ABSTRACT:
A test bearing is adapted from a standard production bearing for recording the location and magnitude of load applied to the bearing when installed and operated in its intended environment. A groove is typically formed in the stationary raceway of a cylindrical or tapered roller bearing and a relatively soft ductile wire is inserted into the groove. A plurality of axially spaced circumferential grooves may be fitted with wires for the determination of any potentional misalignment of the bearing. The bearing is then operated under normal conditions such that the inserted wires are plastically deformed. The extent of plastic deformation of the wire provides an accurate indication of the loading of the bearing.
