Abstract
Spinning cannot be ignored in some elastohydrodynamically lubricated contacts. In this paper, spinning is incorporated into an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contact of pure rolling and its influences on EHL films are studied. Results show that with increase in spinning, the symmetry of the film shape gets lost, and the minimum film thicknesses, located respectively at the two side-lobes, decrease and show more dependence on loads. The speed indices of the film thickness at the side lobes are higher than those of the classical EHL theory predicted. Numerical work has also been carried out to clarify the experiment measurements.
