Design, Development and Testing of High Speed Tapered Roller Bearings for Turbine Engines.
Abstract
The object of this program was to investigate the feasibility of tapered roller bearings to operate under future gas turbine engine requirements of speed and load. A speed of 3,500,000 DN (107.95 mm bore X 32,422 rpm) and 5000 pounds thrust load were set as goals. The analytical work involved defining various bearing parameters that would influence the design and performance under high speed operation. A total of thirty bearings were designed and fabricated for the testing portion of the program.
