ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF INTERNAL RADIAL CLEARANCE ON THE LOAD DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROLLING BALL BEARING

The distribution of the external radial load on rolling bodies of bearing is uneven. This is a statically undefined problem, so for the analysis of load distribution beside equilibrium conditions need to be introduced and supplemental one which are based on the relationship between the contact deformation of the contact parts and loads. The unevenness of the distribution is greater considering the influence of the inner radial clearance. Purpose of the paper is to determine the load transmitted by the most heavily loaded rolling body as well as the other rolling bodies, used analytical and numerical approach.
