It is known that ball bearings mounted in housing or on shaft are playing a key role to keep it running smoothly. The roundness of a housing bore on which bearing outer ring is mounted with interference has directly affected the running accuracy of bearing. The running accuracy of bearing, therefore, can extend the significant influence to the rotating machinery as well. In this paper, bearing's vibration and fatigue life considering raceway roundness of ball bearing before and after mounted in housing bore are theoretically estimated. To perform analysis, a simple three degrees of freedom model was proposed and then Newton-Raphson iterative method was introduced to be utilized in the analysis. The results show that the vibration magnitude of ball bearing fitted into housing unit is appeared considerably larger than the one of its pre-assembling. And theoretical $L_{10}$ life which ninety percent of the bearing population will endure decreased in about fifty percent.

Ball bearing is a device that supports and transmits a load acting on a rotating shaft, and it is a type of rolling bearings that uses the rolling friction of the balls by inserting balls between the inner ring and the outer ring. Grease, which is prepared by mixing a thickener with a base oil, is a lubricant commonly used in bearings and has the advantage of a simple structure and easy handling. Bearings are increasingly being used in high value-added products such as semiconductors, aviation, and robots in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. Accordingly, there is an increasing demand for bearing grease. The selection of grease is an important factor in the bearing design. Therefore, a study must be conducted on the grease life evaluation to select an appropriate grease according to operating conditions such as a high temperature, high rotational speed, and high load. In this study, we evaluate the life of ball-bearing grease according to various operating conditions, namely, temperature, speed, and load changes. For this, we develop and theoretically verify a grease life test machine for ball bearings. We conduct a life test of grease according to various operating conditions of bearings and predict the grease life with a 10% and 50% failure probability using the Weibull analysis. In addition, we analyze the oxide characteristics of the grease over time using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the deterioration characteristics of the grease using the carbonyl index.

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.

This paper presents a new design method of the 1 generation wheel bearing unit using a numerical optimization technique in order to increase bearing fatigue life. For calculating the fatigue life, a method of load analysis is studied on the automotive wheel bearing system. The design variables selected are ball size, initial contact angle, number of balls, pitch diameter, pre-load, and distance between ball centers. The method of feasible directions in ADS (Automated Design Synthesis) is utilized to automatically find the optimum design variables. To validate the design method, a computer program is developed and applied to a practical passenger car model. The optimum design results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed design method showing that the system life of the optimally designed wheel bearing unit is enhanced in comparison with that of the initial ones within the given available design space.

A design method for maximizing fatigue life of the deep groove ball bearing without enlarging mounting space is proposed by using a genetic algorithm. The use of gradient-based optimization methods for the design of the bearing is restricted because this design problem is characterized by the presence of discrete design variables such as the number of balls and standard ball diameter. Therefore, the design problem of rolling element bearings is a constrained discrete optimization problem. A genetic algorithm using real coding is used to efficiently find the optimum discrete design values. To effectively deal with the design constraints, a ranking method is suggested for constructing a fitness function in the genetic algorithm. Constrains for manufacturing are applied in optimization scheme. Results obtained for several 63 series deep groove ball bearings demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed design methodology by showing that the average basic dynamic capacities of optimally designed bearings increased about 9-34% compared with the standard ones.

본 연구에서는 이수순환시스템 핵심 장비 중의 하나인 셰일 셰이커 시작품의 핵심 부품을 선정하여 기초 내구성 평가를 수행하고 분석하였다. 기초 내구성 평가의 경우, 바이브레이터 모터(이하, 모터)가 장시간 운전에 따른 모터 베어링의 수명과 모터로 부터 유발된 진동에 의한 지지 스프링의 강성저하가 장비의 내구성에 적지 않은 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이란 가정을 두었다. 모터 연속운전에 있어, 전 초기 진동 가속도의 P-P 수준은 0.72 g 수준 이었으나 운전 100 시간 경과 후, 진동 가속도의 P-P 수준은 1.26 g로 급격히 상승함을 볼 수 있었으며, 진동 상승의 원인분석을 위해 볼 결함주파수 분석기법을 통해 베어링 결함을 추정할 수 있었다. 또한, 셰일 셰이커의 가진 조건을 피로내구시험에 적용하여 시험 2,000 시간 경과 시, 스프링의 강성이 약 3.78 % 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 본 연구는 스프링 강성의 저하가 셰일 셰이커의 입자제거 효율이 미치는 영향 분석과 그에 따른 고장수명에 예측에 관한 후속 연구를 수행 할 예정이다.

In In this study, we compared the results of a ball bearing life prediction model based on rolling element loads with the results of fatigue life prediction of ball bearings when a stress-based contact fatigue life prediction technique is applied to the ball bearing. We calculate the load acting on each rolling element by the external load of the bearing and apply the result to the Lundberg-Palmgren (LP) theory to calculate ball bearing life based on the rolling element. We also calculate stress-based ball bearing life through contact and fatigue analyses based on contact modeling of the ball and raceway while considering the fatigue test results of AISI 52100 steel. In stress-based life prediction, we use three high-cycle fatigue-determination equations that can predict the fatigue life when multi-axis proportional loads such as rolling-slide contact conditions are applied. These equations are derived from the stress invariant and critical plane methods and the mesoscopic approach. Life expectancy results are compared with those of the LP model. Results of the analysis indicated that the fatigue life was predicted to be lower in the order of the Crossland, Dang Van, and Matake models. Of the three, the Dang Van fatigue model was found to be the closest to the LP life.

The failures such as flaking, wear, crack and seizing caused by the high contact pressure accompanied with sliding motion between inner or outer ring and ball are potential failures of ball bearing. In this research, we have qualitatively selected the efficient test items through the analysis of the life and potential failures of ball bearing. The bearing's failures are related closely to the whole system in using the bearing. So, the bearing itself requires an estimation of life in order to opreate the system safely. We have tested ten ball bearings. Our research has applied both radial and axial direction force of maximum torque conditions simultaneously for the accelerated life testing. The result is established by employing the weibull plot and compared the predicted life of ball bearing to the experimental result.

The structural safety of hydraulic winch drum and the gears are estimated by the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the winch operation experiment. The mesh convergence test is performed and the applied force is the pressure on the drum converted from the rope tension in working condition. The stress of the drum calculated from the strain values of the winch operation experiment shows the agreement with that from the FEA. Most stress values are under the yield strength except for the small hole made for the wire rope fixation. The life of bearings in the drum is calculated using the life prediction formula with the reaction forces from the operation load. One of the two ball bearings shows the short life for impact condition, yet the real prototype winch system shows more life than the numerical value.
