Abstract


Wear of bearing cage windows is one of the primary causes of accelerated deterioration of bearing functionality. The occurrence of bearing cage wear is influenced by a multitude of factors that can vary from the manufacturing process of the cage windows to the carrying capacity and degree of bearing loading and the degree of wear of the machine tools used to obtain the sheet metal bearing cage windows. This paper highlights the main aspects, both from a theoretical point of view through finite element analysis (FEA), and from an experimental point of view through the analysis of some process parameters, which influence some quality characteristics of the bearing cages.
