The operating clearance in a bearing influences friction, load zone size and fatigue life of a bearing. Hence, an effort is made to investigate the effect of radial internal clearance on the dynamical behavior of a cylindrical roller bearing system with an unbalance present in the system. The differential equations representing the dynamics of the cylindrical roller bearings have been derived using Lagrange’s equations and solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta iterative method. The nonlinear vibration signature has been analyzed due to the clearance and the same is represented by various tools like Acceleration-time plots, Poincaré plots and FFT plots. The approximation method is used to calculate the load distribution and deformation of the individual rollers located at a different position in the load zone, for a preloading/interference fit and positive internal clearance. A response surface method is used to analyze the severity involved in the system due to the combined effect of independent variables like rotor speed, radial load, and radial internal clearance. The observations presented here are not only useful to diagnose the bearing health condition with respect to parametric effects but also exhibit their interactive effects on bearing performance.

The vibration response of a rotor bearing system is extremely important in industries and is challenged by their highly non-linear and complex properties. This paper focuses on performance prediction using response surface method (RSM), which is essential to the design of high performance rotor bearing system. Response surface method is utilized to analysis the effects of design and operating parameters on the vibration response of a rotor-bearing system. A test rig of high speed rotor supported on rolling bearings is used. Vibration response of the healthy ball bearing and ball bearings with various faults are obtained and analyzed. Distributed defects are considered as surface waviness of the bearing components. Effects of internal radial clearance and surface waviness of the bearing components and their interaction are analyzed using design of experiment (DOE) and RSM.

There have been few reports dealing with the drilling of printed wiring boards (PWBs) with micro-drills that are smaller than 0.2 mm in diameter, and super-high-speed spindles that are higher than 160,000 rpm. In these cases, preventing the micro-drill from breaking and keeping the position accuracy of the drilled hole has been difficult. We therefore focus on the high-speed step-drilling method and short stroke as a novel way of resolving these problems. On the other hand, determining the complicated combination of feed speed, rapid feed speed, and stroke length is difficult. Under these backgrounds, in this report we propose a fast-feed step cycle that use fast-feed command without the processing feed. Thus, we attempted to apply the response surface method to optimize these parameters. As a result, a proposed method was found to be effective to improve the drilled hole quality and drilling efficiency in such kinds of micro-drilling of the PWBs.

As large-scale rotating machines develop toward high rotating speed and high power–weight ratio, skidding damage has become one of the major initial failure modes of cylindrical roller bearings. Therefore, understanding the skidding damage law is an effective way to ensure the safety of machines supported by cylindrical roller bearings. To realize the skidding damage, a high-speed rolling bearing test rig that can simulate the actual operating conditions of aviation bearings was used in this paper, and the skidding damage dynamic behaviors of cylindrical roller bearings were investigated. In addition, to ensure the accuracy of the obtained skidding damage mechanism, the cylindrical roller bearing was carefully inspected by microscopic analysis when the skidding damage occurred. Out results show that instantaneous increases in friction torque, vibration acceleration, and temperature are clearly observed when the skidding damage occurs in the cylindrical roller bearing. Furthermore, under the conditions of inadequate lubrication and light load, the critical speed of skidding damage is rather low. The major wear mechanisms of skidding damage include oxidation wear, abrasive wear, and delamination wear. The white layers are found locally in the inner ring and rollers under the actions of friction heat and shear force.

Elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing is a new type of rolling bearings. Its rolling body is composed of rigid and flexible materials. In order to investigate the modal characteristics and harmonic response rules of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with different structural parameters, we computed the modal solutions of a cylindrical roller bearing and the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with filling degrees of 40%, 50% and 65%, and determined the scope of the excitation frequency according to the computed first twelve orders of the modal frequency. On this basis, we analyzed the steady-state response under a sinusoidal alternating load as well as the vibration conditions of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with different filling degrees within the excitation scope, and explored the relationship between the responses such as displacement and stress and the excitation frequency. The results showed that the natural frequencies of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with filling degrees of 40% and 50% were similar to that of a solid bearing, while that of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings with a filling degree of 65% was relatively smaller than that of a solid bearing. The vibration modes of the bearings mainly manifested as bending and torsional deformation of the inner rings. Under the action of an excitation load, the peak responses of the bearings occurred near the fifth and sixth orders of the natural frequency. This research can provide a theoretical reference for the optimal design and engineering applications of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearings.

A six-degree-of-freedom model was developed and used to simulate the motion of all elements in a cylindrical roller bearing. Cage instability has been studied as a function of the roller-race and roller-cage pocket clearances for light-load and high-speed conditions. The effects of variation in inner race speed, misalignment, cage asymmetry, and varying size of one of the rollers have been investigated. In addition, three different roller profiles have been used to study their impact on cage dynamics. The results indicate that the cage exhibits stable motion for small values of roller-race and roller-cage pocket clearances. A rise in instability leads to discrete cage-race collisions with high force magnitudes. Race misalignment leads to a rise in instability for small roller-cage pocket clearances since skew control is provided by the sides of the cage pocket. One roller of larger size than the others causes inner race whirl and leads to stable cage motion for small roller-race clearances without any variation in roller-cage pocket clearance. Cage asymmetry and different roller profiles have a negligible impact on cage motion.
