Electrical Field Strength in Rough Infinite Line Contact Elastohydrodynamic Conjunctions

Rolling element bearings are required to operate in a variety of use cases that determine voltage potentials will form between the rolling elements and races. When the electrical field strength causes the dielectric breakdown of the intermediary lubricant film electrical discharge can damage the bea...
