Abstract
Proper thermal management of bearing is extremely important, because high temperature beyond its operational limit can degrade material and lubricant properties, causing an unexpected failure. This research aims to investigate the thermal characteristics of an angular contact ball bearing. First, we have built an in-house program to predict the bearing’s temperature and heat generation. Accurate estimation of oil volume fraction inside the bearing cavity is necessary for accurate prediction of heat generation, thus we improved Parker’s formula to match it with fluid dynamics simulation. The in-house program was then verified with respect to our high-speed, high-load, high-temperature experiment. A series of parametric studies was also conducted to identify the effects of each operation parameters to the bearing’s temperature and heat.
