The Relationship

Vibration characteristics of a deep groove ball bearing caused by a localized surface defect are greatly affected by defect sizes, such as the length, width, and depth. However, effects of the defect depth, the time-varying contact stiffness between the ball and defect, and the relationship between the time-varying contact stiffness and defect sizes have not been considered in previous defect models. In this work, a new defect model considering a new force–deflection relationship is presented to replace the Hertzian force–deflection relationship to describe the ball-line contact between the ball and defect edge. Both the time-varying displacement impulse and time-varying contact stiffness are considered. The relationship between the time-varying contact stiffness and defect sizes is obtained. Effects of defect sizes on the vibrations of the deep groove ball bearing, especially the defect depth that cannot be described by previous defect models, are investigated. The simulation results are compared with those from the previous defect models. The results show that the model developed can predict a more realistic impulse caused by a localized surface defect for dynamic simulation of the deep groove ball bearing. An experimental investigation is also presented to validate the proposed model.

Aiming at the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of the rotor system supported by deep groove ball bearings, the dynamic model of the double-disk rotor system supported by deep groove ball bearings was established. In this paper, the nonlinear finite element method is used combined with the structural characteristics of deep groove ball bearings. Based on the nonlinear Hertz contact theory, the mechanical model of deep groove ball bearings is obtained. The excitation response results of the rotor system nodes are solved by using the Newmark-β numerical solution method combined with the Newton–Raphson iterative method. The vibration characteristics of the rotor system supported by deep groove ball bearings are studied deeply. In addition, the effect of varying compliance vibration (VC vibration) caused by the change in bearing support stiffness on the dynamics of the system is considered. The time domain and frequency domain characteristics of the rotor system at different speeds, as well as the influence of bearing clearance and bearing inner ring’s acceleration on the dynamics of the rotor system are analyzed. The research shows that the VC vibration of the bearing has a great influence on the motion of the rotor system when the rotational speed is low. Moreover, reasonable control of bearing clearance can reduce the mutual impact between the bearing rolling element and the inner or outer rings of the bearing and reduce the influence of unstable bearing motion on the vibration characteristics of the rotor system. The results can provide theoretical basis for the subsequent study of the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the deep groove ball bearing rotor system.

Deep Groove Ball Bearing

To study the vibration characteristics of deep-groove ball bearing, considering the influence of sliding, the dynamic model of the DGB 6205 system is established in this paper. The DGB 6205 system model includes the movement of the bearing inner ring in the X and Y directions, the rotation of the cage, the rotation movement of each ball, the revolution movement of each ball and the movement along the radial direction of each ball. Based on the system model, the differential equations of motion of the system are established, and the correctness of the model is verified by experiment. The slip characteristics of the DGB 6205 system are studied by numerical simulation. At the same time, the influence of time-varying load on the vibration characteristics of the system is studied. Then, the sensitivity of system parameters is analyzed. The results show that the sliding speed between the ball and the inner raceway is greater than that between the ball and the outer raceway. The radial vibration response of DGB 6205 system under time-varying load is less than that under constant load. The increase of radial clearance will increase the vibration response of DGB 6205 system.

Abstract Bearings are critical mechanical components that are used in rotary machinery. Timely detection of defects in such components can prevent catastrophic failure. Noise is generated during the rotation of bearings even without the presence of defects due to finite number of rotating elements to carry the load. Such noise is associated with the change in effective stiffness during rotation, however, a sharp spike is observed in the noise level with presence of local defects. This study uses the noise generation aspect of roller bearings to identify local defect in a single row ball bearing with outer race stationary under radial load. Experimental testing is conducted on two identical bearings. The defective bearing is selected from a diesel engine subjected to 20 years of service. Dissecting the defective bearing revealed pitting and spalling of the inner race and balls, the most two common bearing defects. Both time and frequency analysis of sound pressure generated by the bearings were performed. The results show that there is a clear distinction in the time and frequency spectra between healthy and defective bearings. Findings of this study revealed that using a simple cost efficient in-house experimental setup, local defects can be readily detected.
