• hydrodynamic lubrication

A calculating model for roller-pocket rotation and mechanics analysis is established to investigate the hydrodynamic lubrication between rollers and straight-sided cage pockets in a cylindrical roller bearing. An algorithm for calculating roller-pocket oil film pressure and film thickness is developed. Hydrodynamic lubrication simulation of the roller-pocket clearances is carried out. Effects of inner ring rotation speed, cage angular acceleration, roller profile and cage geometry on roller-pocket oil film performance are numerically studied. Some regular curves and conclusions are obtained and analyzed.
