Some characteristics of rolling-element bearings under oscillating conditions. Part 2: Experimental results for interference-fitted taper-roller bearings
Some stiffness and damping characteristics are presented for taper-roller bearings with interference fits. The major parameters investigated were preload, temperature, lubricant viscosity, excitation frequency, excitation amplitude, and rotational speed. The prediction, based on a model of the bearings, that stiffness and damping would effectively be independent of oil viscosity was confirmed.
