Abstract
Numerical solutions are given for the pressure distribution and footprint shape of a roller in a roller bearing subjected to both radial load and misalignment. The method used makes it possible to profile the rollers axially until the longitudinal pressure distribution is either almost uniform or does not have any severe peaks, thereby increasing the bearing service life.Keywords
