Abstract
In this study, on the basis of the various contact angles and the hybrid theory, a new mathematic model without the raceway control hypothesis is proposed for the analysis of ball bearing under the combined axial, radial and moment loads. Instead of the orthogonal decomposition method, the triangular geometric theorem and vector diagram method have been used in the force analysis of local ball to improve the computation efficiency of bearing analysis. For validation purpose, the comparative analysis of the ball-raceway contact angles and loads of ball bearing under different operation conditions obtained by the proposed model and the Jones’ model with different raceway control hypotheses has been conducted. The results show that the proposed model has a higher applicability and rationality compared to the Jones’ model, and a proper moment load can be used to improve the load distribution and service performance of ball bearing subjected to the radial load.
