The effect of varying parameters on the stiffness and damping of an angular contact ball bearing was studied under rotating conditions. Axial and radial preloads have the most significant effect on dynamic characteristics of bearings, as there is a dependence of the characteristics on oil viscosity. The differential heating of the bearing components could also be a very sensitive factor. It was concluded that the joint between the bearing and the housing has a significant effect on the total dynamic characteristics of the bearing assembly.
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.
