Abstract

Skidding is a phenomenon that frequently occurs in ball–raceway contact areas of bearings and often leads to their early failure. This paper presents a skidding analysis of angular contact ball bearings (ACBBs) subjected to various boundary conditions. A five degrees-offreedom quasi-static model for ACBBs was employed to investigate skidding with ball and race contact forces and inertial loading by rotational speed. The model provided the internal load distribution of all rolling elements, which was subsequently used for the skidding prediction. Hirano’s criterion was used as a theoretical basis for the skidding analysis of ACBBs. Simulations were performed to investigate the influence of external loading, rotational speed, and angular misalignment on the bearing skidding. The effects of the preload method and initial contact angle on the skidding were also considered. As a result, this study provided an in-depth observation of skidding in ACBBs subjected to various operating conditions.
