Abstract
- This paper provides the dynamic model of an angular-contact ball bearing–elastic rotor system to study its dynamic characteristics when an asymmetric support mode is used. After defining global and local coordinate systems, necessary vectors (such as position, velocity, force and moment vector) are calculated according to the geometric relationship between each part (ball, cage and ring) of the bearing. The interactive forces between each part are obtained based on lubrication theory and Hertz contact theory. A typical rotor is discretized by finite element method (FEM) and each node of the rotor has 5 degrees of freedom (DOFs). Some constraint equations are built to form a coupled dynamic model of angular-contact ball bearing–elastic rotor system. The validity of this coupled model is verified by comparing the numerical results and experimental data. After analyzing the coupled model, it is found that the vibration spectrum of rotor includes the VC (varying compliance) frequencies of two bearings, the bending resonance frequency of rotor and the rotating frequency when the system has asymmetric ball bearings. Moreover, when the preloading forces of bearings increase, the support stiffness becomes larger and the rotor displacement decreases; moreover, the motions of balls and cage become more stable. Generally, the presented coupled model can be applied to analyze the vibration features of all parts in any ball bearing–rotor system comprehensively.
