  • To improve the lubrication efficiency and application range of bearing jet lubrication, the causes and influencing factors of the air curtain effect within high-speed angular contact ball bearings were investigated. Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a finite element analysis model was constructed for the single-phase flow field characteristics within the bearing chamber. The flow field characteristics of the bearing under different guide/pocket clearances and rotational speeds were analyzed. Based on the Q criterion in the second generation vortex recognition technology, the evaluation method and evaluation standard for the air curtain effect were put forward; and the formation mechanism of air curtain within the bearing chamber was analyzed. The effects of different rotational speeds, guide clearances, and pocket clearances on the air curtain effect were compared. The main influencing factors of the air curtain effect were analyzed using an orthogonal experimental method. The results showed that the air curtain effect within the bearing chamber intensified as the bearing speed increased. Increasing the guide and pocket clearances can reduce the air curtain effect. The impact of rotational speed on the air curtain effect was much greater than the impact of cage clearance changes. The pocket clearance had a more significant influence on the bearing’s air curtain effect compared with the guide clearance.
