Information

Roller Assembly

The number of rolling elements can be chosen arbitrarily in this model. The size of the cage will be adjusted accordingly to give correct clearance for each roller. The rotational speed of the roller is calculated explicitly to give the ideal rotational speed; i.e. it is not the friction forces that drive the rotation of the rollers. This is normally only a limitation for large bearings when smearing needs to be taken into account, when the roller element comes from an unloaded zone into a loaded zone.

For details of how the rollers are implemented, see the documentation of the RollerPart class.

It is also possible to simulate an outer ring bearing defect. A force is added around "twelve o’clock". It is applied as a powered-by-2 function. The size of the force is addForceOuterRingDefectAmplitude.

Following is a graphic showing how only the roller assembly will look with 12 rollers (missing cage, outer and inner ring).
