摘要
A calculation method of fatigue life for slewing bearings under combined radial, axial and tilting moment loads was proposed. Single row four-point contact ball slewing bearing being used as a case, the statics model of the slewing bearing was established and a set of equilibrium equations were obtained. By solving the equilibrium equatioas, the rolling element loads were obtained and the equivalent rolling element loads were calculated further. By using the geometrical parameters of the bearing, the rating rolling element loads were calculated, and the fa- tigue life of the bearing was calculated by using the rating rolling element loads and the equivalent rolling element loads. A calculation example shows the feasibility of the proposed method.
