Improvement of Durability of Hybrid Ceramic Ball Bearings in Liquid Hydrogen at 3 Million DN (120,000 rpm)

The durability of a hybrid ceramic 25-mm-bore ball bearing having a single outer land-guided retainer was evaluated and improved in liquid hydrogen at speeds up to 120,000 rpm (120,000 min-1) (3 million DN) by comparing the propagation of superficial thermal microcracks on Si3N4 balls at various spe...

description The durability of a hybrid ceramic 25-mm-bore ball bearing having a single outer land-guided retainer was evaluated and improved in liquid hydrogen at speeds up to 120,000 rpm (120,000 min-1) (3 million DN) by comparing the propagation of superficial thermal microcracks on Si3N4 balls at various speeds. To select a tough Si3N4 ball capable of restraining crack propagation, bearing tests were conducted for three kinds of the Si3N4 balls with different jet-cooling systems. The test results showed that the Si3N4 ball having high fracture toughness as well as high thermal shock resistance could restrain the propagation of wide-ditch microcracks.
