Aiming at the problem of size effect in the process of fatigue life analysis of slewing bearings, the fatigue life analysis of slewing bearings is carried out and the influencing law of size effect is studied in depth. By establishing the contact load calculation model and determining the contact force distribution, combined with the Lundberg-Palmgren theory, the fatigue life of slewing bearings with different sizes is calculated. The coupling relationship between ball number and diameter, the influence of raceway center circle diameter and other parameters on the fatigue life of slewing bearings are analyzed, and the size effect of slewing bearings on the fatigue life is discussed, which provides reference for the design and selection of slewing bearings. The results show that reducing the groove curvature coefficient, increasing the contact angle and the raceway center circle diameter can increase the service life of slewing bearings. The influence of ball diameter change on the service life of slewing bearings is greater than that of the change of the raceway center circle diameter, and the increase of contact angle will enhance the size effect, while the increase of groove curvature coefficient will weaken the effect.
当量动载荷Pea是一个假定的具有恒定方向和大小的载荷,表示轴承在运行过程中承受负荷的大小,其目的是在轴承疲劳寿命相同的情况下用均匀受力去等效实际受力. ISO 281中有两个关于Pea计算的表达式,一个是经验公式,另一个是包含接触力的表达式,如式(16)所示,该公式相较于经验公式能更全面地分析各参数对Pea的影响,因此采用式(16)结合所建接触载荷计算模型式(11)来求解Pea.
