Models for the correction of classical fatigue life for material imperfections and severity of operating conditions in rolling bearings are implemented in a bearing dynamics computer code. The significance of life correction factors is then demonstrated for both ball and cylindrical roller bearings over a range of operating conditions.

Computer based rolling bearing analysis programs exist which provide models for load and stress distribution, EHD conditions, heat balance and fatigue life prediction for rolling bearings and machine assemblies comprising such bearings. Fatigue life prediction is generally based on the ANSI standard. This two-part paper offers correction factors for refining the life prediction by modeling effects of material and operating variables. The corrections can be applied to the ANSI-predicted life of a complete bearing or to predicted lives of stressed volume elements in the bearing, with subsequent summation over the stressed volumes. Formulations are presented with a view to their incorporation into dynamic bearing analysis computer programs. This second part of the paper comprises the equations for the correction factors, the complete life correction, an Appendix showing logic flow for the calculations, and figures illustrating the behavior of the correction factors.

Abstract In this paper, a comprehensive analytical model for the fatigue life prediction of ball bearing in various operating conditions is presented. Not only the internal clearance variations induced by the centrifugal expansion and assembly interference, but also ball inertia forces and ball-raceway separations are fully considered in theoretical modeling to achieve accurate life prediction of ball bearing. The model has been validated by comparison with the static results in previous literature. Based on this, the results of the load distribution and fatigue life versus the internal clearance of ball bearing under various operating conditions are studied. The results show that there is always an optimal clearance to maximize bearing fatigue life for the radial load or the combined load conditions, and the size of the optimal clearance for bearing life is determined by both the load conditions and rotating speeds to ensure the uniformity of the internal load distribution of the ball bearing. Therefore, the above theoretical and conclusions can be used in structural design optimization and assembly parameters selection of ball bearing to maximize the life characteristic.

The accurate prediction of the remaining useful life (RUL) of rolling bearings is of great significance for a rational formulation of maintenance strategies and the reduction of maintenance costs. According to the two-stage nonlinear degradation characteristics of rolling bearing operation, this paper proposes a prognosis model based on modified stochastic filtering. First, multiple features reextracted from the time domain, frequency domain, and complexity angles, and the baseline Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is established using the normal operating data after spectral regression. The Bayesian-inferred distance (BID) is used as a quantitative indicator to reflect the bearing performance degradation degree. Then, taking multiparameter fusion results as input, the relationship between BID and remaining life is established by the two-stage stochastic filtering model to realize online dynamic remaining useful life prediction. The method in this paper overcomes the difficulty of accurately defining the failure threshold of rolling bearing. At the same time, it reduces the computational burden, avoiding the need of calculating the joint probability distribution for high-dimensional data. Finally, the proposed method has been verified experimentally to have high precision and engineering application value.

Aimed at addressing the problem that the subjective selection of start prediction time (SPT) in rolling bearing remaining useful life (RUL) prediction will lead to excessive noise in the prediction signal, a linear-regression-based SPT point determination was proposed. The sliding window linear regression method was used to establish sliding windows in the root mean square (RMS) range to obtain the RMS gradient domain. The threshold for the RMS gradient was set, and the continuous trigger threshold mechanism to determine the SPT point was used. The experimental results show that the linear-regression-based method can adaptively determine the SPT point and improve the accuracy of life prediction.

The paper describes the latest technological solutions in rolling bearings (ball and roller) used in refrigerant compressors. First, the numerous tribological challenges faced by rolling contacts in a lubricant environment made of oil and refrigerant mixture are discussed. It is followed by a description of the even tougher conditions derived by the replacement of the more chemically stable pre-Montreal and pre-Kyoto Protocol refrigerants by the new generation of more environmental friendly refrigerants. In these conditions, rolling bearings are expected to suffer from surface distress and sometimes corrosion fatigue. Thus, attempts to model these conditions by using advanced tribological models are described. Finally, descriptions of different solutions in rolling bearings in refrigerant compressors facing challenges in lubrication and bearing life are described, all the way from traditional oil–refrigerant mixture lubrication up to the latest innovation related to oil-free lubrication, namely the pure refrigerant lubrication.
