High-speed running bearings generate a large amount of heat, which has a significant impact on the accuracy of machine tool feeding system. In this paper, by applying the bearing proposed statics and local heat source method, considering the combined surface contact thermal resistance and lubricant viscous temperature characteristics of the influence of the thermal network method to determine the main thermal characteristics of the shaft system parameters, the establishment of the transient thermal equilibrium equations, in the iterative process of the shaft system temperature field and deformation of the coupling; through the solution, the bearing temperature field and the transient change of the thermal parameters of the characteristics of the bearing, analyze the working conditions and structural parameters of the bearing transient thermal characteristics curve; using the finite element method coupled field simulation and test bed test, to verify the theoretical model is reasonable. The influence of working conditions and structural parameters on the transient thermal characteristic curve of the bearing is analyzed. The reasonableness of the theoretical model is verified by using the finite element method coupled field simulation and test bench test. After in-depth analysis: no matter the initial clearance or the change of rotational speed and load, it will lead to the change of thermal equilibrium temperature of the bearings, and will produce heat-induced load. Therefore, by choosing the appropriate clearance, improving the viscosity of lubricant, and enhancing the air convection, the heat generation and thermal deformation can be effectively reduced, which provides an important method to support the optimization of the bearing structure and the design of thermal balance.
