Though the rolling ball bearing greatly contributes to decrease the friction energy of the machine movement, we require the development of lower friction torque technology of ball bearing to achieve more efficient machine.Especially, the fluid resistance makes an important role when the ball bearing is soaked in lubricant. Estimation of the loss of torque by the fluid resistance brings the reduction in the design cost. Therefore, in our research, it aims to develop the simulation technology of the fluid resistance by the ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian and Eulerian) Finite Element Method. As the first step, we have established the simulation technology of movement analysis for the only ball bearing. In this report, we did the movement analysis numerical simulation of the ball bearing that considered the contact ellipse and EHL (Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication) Theory. As the result, we improved validity of the analysis from the perspective of the contact reaction force.
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.
