Rolling Bearing Lubrication Theory

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bearing Tribology

Abstract

If the lubrication between the rolling element and raceway for the rolling bearing is insufficient, scratches, pitting, and scuffing to different extend will be caused on the rolling elements and raceway, meanwhile, whether the proper lubricant film can be formed or not is important for the fatigue lifetime of the contact area between the rolling elements and the raceway.
