Hardness of Roller Bearings with Radial Clearance

Abstract

Based on the method previously proposed by the author, an analytical definition of the stiffness of roller bearings is provided in the presence of a radial clearance in them. To solve the problem, the parameters were preliminarily analytically determined in the absence of clearance gaps in the bearing: the distribution of the load along the rolling elements; The maximum load on the roller; Moving in the bearings and the number of loaded rollers. Further, all specified parameters are determined in the presence of gaps in the bearing. For the convenience of calculations, all these parameters are also presented in a dimensionless form. Using the obtained formulas, graphs of the dependences of the indicated parameters on the gap size are plotted.
