Abstract
Finite element methods were used to analyze structurally potential cage (rolling element retainers) designs for use in high-speed tapered roller bearings. Included in this study were both roller and inner/outer race-guided types with geometric and material variations. Several cage designs were fabricated and experimentally tested. The performance criterion was to operate in a 108 mm bore bearing at speeds to 3.5 million DN. The Z-type completely machined and race-guided, exhibited the lowest calculated stress levels and performed best in the development tests.
