Radial Clearance is key factor Affecting Roller Bearing Life Predictionin Tri-cone Bit

The life of tri-cone bits will directly affect the economic and technical drilling target.Inorder to control and evaluate bits life,the paper builds up the calculating mathematical model,whichis suitable for determination of tri-cone bits life,to rationally design the radial clearance of nonstandard bearings.Effect of the radial clearance on the life of roller bearing was systematicallydeduced.The larger the radial clearance is; the higher the contact stress is; and the shorter the rollerbearing life is.It follows from the model that the key factor of the radial clearance should be taken intoconsideration besides structure data and anti-friction pairs heat treatment of roller bearing in order todecrease the contact stress of anti-friction pair and prolong the bits life.
