%0 Journal Article %T SPECIFIC PROBLEMS OF HIGH SPEED BEARINGS %A TRAIAN EUGEN BOLFA %A CORNEL SANDI BIT %J Journal of Engineering Studies and Research %D 2012 %I Vasile Alecsandri University of Bacau %X The requirements of very high performance (stress, rotational speed, stability to vibrations, etc.) for the compounds of mechanical engineering also involve an adequate fiability. The bearings can run at over 70 m/s peripheral speed of high fiability conditions (gas turbines in the aviation industry), with some high precessions and depressed frictions (gyroscopes, grinding broaches), with low/depressed noise and vibrations level. The increase of the bearings speed over the limits considered "ordinary" influences negatively the durability due to some kinematic, dynamic and lubrication significant changes. Major centrifugal forces appear, friction forces modify sensitively, starvation phenomenon occurs, and vibrations are established, too. %K cage %K starvation phenomenon in ball bearings %K lubricant's viscosity %K rings %U http://pubs.ub.ro/dwnl.php?id=JESR201201V18S01A0005
