This paper suggests a method to design the deep groove ball bearing for high-load capacity by using a genetic algorithm. The design problem of ball bearings is a typical discrete/continuous optimization problem because the deep groove ball bearing has discrete variables, such as ball size and number of balls. Thus, a genetic algorithm is employed to find the optimum values from a set of discrete design variables. The ranking process is proposed to effectively deal with the constraints in genetic algorithm. Results obtained fer several 63 series deep groove ball bearings demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed design methodology by showing that the average basic dynamic capacities of optimally designed bearings increase about 9~34% compared with the standard ones.

탄성 유체 윤활은 윤활 표면의 탄성변형이 중요하게 다뤄지는 윤활의 형태로, 주로 로울러 베어링이나 기어와 같이 선접촉 집중하중을 받는 기계요소와 관련이 많다고 할 수 있다. 역사적으로 볼때 탄성 유체 윤활은 20 세기에 들어서 윤활 분야에서 획기적인 발전을 해온 것 중의 하나라고 볼 수 있으며, 윤활상태의 폭넓은 해석 뿐만아니라 전에는 고려하지 못했던 큰하중을 받는 기계요소들에 대한 윤활상태를 규명하는데 지대한 역할을 할 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 한편 오래전 부터 실험적으로 탄성유체윤활을 해석함에 있어서 우선 고전적인 Reynolds 윤활 방정식에 윤활제의 유성특성인 고압하에서의 점성의 압력 의존성이 대단히 큰 피에조 점성효과를 고려하지 않으면 안된다. 나아가 등점도 조건하에서 재료의 탄성 변형을 함께 고려하여 연립 방정식의 형태로 구성해서 피에조 효과에서 발생하는 강한 비선형성을 갖는 대수 방정식의 해를 구하는 방안을 강구해야 한다.

상대 접촉하고 있는 물체에 미끄럼 운동이 가해질 경우 마찰에 의해 발생되는 거의 모든 에너지는 열로써 나타나게 된다. 이러한 마찰열은 주로 adhered junctions의 파괴 및 표면돌기(surface asperities)들의 소성 변형에 의한 열역할적 비가역 반응의 결과로 발생된다. 접촉부위의 발생열은 양 접촉제의 접촉면에 전달되어 접촉표면 온도의 급격한 증가를 초래하며 그 결과로 여러가지 surface phenomena, 즉 마찰, 마모, 산화(oxidation), 부식 및 구조적 열화(structural degradation) 금속학적 상변화등에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 딸서 볼 및 로울링 엘레먼트 베어링, 기어, 캠과 태핏, 브레이크 등 기계요소의 설계를 위한 주인자로서 근래에 들어 접촉표면의 온도가 주목받고 있다. 표면에 존재하는 layer로서는 금속표면에 응착시킨 coating layers, contaminant films, physisorbed 또는 chemisorbed films, oxide layers 또는 마찰열에 의해 형성되는 경도가 아주 높은 내마모층(hard wear-resistant layers) 등이 고려될수 있다. 낮은 열전도성을 가진 oxide film이 접촉 표면이 온도를 증가시킨다는 것이 Jaeger에 의해 지적되었으며 Ling과 Lai는 moving heat sjource가 가해지는 layered surface의 표면온도분포를 구하면서 substrate와 thermal property가 다른 layer가 존재하게 되면 그 두께가 아주 얇더라도 (1 마이크론 정도) 표면온도는 크게 변화됨을 보였다.

This paper deals with a premature failure mechanism of deep grooved ball bearing for automobiles. A close examination of used bearings revealed that the premature failure could be arose by dents on the ball. Universal testing machine with specially designed tools is used to simulate the practical dents on the ball and test bearings are assembled with dented balls and new hearing components. The endurance test results showed that the dents on the balls were printed on the races and these phenomena come to premature failure.

In this paper, the dent printing phenomena and critical dent size which lead to premature failure of deep grooved ball bearing for automobiles are presented. The results of newly assembled test bearings showed that the ball dent size strongly affect the bearing life and inner ring raceways were the major failed parts in spite of using the dented balls. The dent printing phenomena are a root cause of premature failure, which was not reported until now. And there exist the critical ball dent size for given rolling bearings and operating conditions. So, the initial condition of tribologically mating parts should be treated as important as the failed body itself.

The failures such as flaking, wear, crack and seizing caused by the high contact pressure accompanied with sliding motion between inner or outer ring and ball are potential failures of ball bearing. In this research, we have qualitatively selected the efficient test items through the analysis of the life and potential failures of ball bearing. The bearing's failures are related closely to the whole system in using the bearing. So, the bearing itself requires an estimation of life in order to opreate the system safely. We have tested ten ball bearings. Our research has applied both radial and axial direction force of maximum torque conditions simultaneously for the accelerated life testing. The result is established by employing the weibull plot and compared the predicted life of ball bearing to the experimental result.

The linear motion(LM) guide using ball bearing has many advantages compared with conventional sliding guides. Therefore, LM guide using ball bearing has been widely used to increase the accuracy of the position of a system. This research investigates dynamic characteristics of LM guide through mainly linear analyses. Linear analysis is accomplished by Lagrange equation and the finite element method. And another trial that performs nonlinear analysis about one mode(bouncing mode) of LM guide from Hertzian contact theory is accomplished in the latter half of this research. Through nonlinear analysis we could observe the softening characteristic due to the Hertzian contact nonlinearity.

It has been widely known that geometrical or form errors of ball bearings such as ball size error, ball waviness, inner and outer race waviness due to inherent manufacturing imperfection are one of the major sources of uncontrollable non-repeatable run-out (NRRO) vibration in HDD spindle motor. NRRO in HDD is also known to be the primary cause of limiting the storage capacity of HDD. In this paper, We performed vibration analysis for NRRO a ball bearing being used in 3.5" HDD spindle motor. To theoretically estimate NRRO considering the geometrical errors of ball bearing components, a simple three degrees of freedom model was proposed and then vibration analysis for axial and radial NRRO was conducted utilizing the measured geometric imperfection of a bearing with both the waviness magnitude and phase taken into account. Effects of bearing preload and clearance on NRRO was also investigated as an effort to predict their optimum values minimizing bearing NRRO.

This paper presents a method to investigate the characteristics of a ball bearing and the dynamics of a HDD spindle system due to temperature variation. Finite element model is developed fer the rotating and stationary parts of a HDD spindle system separately to determine their thermal deformations by using ANSYS, a finite element program. Then, the relative position of the rotating part with respect to the stationary part is determined by solving the equilibrium equation of the contact force between upper and lower ball bearings. The validity of the proposed method is verified by comparing the theoretical natural frequencies of a HDD spindle system with the experimental ones before and after temperature variation. It shows that the elevated temperature results in the increase of contact angle and the decrease of bearing deformation, contact force and bearing stiffness, which result in the decrease of the natural frequencies of a HDD spindle system.

A pneumatic cylinder used to sliding seal which seal the element one to another in relative motion. It is difficult to accuracy control because of adhesion phenomenon. To confirm this phenomenon, it is carried to friction force test and analysis for bellows type rodless cylinder. In the rodless cylinder of this type, friction force test is very important. Through the theoretical analysis of shock absorber obtained the optimal design of bellows type rodless cylinder. As the result of the friction force test, LM Guide type is suitable for work under low friction force.
