“Fail-Safe” Concept and Reliability in High-Speed Bearing Arrangements for Aerospace Turbomachinery

  • Chapter
Vibration and Wear in High Speed Rotating Machinery

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 174))

Abstract

Outlined fatigue life testing results indicate an endurance life for bearings and the possibility for a “fail-safe” bearing concept. For reliability improvements the capabilities of the new case hardening M50NiL steel as well as the effects of contamination/rolling contact surface damages on bearing life were investigated.
