Dynamic, thermal, and vibrational analysis of ball bearings with over-skidding behavior

Abstract

The term ?over-skidding? indicates that the cage rotational speed ratio exceeds the theoretical value as ball purely rolls on the raceway. Different from the skidding phenomenon that occurs in low-load and high-speed bearing, over-skidding usually occurs in large-size angular contact bearings, and it is still difficult to suppress under high load conditions. The main forms of damage to the raceway by over-skidding are spinning and gyro slip. To further explore the vibration characteristics and thermal effects of this phenomenon, a set of over-skidding tests of an angular contact bearing with a bore diameter of 220 mm were conducted on an industrial-size test bench. Through the experiment, the influence of axial load, rotational speed, and lubrication conditions on the occurrence of over-skidding were determined. Based on a previous dynamics model, the heat generation and thermal network models were integrated in the present study to predict the over-skidding and its thermal behavior. The model was validated in terms of the measured degree of over-skidding and temperature rise. The results showed that the degree of over-skidding reaches up to 12% of the theoretical value, and the friction power loss of the ball-pocket accounts for 30% of the total power loss. The analysis of the vibration signal showed a strong correlation between the bearing vibration characteristics and over-skidding behavior, thereby providing a way to indirectly measure the degree of over-skidding.
