The Influences of Race Failure on Ball Motions in a Radial Ball Bearing under Static Moment Loading

In recent years, a new measuring method utilizing the Hall effect for three dimensional ball motion has been developed. The reliability of the data was confirmed by comparing the data obtained by this new method with those obtained by the induction coil method. The components of the angular valocity of ball motion and the alteration of contact angle during one cage revolution were analyzed, based on the data by the new method, and the influences of race failure on ball motion under static moment loading were investigated.
