@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9179, title = {Internal Loading Distribution in Statically Loaded Ball Bearings Subjected to a Centric Thrust Load: Alternative Approach}, author = {Mário C. Ricci}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {An alternative iterative computational procedure is proposed for internal normal ball loads calculation in statically loaded single-row, angular-contact ball bearings, subjected to a known thrust load, which is applied in the inner ring at the geometric bearing center line. An accurate method for curvature radii at contacts with inner and outer raceways in the direction of the motion is used. Numerical aspects of the iterative procedure are discussed. Numerical examples results for a 218 angular-contact ball bearing have been compared with those from the literature. Twenty figures are presented showing the geometrical features, the behavior of the convergence variables and the following parameters as functions of the thrust load: normal ball loads, contact angle, distance between curvature centers, and normal ball and axial deflections.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {5}, year = {2010}, pages = {439 - 447}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9179}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/41}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 41, 2010}, }
