Abstract:The rolling contact fatigue of PEEK-alumina ball bearings in non-lubrication was tested under 500 N and 600 N. During the tests, the friction torque was measured. The retainers under both conditions broke during the tests, and rubbed on the upper and bottom races. The friction features were not different between 500 N and 600 N. However, the black colored surfaces on the races and retainer were identified only in the test under 600 N. The wear loss of the bearing tested under 600 N was larger than that under 5… Show more

In our previous paper [6], the effects of the retainer wear failure on the friction torque were investigated. In the present paper, to research the failure of the retainers of the PEEK-alumina ball bearings tested under dry rolling contact, the upper and bottom surfaces and the sections of the retainer pockets were observed.
In our previous paper[6], the effects of the retainer wear failure on the friction torque were investigated. In the present paper, to research the failure of the retainers of the PEEK-alumina ball bearings tested under dry rolling contact, the upper and bottom surfaces and the sections of the retainer pockets were observed. The wear damage was found on the surface of the upper and bottom surfaces. On the sections of the pocket, the changes due to wear at the pocket edge was found. On the worn curves of the sections, large scatter of the curvature center positions were numerically calculated in both specimens. The balls moved relatively for the retainer unit to the upper or bottom sides. These results indicate that the wear changed the pocket shape, and the ball could not become to keep the position for the retainer unit. The wear of the pocket caused the failure of the retainer.
