The contact angle of a ball in a ball bearing is conventionally assumed to be a constant value in the mechanism analysis; in reality, this is not true. This assumption is made for the purpose of simplifying calculations, but the real elastic deformation produced at the position of each ball due to the acting force varying with the contact angle is unable to be considered. This study tries to establish a simple, three-dimensional expression for the elastic deformation at different position angles in terms of the geometry of the contact surface at the inner and outer races. Simply using the Newton method when the bearing deformations in the radial and axial directions are available can solve the contact angle as a function of position angle. Several characteristics arising from the variable contact angle will be discussed.

This paper describes a vibration-based diagnostic method by estimating the surface roughness on the rotating ring or balls in ball bearings. The surface roughness has been measured by a stylus that directly traverses the surface of the ring or balls obtained by taking apart the ball bearing. We developed a new method to estimate accurately the surface roughness by analyzing the short-length vibration signal that is excited when balls encounter flaws on the rotating ring or when races encounter flaws on the balls in a ball bearing. Our experimental results confirm that the roughness estimated by the proposed method agrees with that measured directly by using a stylus even in the case of crack μm wide. We applied this new method to the diagnosis of surface roughness in small-sized ball bearings and inferior samples were detected with a 95.3 percent accuracy rate.

Since the designed bearing’s reliability of 90% was determined in a lab environment, it does not represent the actual used environment. In this paper, a new methodology to determine the actual reliability that corresponds to the use conditions is offered. This new method is based on the standard method used to select the ball bearing. The proposed method is based on the two parameters of Weibull distribution, where the shape (β) and scale (η) parameters are both determined from the Hertz contact stresses values, which are generated under the surface of the motionless outer race, and by the forces transmitted between the ball and the outer race. Therefore, the derived reliability is different from the 90% index offered by manufacturers.

The heat generating mechanism inside the cavity of rolling bearing is analyzed and the convective heat transfer coefficient of bearing raceway surface in different rotational speed is calculated under the oil-air lubrication and the spray lubrication in this paper. The fluid domain geometry model of deep groove ball bearing SKF6208 is established, employing the flow field module in Workbench. The comparing simulations of the temperatures of rolling bearing cavity under the oil-air lubrication to the spray lubrication are done in different rotational speed. The simulation results show that the highest temperature of bearing cavity with the oil-air lubrication is almost the same to the spray lubrication when the bearing rotational speed is lower, and the highest temperature of bearing cavity with the oil-air lubrication is far lower than the spray lubrication when the bearing rotational speed is higher. Those conclusions verify the advantages of the oil-air lubrication in high rotational speed.

In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical simulation (using ABAQUS) of the radial and tangential wear between a ball bearing and a raceway is presented. The aim was to study the influence of the contact angle between ball and raceway on the fretting. A range of contact angles was studied with critical parameters such as contact stress, relative slip, plastic deformation, and contact state. The model was validated against experimental data. The results show that with an increase in the contact angle, the area of maximum stress increases, the bearing capacity of the raceway decreases, and the maximum radial stress moves from the sub-surface to the raceway surface. The raceway surface is shown to be prone to peeling and wear, which reduces the service life of the raceway.
