An Analytical Study of Bearing Noise and Vibration Generation and Transmission

Abstract

A study is made to determine the characteristics of both rolling contact and sliding surface bearings that contribute to noise and vibration generation and transmission and the corrective steps and specifications necessary to reduce such troublesome noise and vibration. Both the single-row, radial deep-groove ball bearing and the full-film lubricated journal bearing are considered. The frequencies and magnitudes of vibration producing disturbing forces are determined for both types of bearing as associated with the inherent operating characteristics, the geometrical imperfections of bearing components, the design, and the use in the particular application.
