In order to explore the distribution law of outer ring load of cylindrical roller bearings with fexible ring

a mechanical model based on rigid body ring theory and a finite element model with fexible ring were established

and the load distribution

stress-strain and vibration changes of outer ring under different loads and rotation speeds were solved and analyzed. The results show that

with the fexibility of the ring included

the bearing number changes from the theoretical four-roller load to six-roller load with the increase of load

and the contact stress of the outer ring is less than the stress value when only the four-roller load is counted at the same time. The increasing trend of the bearing area of the outer ring is consistent with the contact stiffness and tends to be symmetrical distribution. As the rotational speed increases

the bearing area of the outer ring increases linearly and shifts to the left. The load is the main factor affecting the bearing vibration. The bearing vibration value under the fexible ring is bigger than that under the rigid ring.
