Tapered Roller Bearing Development for Aircraft Turbine Engines.

Abstract

Finite element methods were used to structurally analyze various potential high speed tapered roller bearing cage designs. These cage designs included roller guided and race guided configurations. The two approaches used in the analysis were first to model the full cage using beam elements and then intensively analyze a segment using solid elements. In summary it was determined that centrifugal forces mostly affect high speed cage stress and deformation, and the race guided cage exhibits the greatest strength. (Author)
