Development aims
Developing a tool for analyzing one-side contact conditions
Helping speed up the development process by proposing optimal bearing materials and designs
Confirming effectiveness
EHL analysis – verifying one-side contact conditions
What the main bearing looks like from the outside after a durability evaluation is performed
Left-side figure: Rectangles indicate contact- and wear-occurrence positions.
Right-side figure:Contoured green/red sections indicate contact-occurrence positions.
Results of EHL analysis: contact pressure distribution
Seizure criteria
Testing conditions:Number of revolutions, peripheral speed, set load, one-side contact angle
