Dynamic reliability analysis of angular contact ball bearings in positioning precision

Abstract

<jats:p> Bearings are the core components in various kinds of rotating machineries. With the increasing demand of reliable bearings in precision equipment, it is of great significance to analyze the motion error of bearings. In this article, a nonlinear dynamic model of angular contact ball bearings installed in pairs is constructed to describe its response characteristics. The definition of a failure mode in matched bearings is that the dynamic response of each inner race is larger than the allowed axial runout. This article introduces a feasible approach to evaluate the reliability of positioning precision of matched bearings with random geometric parameters. The statistical moments of dynamic response are calculated using stochastic perturbation method. The probability distribution function of state function relating to positioning precision is approached by Edgeworth series, from which the reliability and sensitivity are obtained. A pair of 7206B bearings is taken as an application instance of the proposed method. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to provide a benchmark on which to verify the precision and efficiency of the proposed method. In addition, the effects of mean values and variances of random geometric parameters on the positioning precision are analyzed, respectively. </jats:p>
