This paper presents the contact stress distributions between the multi-contact bodies and the total reaction forces for various types of contact geometry for multi-load slewing ring bearings. The FEM results indicate that the slope of the roller type of slewing ring bearing has slightly steeper than that of the ball type. This is because the roller type wire race bearings is stiffer than the ball type bearing. The total reaction force of ball type slewing bearing shows much higher than that of wire race slewing bearings.

To overcome the large ring gear manufacturing problems seen in slewing bearings and girth gears, pin gear drive units have been developed. Among them, a novel slewing bearing with an internal pinwheel gear set (i-PGS) is introduced in this paper. First, we consider the exact cam pinion profile of i-PGS with the introduction of a profile shift coefficient. Furthermore, a new root relief profile modification for the i-PGS cam pinion is presented. Then, the contact stresses are investigated to determine the characteristics of the surface fatigue by varying the shape design parameters. The results show that the contact stresses of i-PGS can be reduced significantly by increasing the profile shift coefficient. In addition, the contact ratio, a measure of teeth overlapping action, decreases with the decrease of the allowable pressure angle.

This study focuses on the analysis of slewing ball bearings in wind turbines. Slewing bearings have an outer diameter of several meters, and hundreds of balls are in contact with the raceway. Due to the large number of balls and raceway contact conditions, it is difficult to accurately analyze contact stresses using general analysis techniques. To analyze the contact stress of a slewing ball bearing, the sub-modeling method is applied, which is a technique that first analyzes the displacement of the entire model and then analyzes the local stress at the point of maximum displacement. In order to reduce the displacement analysis time of the entire ball bearing, the technique of replacing the ball with a nonlinear spring is adopted. The analytical agreement of the simplified model was evaluated by comparing it with a solid mesh model of the ball for three models with different spring attachment methods. It was found that for the condition where a large turnover moment is applied to the bearing, increasing the number of spring elements gives the closest results to modeling the ball with a solid mesh.

The pin-gear drive is a special form of fixed-axle gear mechanism. A large wheel with cylindrical pin teeth is called a pinwheel. As pinwheels are rounded, they have a simple structure, easy processing, low cost, and easy overhaul compared with general gears. They are also suitable for low-speed, heavy-duty mechanical transmission and for occasions with more dust, poor lubrication, etc. This paper introduces a novel slewing ring bearing with an external pinwheel gear set (e-PGS). First, we consider the exact cam pinion profile of the e-PGS with the introduction of a profile shift. Then, the contact stresses are investigated to determine the characteristics of the surface fatigue by varying the shape design parameters. The results show that the contact stresses of the e-PGS can be lowered significantly by increasing the profile shift coefficient.

A slewing reducer consists of two planetary gearsets which require a good load distribution over the gear tooth flank for enhanced durability. This work investigates how the bearing characteristics influence the load distribution over the gear tooth flank. A complete system model is developed to analyze a slewing reducer, including the non-linear mesh stiffness of the gears and the non-linear stiffness of bearings. The results indicate that the type, arrangement and preload of the output shaft bearings greatly influence the gear mesh misalignment, contact pattern, face load factor, gear safety factor and lifetimes of the parts.

The loading test of wind turbine pitch and yaw bearings have been conducted using special test rig designed for the test of large slewing bearings. Test type was fatigue test that applied fatigue load to each bearing and followed the defined test process. Measurement data during test were rotational torque and raceway temperature, and inspected key components by disassembling the bearing after all test finished. As a results, the raceway temperature during test did not exceed the operational temperature range of lubricant and rotational torque was reduced as the bearing's rotational cycle increased. In the inspection of key components, some plastic deformation and flaking were detected at some raceway sections while other components such as ball, spacer and seal remain indefective conditions.

저고도 비행으로 접근하는 적 비행 체계를 신속한 대응 사격으로 제압하는 대공화기용 특수 차량에 차체와 포탑의 회전동력 전달에 선회 베어링이 적용되고 있다. 특수 차량의 전투 임무 수행 과정에서 포탑 하중과 사격 시 발생되는 충격 하중 등이 복합적으로 작용할 때 구조적 안정성이 확보되어야 성공적인 기능 발휘가 가능하다. 선회 베어링의 구성품 중 링기어, 롤러 및 와이어 레이스의 형상과 소재 특성을 고려하여 차량의 포탑 구동과 사격에 의해 작용하는 복합 하중에 대한 구성품의 안정성을 평가하고자 하였다. 안정성 평가를 위한 연구 방법으로는 공학 이론을 바탕으로 구성품의 강도 특성을 수치적 계산을 통해 살펴보고, 다음으로 상용 해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하여 구성 부품들에 대한 유한 요소 해석을 수행하였다. 이론적 해석과 유한 요소 해석 결과의 상호 비교 결과 매우 유사함을 확인할 수 있었다. 해석 중심으로 수행된 선회 베어링에 대한 구조 안정성 평가 결과로 보아 국산화 개발초기 예비 설계 단계에서 결정한 선회 베어링의 설계 강도가 충분함을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 풍력발전기용 베어링의 응력저감을 위한 설계와 검증에 관한 것이다. 일반적인 4점 접촉 볼베어링의 구조를 가지고 있는 슬루잉 베어링은 큰 모멘트 하중이 작용하면 접촉점이 레이스웨이 끝단부로 이동하여 국부적인 응력상승 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 접점 이동을 줄이기 위한 베어링을 설계하였다. 전통적인 볼베어링과 새로인 설계된 베어링의 극한하중 하에서의 변형거동을 볼을 스프링요소로 치환하여 유한요소해석을 통하여 계산하였다. 볼과 레이스웨이의 접촉응력은 변형거동 해석결과를 경계조건으로 입력하여 유한요소해석으로 계산하였다. 베어링 구조에 따른 접촉부 응력 비교를 통하여 베어링의 응력해석 방법의 효용성을 검증하였다.
