A Study of High-Speed Angular Contact Ball Bearing Thermo-Mechanical Coupling Characteristics

Abstract:

Heat generation and deformation of bearing are key factors that influence the rigidity and machining accuracy of the high-speed precision spindle system. Based on heat transfer and thermodynamics, the finite element model of angular contact ball bearing is established for thermal deformation. The contact stress and thermal deformation are analyzed and obtained at a speed of . The results show that the maximum contact stress and thermal deflection appeared at contact region, which is in accordance with actual status. The results provide the reference and the theory basis for research into thermal deformation of bearing.
