A study of rolling bearing fatigue life with mineral oil lubrication

Tests on mineral oil lubricated deep groove ball bearings show that there is an optimum lubricant viscosity to ensure maximum rolling contact fatigue life. The results are explained by lubricant film thickness measurements and the application of E.H.L. theory. The optimum lubricant viscosity increas...

Zusammenfassung:Tests on mineral oil lubricated deep groove ball bearings show that there is an optimum lubricant viscosity to ensure maximum rolling contact fatigue life. The results are explained by lubricant film thickness measurements and the application of E.H.L. theory. The optimum lubricant viscosity increases with increase of load and decreases with reduction of speed.
