Improvement of Durability of Hybrid Ceramic Ball Bearings in Liquid Hydrogen at 3 Million DN (120,000 rpm)

The durability of a hybrid ceramic 25-mm-bore ball bearing having a single outer land-guided retainer was evaluated and improved in liquid hydrogen at speeds up to 120,000 rpm (120,000 min-1) (3 million DN) by comparing the propagation of superficial thermal microcracks on Si3N4 balls at various spe...
