Roller bearings are an essential component in machine systems. Point or line loads act in the bearing rings, which are superimposed with a rotation. The resulting elastic deformations of the bearing rings lead to a relative movement between the outer bearing ring and housing or inner bearing ring and shaft. This relative movement accumulates over time and can lead to wear in the contact surfaces. This phenomenon has been the subject of IKAT’s dynamic simulation research ever since. Numerous research projects deal with design methods and analyses to prevent ring creep.
