High Speed Cylindrical Roller Bearing Development.

High speed experimental tests provided data on six parametric cylindrical roller bearings. Four bearing variables were evaluated and the results were correlated with the analytical model developed under Naval Air Propulsion Center Contract N00140-76-C-0383 with support form the Air Force Aero Propulsion Laboratory MIPRFY14557600623. Roller end clearance was found to have a significant effect on roller end and guide flange wear, whereas the variables roller end circular runout and inner ring guide flange height were both observed to have a moderate effect on water.
