To address the limitations and one-sidedness issues in unidimensional analysis of wind turbine three-row cylindrical roller bearing simulations under single-variable operating conditions
this study establishes a comprehensive rigid multibody contact dynamics simulation framework for spindle bearing systems under operational loading. A comparative analysis is conducted between models incorporating and omitting the transmission path considerations. Systematic investigations are performed on cage-roller kinematic behavior through theoretical velocity computations
simulated rotational dynamics
and acceleration response characterizations. The model is verified through rigorous verification procedures
enabling detailed examination of interfacial force characteristics between rolling elements and raceways in three-row cylindrical roller bearing configurations. Key findings demonstrate that transmission path integration significantly enhances simulation fidelity to actual service environments. Distinct load-bearing and non-load-bearing zones emerge in radial roller arrays
contrasting with the full-row load alternation pattern observed in thrust rollers. The contact force magnitude at the radial roller-inner race interface exceeds distal thrust roller interactions by 5.67 times
while distal thrust roller forces maintain approximately twice the magnitude of proximal counterparts. When the roller is in the non-load-bearing zone
its self-rotation speed gradually decreases
and the degree of decrease is directly proportional to the movement time in the non-load-bearing zone. The rotational speed and contact force of the thrust roller and thrust cage have the same alternating changes as the axial alternating load. The rotational speed of the radial cage is more stable. When the thrust roller is not under load
the corresponding thrust cage will be driven to rotate by the inner ring
and the rotational speed will increase.
