Abstract in another language
Cage instability or highly dynamic cage movement can have a strong influence on the performance of rolling bearings. In addition to very loud and disturbing noises (“squealing”), bearing failure due to cage fracture can occur.
This publication deals with two topics: the general classification of cage motions on the one hand and the prediction of application-dependent cage motions to prevent cage instability during operation on the other hand. Therefore, the dependencies of the unstable cage movement on the bearing’s load and geometric characteristics of the cage are analyzed using a large number of sophisticated simulations, based on multi-body dynamics. To evaluate the cage movements, first a key figure called "Cage Dynamics Indicator" (CDI) is introduced, which is used to classify the simulation results by means of quadratic discriminant analysis into three types “unstable”, “stable” and “circling” (= classification of cage motion). Second, a machine learning algorithm trained and tested on the basis of more than 4 000 simulation results enables a time-efficient prediction of the physical correlations between bearing load and cage properties and the resulting cage dynamics (= prediction of cage motion). A comparison of the calculated cage dynamics with the results of an optical measurement of the cage dynamics rounds off this article. This comparison illustrates the high quality of the simulation models and the training data used for machine learning.
