ABSTRACT: Load distribution in deep groove ball bearing has been
studied in this work. A deep groove ball bearing model is proposed basing on
geometry specific measurement. Two approaches (finite element method and
semi-analytical) have been used to determine the distribution of an external
radial force applied. These two approaches have been compared in terms of
computation time and precision. At the second point, a
deformable complex bearing housing has been integrated in the FEM ball bearing
model to assess the influence of its deformation on load distribution.
