Angular or Circumferential Length of Bearing - (Measured in Radian) - Angular or Circumferential Length of Bearing is the angle up to which the bearing supports the shaft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shaft Diameter: 3.6 Meter --> 3.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Angular or Circumferential Length of Bearing: 6 Radian --> 6 Radian No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

How are bearings classified?

Depending upon the direction of load to be supported, the bearings can be classified as Radial and Thrust bearings. In radial bearings, the load acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the moving element. In thrust bearings, the load acts along the axis of rotation. Depending upon the nature of contact, the bearings can be classified as sliding contact and rolling contact bearings. In sliding contact bearings, the sliding takes place along the surfaces of contact between the moving element and the fixed element. The sliding contact bearings are also known as plain bearings. In rolling contact bearings, the steel balls or rollers, are interposed between the moving and fixed elements. The balls offer rolling friction at two points for each ball or roller.

How are sliding contact bearings classified?

The sliding contact bearings in which the sliding action is guided in a straight line and carrying radial loads may be called slipper or guide bearings and those in which the sliding action is along the circumference of a circle or an arc of a circle are known as journal or sleeve bearings. When the angle of contact of the bearing with the journal is 360° then the bearing is called a full journal bearing and is used to accommodate bearing loads in any radial direction. When the angle of contact of the bearing with the journal is 120°, then the bearing is said to be partial journal bearing. This type of bearing has less friction than full journal bearing, but it can be used only where the load is always in one direction. The full and partial journal bearings may be called as clearance bearings because the diameter of the journal is less than that of bearing. When a partial journal bearing has no clearance i.e. the diameters of the journal and bearing are equal, then the bearing is called a fitted bearing.
