Ball Motion

This paper describes the development of a computer program used to analyze completely the motion of a ball in a high-speed, thrust-loaded ball bearing. Particular emphasis is paid to the role of the lubricant in governing the forces and moments acting on each ball. Expressions for these forces due to the rolling and sliding of the ball are derived in the light of the latest fluid models, and estimates are also made of the cage forces applicable in this specific situation. It is found that only when lubricant viscoelastic behavior is considered do the theoretical predictions agree with existing experimental evidence.

Ball Motion

In this paper it is shown how, in an angular contact ball bearing, the motion of a ball depends on the dimensions, loading and speed of the bearing. In general, ball motion in an angular contact bearing differs from the simple motion usually visualised by including oscillatory occurrences, shown here analytically, graphically and visually. These oscillatory occurrences are shown to lead to premature fatigue of the bearing metal, as a function of the speed of rotation, thereby imposing the present limitations on maximum speed and “ life.”It is further shown that only when the dimensions of an angular contact ball bearing are related in a certain way, a motion is produced in which the oscillatory phenomena are eliminated. These relations are given as functions of loading and speed in a system of equations and limiting conditions (hereafter referred to as “ Relations of the Dimensions ”).

Ball Motion

This investigation focuses on the contact interaction between a ball and a torus ring as in ball bearings. The sliding velocity field at the nonplanar contact area is analyzed and the resulting friction force and moment are determined assuming same friction coefficient at any point of the contact area. The results are illustrated by an application case to an angular contact ball bearing. The procedure developed through an appropriate computer simulation is useful in ascertaining the steady-state motion of a ball in ball bearings, in friction-and-wear test machine, etc. The results contribute to a better understanding of the nature of friction phenomena and the ball motion controlled by these phenomena. They also provide data on sliding and amount of wear at the contact areas, as well as lubricant degradation.

Ball Motion

In modern high-speed ball bearings the pressure areas, which result from elastic deformations at the ball-race contacts, are appreciably curved and interfacial slip can occur at most points within the pressure areas. These slippages give rise to friction forces acting on the ball which are held in equilibrium by reactions from the races and the inertia effects of the motion of the ball. A method is derived for determining the motion of the ball and sliding friction in a high-speed, angular-contact ball bearing under thrust load in terms of the inertia effects on the ball and the frictional resistances resulting from interfacial slip at the contact areas. Possible elastic compliance at the interface, hysteresis, and dynamical perturbations of ball motion are neglected. The solution of eight, simultaneous equations involving double integrals for which closed-form solutions cannot be found is required. A solution for a particular case requires the services of a high-speed computer. For the case where gyroscopic effects on the ball can be neglected, certain simplifications and assumptions can be made which enable the solution of a particular problem using conventional computation means.
