Abstract This work investigates the roller skew of a tapered roller bearing. An experimental setup has been built to measure the roller skew angle in tapered roller bearings thanks to two inductive proximity sensors (IPS). Using the roller skew measured values, a numerical friction law at the rib-roller end contact is defined. In order to validate this friction model, the calculated skew angles are compared to the experimental values. The roller skew angle is calculated after the kinematic equilibrium analysis at each roller. Moreover, the effect of the load, inner-raceway rotational speed, oil temperature, and lubricant type on the skew is examined.

圆锥滚子轴承中滚子偏斜的实验和数值计算

摘要 这项工作研究了圆锥滚子轴承的滚子偏斜。由于两个电感式接近传感器 (IPS)，已经建立了一个实验装置来测量圆锥滚子轴承中的滚子偏斜角。使用滚子偏斜测量值，定义了挡边-滚子端部接触处的数值摩擦定律。为了验证该摩擦模型，将计算出的倾斜角与实验值进行比较。在每个滚子的运动平衡分析之后计算滚子倾斜角。此外，还检查了负载、内滚道转速、油温和润滑剂类型对偏斜的影响。
