Axially Loaded

This paper develops a simplified numerical technique for the analysis of heat generation and cage slip in high-speed axially loaded ball bearings. The model compares well with experimental results and has shown the characteristic slip behaviour associated with ball bearings. It has been possible to use the model to investigate the nature and causes of slip in lightly loaded ball bearings and it has been shown that the mechanism is primarily dependent upon the spin power, which falls rapidly as slip sets in. The characteristics of slip in ball bearings are shown to be quite different to those in roller bearings.

This paper compares theoretical and experimental results on the friction-induced heating in thrust-loaded ball bearings at constant speed. Heat transfer and friction heat-generation models are developed for the bearings using computer techniques. The comparisons indicate that the models are reasonable since the predictions are within ±10 percent of the measured values. More work is needed, however, before a more accurate prediction technique will be available.

Purpose Thermal performances are key factors impacting the operation of angular contact ball bearings. Heat generation and transfer about angular contact ball bearings, however, have not been addressed thoroughly. So far, most researchers only considered the convection effect between bearing housings and air, whereas the cooling/lubrication operation parameters and configuration effect were not taken into account when analyzing the thermal behaviors of bearings. This paper aims to analyze the structural constraints of high-speed spindle, structural features of bearing, heat conduction and convection to study the heat generation and transfer of high-speed angular contact ball bearings. Design/methodology/approach Based on the generalized Ohm’s law, the thermal grid model of angular contact ball bearing of high-speed spindle was first established. Next Gauss–Seidel method was used to solve the equations group by Matlab, and the nodes temperature was calculated. Finally, the bearing temperature rise was tested, and the comparative analysis was made with the simulation results. Findings The results indicate that the simulation results of bearing temperature rise for the proposed model are in better agreement with the test values. So, the thermal grid model established is verified. Originality/value This paper shows an improved model on forecasting temperature rise of high-speed angular contact ball bearings. In modeling, the cooling/lubrication operation parameters and structural constraints are integrated. As a result, the bearing temperature variation can be forecasted more accurately, which may be beneficial to improve bearing operating accuracy and bearing service life.

This study deals with carriage drift (which is the differences of the carriage displacements or angular displacements at a certain position on a rail during a forward and return process) in linear-guideway type roller bearings. First, the displacements and angular displacements of the carriage of the “nonrecirculating” linear roller and ball bearings under a reciprocating operation were measured. The experimental results showed that carriage drift (in the horizontal, vertical, yaw, and pitch directions) occurred in the roller bearing and not in the ball bearing. Next, in relationship to roller skew, the generating mechanism of carriage drift in roller bearings was examined by a multibody analysis (MBA), then the generating mechanism of carriage drift was explained. Finally, to reduce carriage drift by restricting the roller skew, an antiskewing brace (ASB) was developed.

The transient thermal performance of rolling bearings affects the mechanical performance and system safety of traction motors. Most of the traditional empirical formulas used in temperature analysis have been simplified and cannot be completely applied to the calculation of heat generation and convection heat transfer coefficients. Based on the comparative analysis of finite element transient temperature and experimental data, this paper proposes a correction method of mathematical model and derives an accurate calculation formula for the heat generation and lubricant convection heat transfer coefficient of ball bearings applicable for the non-driving end in the traction motor of a high-speed EMU (Electric Multiple Unit). The accuracy of the results has been verified by durability experiment data. In addition, with changes in speed, radial load and other factors taken into account, we have analyzed the influence of these time-varying factors on ball bearing temperature, as well as the temperature distribution law of each component in a grease-lubricated bearing, in a bid to lay a foundation for follow-up research on the heat transfer laws of traction motors and rolling bearings.

Purpose This paper aims to devote to the experimental analysis and modeling on the heat generation of angular contact ball bearings under vibration. Design/methodology/approach The experiments about vibration effect on bearing temperature are implemented. To explore the causes of bearing temperature rise, the shaft-bearing system is first simplified to a forced vibration model to analyze the bearing loads in vibration. Next, the vibratory-induced additional load is proposed and the spin power loss of balls is re-derived under vibration. The vibration-induced heat is integrated into a novel forecasting model of bearing power loss. For validation, the muti-node model for angular contact ball bearings is referred to create the thermal network of spindle front bearing, and then the contrast and discussion is done. Findings The simulation and test results both indicate that more energy is expended and more heat is generated with vibration. And the further quantitative comparisons between simulation results and experimental values of bearing temperature demonstrate the rationality and availability of constructed model on bearing heat generation. Originality/value The vibration-induced additional load is proposed and modeled, and the novel forecasting model for heat generation for high-speed angular contact ball bearings with vibration is constructed and validated.

Rolling Elements

A completely general solution is obtained whereby the elastic compliances of a system of any number of ball and radial roller bearings under any system of loads can be determined. Elastic yielding of the shaft and supporting structure are considered as well as centrifugal and gyroscopic loading of the rolling elements under high-speed operation. The solution defines the loading and attitude of each rolling element in each bearing of the system as well as the displacement of each inner ring with respect to its outer ring. For ball bearings the precise location of the load paths in each raceway are found. Life estimates can be more accurately made since the fatigue effects can be evaluated over known paths in the raceways. The solution, which is accomplished numerically by iterative techniques, has been programmed for an IBM-704 digital computer.

Bearing Stiffness

A new, general and consistent mathematical model of highly modular character is presented for calculation of the equilibrium and associated load distribution in rolling element bearings. The bearings may be loaded and displaced in five degrees of freedom. High speed rolling element loading is considered, internal friction is neglected, the material is assumed linearly elastic and the bearing rings are modelled as rigid except for local contact deformation. Either classical Hertzian contact analysis or modern non-Hertzian contact analysis of sophisticated or approximate character is used as applicable. The bearing stiffness matrix is computed analytically and used internally in the iterative bearing equilibrium calculation; its final values may be used for other purposes such as (rotor) dynamics analysis. In Part I, the general theory and application to ball bearings is presented. In Part II, application of the general theory to roller bearings and an experimental verification are presented.

The performance of 120.65-mm (4.75-in.) bore high-speed design tapered roller bearings was investigated at shaft speeds of 20,000 rpm (2.4 million DN) under combined thrust and radial load. The test bearings design was computer optimized for high-speed operation. Temperature distribution and bearing heat generation were determined as a function of shaft speed, radial and thrust loads, lubricant flow rates, and lubricant inlet temperature. The high-speed design tapered roller bearing operated successfully at shaft speeds up to 20,000 rpm under heavy thrust and radial loads. Bearing temperatures and heat generation with the high-speed design bearing were significantly less than those of a modified standard bearing tested previously. Cup cooling was effective in decreasing the high cup temperatures to levels equal to the cone temperature.

Computer simulations of the dynamics performance of roller bearings, as obtained by the computer code ADORE, are used to model the infuence of race out-of-roundness, race taper and centrality of land on partly crowned rollers. Both oil and solid lubricated high-speed roller bearings are considered and the overall performance parameters, such as, bearing life, heat generation, cage interactions and race flange wear due to roller skew and tilt, are correlated to the magnitude of the various geometrical imperfections. Thus the strength of computer modeling approach to optimization of geometrical tolerances in cylindrical roller bearings is demonstrated.
