✦ Synopsis

A review is presented of the methods and r e s u l t s of three research groups which have investigated the s t i f f n e s s and damping of r o l l i n g element hearings. The most s i g n i f i c a n t parameters a r e shown t o be type of bearing, a s i a l preload, clearance/interference, speed and lubricant. The relevance of the measured c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s t o the design of spindle systems i s a l s o discussed, p a r t i c u l a r l y the w y i n which spindle systems a r e modelled. c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s is discussed.

Finally the r e l a t i v e importance of radial and tilt (clamping)
