Characteristics Of Indirect Measurement Method For Axial Load

What is Ball Bearings

Ball bearing is a kind of rolling bearing, the spherical alloy steel ball is installed in the middle of the inner and outer steel ring, in the rolling way to reduce the friction in the process of power transmission and improve the efficiency of mechanical power transmission. Ball bearings, which can not bear large heavy loads, are common in light industrial machinery. Ball bearings are also called ball bearings.

Characteristics of Ball Bearings

Rolling bearing (rolling bearing) than journal bearing (journal bearing) rotation friction resistance is small, so at the same speed, because the temperature generated by friction will be lower. Ball bearings are generally used in low - load mechanical transmission equipment. Because the bearing area of ball bearings is small, it is easy to suffer serious mechanical damage at high speed, so needle roller bearings are often adopted in the mechanical transmission of heavy load to increase the bearing surface, improve the mechanical transmission efficiency, and reduce the mechanical damage.

Application of Ball Bearings

Different types of ball bearings may have different applications, let’s check them out:

Angular Contact Bearings: designed to work under combined radial and axial loads.

Axial Bearings: also called thrust ball bearings, these are designed to work under the force applied parallel to the bearing's axis, or thrust loads.

Deep-Groove Bearings: designed to carry both radial and light axial loads.

Linear Bearings: designed to allow movement in one direction along a linear axis.

Self-aligning Ball Bearings: bearings with two sets of balls that are self-aligning and to carry both radial and light axial loads.

High-Speed Angular Contact Bearings: another type of precision ball bearing is a high-speed angular contact bearing. As the name implies, high-speed bearings are designed to handle high RPMs with precision and accuracy.

Characteristics of indirect measurement method for axial load

Compared with other traditional axial load measurement methods, the indirect measurement method of ball bearing axial load mainly has the following advantages:

1. The measurement accuracy is controllable. If higher measurement accuracy is needed, a more comprehensive measurement parameter should be proposed for measurement.

2.Each component of axial load can be measured. The axial load of the ball bearing is composed of several components superimposed, and the indirect measurement method of axial load can output each axial force component, which is beneficial to the analysis and adjustment of the axial force of the whole engine.

3. The rotor axial force of the engine can be measured in real time. Through the indirect measurement program of axial load, the axial force of engine can be displayed in real time during engine bench test, which provides a basis for engine condition monitoring.

4.The measurement method is simple and does not need to modify the engine structure. During engine bench test, it is necessary to measure a lot of parameters to verify the engine design level. In this method, the axial load measurement of ball bearings can be carried out by selecting relevant measurement parameters (some parameters can be supplemented appropriately).

However, this method also has some shortcomings, the most important one is that it needs to measure the parameters of the engine comprehensively. In the engine trial production stage, comprehensive parameter measurement can be carried out. However, in the batch production stage, it can not meet the requirements of a large number of parameters measurement, it is necessary to use other methods to achieve the measurement of ball bearing axial load.
