Mixed Lubrication Analysis of Tapered Roller Bearings and Crowning Profile Optimization Based on Numerical Running-In Method
Tapered roller bearings (TRBs) are widely used in heavy-load rotating machinery.One of the technical problems in TRBs is the existence of sharp spikes of the contact pressure in the vicinity of the two ends of the tapered rollers.To suppress the pressure spikes at the roller ends, a straight roller profile is crowned in cylindrical and tapered roll
