Wpływ prądów łożyskowych na uszkodzenia łożysk tocznych silników indukcyjnych dużej mocy

The negative influence of bearing currents on the durability of rolling bearings in the alternating current electric motors are shown. The reasons of bearing current formation in electric motors are given. Examples of bearing races damages of cooperating rolling bearing elements are presented. Analysis of dents distribution in the roller, roll-neck and ball bearing races are made. The method of calculation of angular and circumferential scale between dents in the rolling bearing races rings are presented.
