Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Electrical bearing currents, e.g. in inverted-fed electrical machines, may disturb the performance of the bearings via damaging (fluting) the raceway surfaces. In this paper the steady-state and transient temperature of the bearing surface at the electrical contact points between the balls and the raceway (a-spots) is derived in the mixed lubrication state, where metal-metal contacts are available. The thermal analysis is presented for electric contact model of Holm and Andreason. First analytical calculations are presented. Then FE-simulations are performed. Temperature-dependency of the electrical resistivity ρ is considered based on Wiedemann-Franz-Lorenz law. Sensitivity analyses for the contact dimensions are presented. The simulation results are compared to the findings of Holm, Andreason and Slade on the temperature-rise in the contact under the electric current flow.

The results are extended to predict the instantaneous contact-surface-temperature at the a-spots in an axial bearing (type 51208) at 500 min-1 with 1 A average bearing current and with an axial bearing force of 800 N. Moreover, the average of the contact-surface-temperature at the a-spots is obtained for the same bearing in a range of operating points, i.e. a speed from 0  min-1 to 3000 min-1, an average bearing current from 0.25 A to 3 A, at an axial bearing-force 800 N. The model can be utilized to predict the instantaneous contact temperature at the a-spots for any given bearing from the measured bearing voltage.
