...Zhixiang Zhao; Xi Wang; Yu Hou Roller skew in roller bearings can cause heat generation in roller–race and roller–rib contacts, thus reducing bearing life. It is significant to obtain the roller skew angle in situ for guiding the bearing design and adjusting the operating conditions. In this study...

... with a previously developed SRB dynamic bearing model (DBM). The experimental and analytical results indicate that the roller tilt angle increases with axial load, remains constant with speed, and decreases with increasing radial load when the roller is located in the load zone. Further, roller skew in the load...

... of slip velocity and contact area was then carried out to identify how bearing load and inner race (IR) speed variations change slip velocity and skew at the roller–race contact. The results from this investigation demonstrate that roller skew increases with IR speed, while the roller tilt remains...
