The term „bearing creep“ refers to irreversible relative movements in bearing seats. In general, two types of creep mechanisms can be distinguished: one rolling element-induced bearing creep and the other structure-induced bearing creep. Rolling element-induced creep results from deformations of the bearing ring, where the outer bearing ring moves in the rotational direction of the…
In mechanical engineering, bearing creep refers to the relative movement between a bearing’s outer or inner ring and its seating surface. In order to prevent the phenomenon of bearing creep, the relevant countermeasures can be categorized into two primary groups: those which pertain to the bearing itself, and those which pertain to the housing/shaft. From…
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…
