Thermal-induced influences considered spindle unit angular contact ball bearing preload determination using embedded fiber Bragg gating sensors

As the most important segment of the spindle unit angular contact ball bearing, the preload significantly influences the bearing characteristics. Thus, the thermal-induced preload derived from the thermal expansion of spindle unit components also affects the increase in bearing temperature, stiffnes...

description As the most important segment of the spindle unit angular contact ball bearing, the preload significantly influences the bearing characteristics. Thus, the thermal-induced preload derived from the thermal expansion of spindle unit components also affects the increase in bearing temperature, stiffness, fatigue life, and ball skidding significantly. However, such preload is hard to monitor and analyze. Thus, in this article, the authors presented a fiber Bragg gating sensor-based structure for the identification of thermal-induced bearing preload. In addition, a bearing total preload control mechanism was designed with an emphasis on its thermal component. Based on the comparison of the shaft and the outer ring deformation temperature increases measured by embedded fiber Bragg gating sensors, the reasonable bearing preload range was achieved based on Hirano’s theory. Finally, the conclusions provide a reference for improving the performance of angular contact ball bearings and reducing the spindle vibration.
