Abstract

It is essential to establish a dynamic model of angular contact ball bearing with clearance for investigating the nonlinear dynamic behavior. In traditional dynamic model, the elastic contact force model is employed to describe the contact-impact process, which ignores the energy loss and causes lower precision analysis. In order to obtain the dynamic behavior of ball bearing more accurately, a novel dynamic model of angular contact ball bearing with clearance is proposed in this work, which considers the elastic deformation and energy dissipation. The effectiveness of proposed model for angular contact ball bearing is demonstrated by experiment test. The simulation results are agree with the experimental data. And, the simulation results also represent that the existence of clearance increases the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of angular contact ball bearing and contact force plays a significant role in the dynamic analysis of angular contact ball bearing. The motion state of ball is mainly characterized by the phases. In addition, the effects of driving speed and external load on the dynamic behavior of angular contact ball bearing are also conducted.
