Abstract

An automotive wheel bearing is one of the most important components to guarantee the service life of a passenger car. The endurance life of a bearing is affected by many parameters such as material properties, heat treatment, lubrication conditions temperature loading conditions, bearing geometry, internal clearance and so on. In this paper, we calculate the endurance life of wheel bearing units and analyze the sensitivity of bearing geometric parameters on the life by using Taguchi method.
