Analysis of the Influence of Internal Radial Clearance on the Load Distribution of the Rolling Ball Bearing

Abstract

The distribution of the external radial load on rolling bodies of bearing is uneven. This is a statically undefined problem, so for the analysis of load distribution beside equilibrium conditions need to be introduced and supplemental one which are based on the relationship between the contact deformation of the contact parts and loads. The unevenness of the distribution is greater considering the influence of the inner radial clearance. Purpose of the paper is to determine the load transmitted by the most heavily loaded rolling body as well as the other rolling bodies, used analytical and numerical approach.

Experimental and numerical transient thermal analysis of the idler bearing housing made of steel or polymer material

“…This is maximum gap tolerance and it is used in these operation conditions because the environment is polluted with dirt and dust particles, and often moisture and containing corrosion particles. External load is being distributed to the rolling elements which form the load distribution angle with the bearing's center axis which is [11] .…”
