Abstract

Abstract : With the continuous advancement in bearing speed, bearing assembly clearance (pocket, radial, and guide clearances) has a particularly significant impact on dynamic characteristics of bearing. In order to improve its performance, it is necessary to generate an optimized design for assembly clearance based on dynamic analysis. In this paper, a dynamic model of cylindrical roller bearing has been put forth based on the variable step fourth-order Runge–Kutta method, while the simulation results have been verified by a high-speed bearing cage motion testing machine. Considering pocket, radial, and guide clearances as independent variables and maximum impact force, whirl deviation ratio, and minimum power loss as the objectives, a multiobjective optimized model of cylindrical roller bearing has been developed using central composite experimental design (CCD) and response surface method. After optimization, the maximum impact force was reduced by 9.26%, the whirl deviation ratio was reduced by 2.87%, and power loss was reduced by 1.45%.
