Results of ball bearing rings skew effect on radial stiffness factor are pre-sented in the paper. The effect of radial load on stiffness factor at change of angles of rings skew was evaluated. Significant influence of bearing rings skew on stiffness factor at small radial load values is noted.

Abstract Ball bearing stiffness is significantly affected by internal clearance as well as the nature of applied loads and bearing ring mounting compliance. Since their stiffnesses are key to rotor critical speeds, it is important to obtain the most accurate possible radial stiffness prediction for shaft bearings during the machine design analysis process. Quasi-static analysis of spring-preloaded ball bearings predicted reduced radial stiffness when the outer ring is permitted to tilt rather than being assumed restrained from angular deflection. This effect was confirmed experimentally by observing resonant frequencies of a rotor supported on ball bearings of varied internal clearance, mounted with and without spring preloading. Analytic predictions of bearing stiffness are given, and test results presented for comparison.

This paper firstly presented a mathematical model of the radial stiffness of a wire race ball bearing in a certain type of three-axis aircraft simulating rotary table. The Stribeck theory was used to determine the radial load distribution of the bearing. By treating the contact between balls and wires as equivalent compression springs, the relationships of these springs in series and parallel can be obtained to solve the total radial stiffness. Experiments verified the theoretical results of the radial stiffness. This work provides an effective support for further studying the complex contact dynamics of the wire race ball bearing in the future.

When the ball bearing serving under the combined loading conditions, the ball will roll in and out of the loaded zone periodically. Therefore the bearing stiffness will vary with the position of the ball, which will cause vibration. In order to reveal the vibration mechanism, the quasi static model without raceway control hypothesis is modeled. A two-layer nested iterative algorithm based on Newton–Raphson (N-R) method with dynamic declined factors is presented. The effect of the dispersion of bearing parameters and the installation errors on the time-varying carrying characteristics of the ball-raceway contact and the bearing stiffness are investigated. Numerical simulation illustrates that besides the load and the rotating speed, the dispersion of bearing parameters and the installation errors have noticeable effect on the ball-raceway contact load, ball-inner raceway contact state and bearing stiffness, which should be given full consideration during the process of design and fault diagnosis for the rotor-bearing system.

This paper studies the stiffness characteristics of preloaded duplex angular contact ball bearings. First, a five degrees-of-freedom (5DOF) quasi-static model of the preloaded duplex angular contact ball bearing is established based on the Jones bearing model. Three bearing configurations (face-to-face, back-to-back, and tandem arrangements) and two preload mechanisms (constant pressure preload and fixed position preload) are included in the proposed model. Subsequently, the five-dimensional stiffness matrix of the preloaded duplex angular contact ball bearing is derived analytically. Then, an experimental setup is developed to measure the radial stiffness and the angular stiffness of duplex angular contact ball bearings. The simulated results match well with those from experiments, which prove the validity of the proposed model. Finally, the effects of bearing configuration, preload mechanism, and unloaded contact angle on the angular stiffness and the cross-coupling are studied systematically.

The present paper deals with the performance analysis of a nonrecessed hole-entry hydrostatic/hybrid conical journal bearing with capillary restrictors. Finite element method has been used for solving the modified Reynolds equation governing the flow of lubricant in the clearance space of journal and bearing. The hole-entry hybrid conical journal bearing performance characteristics have been depicted for a wide range of radial load parameter (W¯r  = 0.25–1.5) with uniform distribution of holes at an angle of 30 deg in the circumferential direction. The numerically simulated results have been presented in terms of maximum fluid film pressure, minimum fluid film thickness, lubricant flow rate, direct fluid film stiffness coefficients, direct fluid film damping coefficients, and stability threshold speed. However, the proposed investigation of nonrecess hole-entry hybrid conical journal bearing shows important performance for bearing stiffness and minimum fluid film thickness at variable radial load and at given operating speed.

Experimental investigation of residual stresses after heat treatment and grinding processes in the production of ball bearing rings has been carried out. The residual stresses were measured by X-ray diffraction method utilizing chromium radiation, which has an average penetration depth of 5 μm incident on 100Cr6 (AISI-E52100) ball bearing steel. The process parameters of heat treatment and grinding processes were varied so as to represent the extreme values that can be applied in the respective processes. Hardness and percent retained austenite limit the heat treatment process parameters; while roundness, surface roughness and form the grinding process. Tensile surface residual stresses on the raceway of ball bearing rings changes to compression after grinding in both circumferential and axial directions. In grinding relatively higher compressive stresses were measured in axial direction compared to the circumferential direction. This experimental investigation also showed that the influence of heat treatment process parameters on the magnitude and distribution of residual stresses survived even after grinding process; i.e. heat treatment and grinding processes cannot be evaluated independently in process design for favourable residual stresses.
