This paper aims to prevent oil starvation and improve the service life of the rolling bearings.,A thrust ball bearing with magnetic circuit structure is proposed for ferrofluid lubrication. With the aid of magnetic field, ferrofluid can be maintained in the contact area of rolling bodies to delay lubricant loss. Experiments are performed to ensure the validity of the designed bearing.,Compared with conventional lubricant, service life of the ferrofluid lubricated bearing can be prolonged under magnetic field. In addition, with a proper magnetic field distribution, lubricant starvation may be limited under the conditions of present experiments.,This work provides a method to control the starved lubrication of rolling bearings with restricted lubricant supply.,The peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/ILT-04-2020-0132/

用于滚珠轴承的铁磁流体润滑以避免饥饿

本文旨在防止缺油和提高滚动轴承的使用寿命。,提出了一种磁路结构的推力球轴承用于铁磁流体润滑。在磁场的帮助下，铁磁流体可以保持在滚动体的接触区域，从而延缓润滑剂的流失。进行实验以确保设计的轴承的有效性。与常规润滑剂相比，铁磁流体润滑轴承在磁场下的使用寿命更长。此外，在适当的磁场分布下，在目前的实验条件下，润滑剂不足可能会受到限制。,这项工作提供了一种控制润滑剂供应受限的滚动轴承缺乏润滑的方法。,本文的同行评审历史是可在：https://publons.com/publon/10 获得。
