Preliminary Comparison of 17- and 75-millimeter-bore Cageless Cylindrical Roller Bearings with Conventional Cylindrical Roller Bearings at High Speeds

Abstract

Preliminary results at high speeds indicate lower bearing temperatures, less internal bearing wear, and greater reliability of the conventional, cage-type cylindrical roller bearings than of either full-complement or special cageless roller bearings of the types investigated, although the latter bearing types have been operated successfully to DN values of 1.0 X 10 superscript 6
