본 연구에서는 시일 립의 간섭량과 접촉력에 관련된 이론적 연구를 수행한다. 시일의 접촉면에서 축방향 접촉력이 크게 설계되면 시일 립 선단에서는 마찰과 마멸이 심하게 진행되어 시일수명을 크게 단출시킬 우려가 있고, 접촉력이 작으면 밀봉된 유 체의 누설유려가 증가되면서 볼과 레이스사이의 윤활상태를 나쁘게 하여 베어링 수명 을 크게 단축하는 결과를 초래하게 되므로 시일 립의 접촉력에 관련된 연구는 대단히 중요하다.

Wheel bearing units were almost exclusively used for car front wheel, where the two ball rows are directly side by side with integrated rubber seal. The seal is of important for wheel bearing units due to the adverse environmental conditions with mud and splash water. The seal of wheel bearing units was designed to have geometry with multi lips, which elastic lip contacts and deforms with bearing. The equation of reaction force for deformed lip as cantilever beam was previously used for seal lip design. But it's result was not useful because deflection of the beam differs from lip's. In this study, deformed shape of the lip was assumed to and order function which is more similar to lip deformation and made the equation for reaction force prediction. The Reaction forces from each other equations were compared with results by FEA to prove usefulness of new equation.

Seals in a universal joint bearing are important components reinforcing lubrication performance by holding lubricant and preventing infiltration of dust, moisture, etc.. There is a great difference in seal performance according to seal shape and bonding position. Therefore, in this study, as for both the lip type seal and the O-ring type seal, FE analysis is conducted using Mooned-Rivlin Model. The results show that O-ring type seal does not have any effect of misalignment angle compared with lib type seal, which is more profitable.

Therefore, in this study, as for the lib type seal and O-ring type seal, FEM analysis are conducted using Mooney-Rivlin Model. The results are indicate that O-ring having higher contact stress and larger contact area than lib type is more profitable.

This paper presents the shape optimization process for the automotive wheel bearing seal lip using the finite element method and the response surface method. First, to predict performance of the bearing seal lip, we used the non-linear finite element analysis. And then, we compared the analysis results with the test results to verify the finite element model. The objective function in optimizing process was obtained from results of the mud slurry test, which is one of many tests for evaluating performance of wheel bearing. After the mud slurry test for the four models which have the similar cross-sectional shape, we measured the wear area of the seal lip and the moisture content in grease. The objective function has been chosen by comparing the results of mud slurry test and characteristics of seal lip, such as contact force, contact area, contact pressure, and interference. Finally, within limited design parameters, we suggested the optimized shape of seal lip, which is expected to improve the wear and the sealing effect of it.
