Occurring during operation inhomogeneity of the contact pressure distribution between the rollers and the bearing rings due to skew affects the durability and dynamics of the bearing parts. The article describes a modified method of normal contact pressure determination according to the theory, based on the Bousinessque equation. The efficiency of the method is estimated and results of numerical simulation of normal contact pressure distribution in the contact of the roller with the raceway of the inner ring of the cylindrical roller bearing for different roller profiles, loads, and skew angles are presented. It is shown that the logarithmic profile creates the lowest pressure concentration at the ends of the roller.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
