Abstract: The path of contact on the surface of a bearing ball is derived for pure spin and regular precession. Ball-race and ball-ball contacts are considered in a retainerless bearing. Track broadening ...

Abstract: A testing scheme is described for short-term evaluation of lubricant-breakdown rate in starved elastrohydrodynamic (EHD) rolling contacts. It is shown that the rate is strongly influenced by the ...

Abstract: A characteristic number, the basic speed ratio for an angular contact ball bearing, is defined and shown to be 1) accurately measurable; and 2) dependent on ball-race coupling. Some measurements ...

Abstract: An experimental method for ball-race slip measurement that includes a method for determining the geometry of an assembled bearing from easily and accurately measured parameters is presented herein. ...

Abstract: The 1962–1963 Lubrication Review brings together information on publications relating to several aspects of the broad field of lubrication. Although it does not cover all of the significant ...
