Abstract
Authors propose a theoretical model and an experimental methodology for defining the friction torque in a modified thrust ball bearing, operating in mixed and full film lubrication conditions.The friction torque was measured at low loads and large Λ parameter range using a spin-down method.A comprehensive analytical bearing torque model is described using elastic rolling resistance, curvature effects, inertia forces, disc-air resistance and ball-races hydrodynamic rolling forces, the latter explaining 98% of the final bearing torque. Several sets of hydrodynamic rolling force relationships respecting the transition from IVR to EHL lubrication regime were tested. Final numerical results are shown to be very close to the experimental ones in both full film and mixed lubrication conditions.
