description Integrated bearings, characterized by their unique structure, feature an inner ring that is seamlessly integrated with the shaft. This study is based on the theoretical framework of rolling bearing dynamics and considers bearing friction, lubrication, and Hertz elastic contact theory. A dynamic simulation model considering the interaction between the components of the rolling bearing is established. Additionally, a subroutine for calculating the interaction forces between the bearing components was written in C and compiled into a dynamic link library, which was then integrated with the dynamic simulation software. To solve and simulate the dynamics of the integrated bearing model, a sophisticated combination of a refined integration method and the predictor-corrector Adams–Bashforth–Moulton multistep technique was employed. The theoretical analysis offers insights into the vibration characteristics of the integrated bearings across different structural and operational parameters. Results indicate that a judicious selection of parameters, such as the curvature radius ratio of the inner and outer grooves and the gap of the cage pockets, can significantly enhance the bearings’ vibration and noise reduction capabilities. Furthermore, the application of an appropriate axial preload effectively reduces bearing vibrations, and there exists an optimal range of rotational speeds that minimizes these vibrations.
