Abstract

Rolling element bearings experience dynamic axial thrust and shaft movements of various frequencies and amplitudes in a multitude of applications, such as drive trains, industrial gearboxes or heavy-duty machinery. These operating conditions often cause significant friction losses that entail higher operating temperatures and lower lubricant operating viscosities which may result in insufficient lubrication or even premature bearing failure. Therefore, in an experimental study, a cylindrical roller bearing has been subjected to dynamic axial shaft movements of various frequencies and amplitudes, utilizing a specifically designed test rig. Within the scope of this presentation, this test rig is briefly introduced and the experimental set-up is presented. The results obtained, which include measurements of axial friction forces between rollers and raceways, operating temperatures of inner and outer ring, test bearing friction moments, as well as cage slippage, are discussed in detail.
