Computerized Design and Life Prediction - Bearings.

Abstract

This report documents the computer study of bearing cage designs. The proposed cage designs possessed unsymmetrical geometry which differed considerably from conventional cage design. The ball bearing dynamics software, BABERDYN2, was modified to enable the analysis of this new geometry. Subsequently, an optimization study of the ball-to-pocket and land riding clearances was performed. This report contains the result of the study.
