The main objective of our project is to explore the analysis of a ball bearing. This has entailed performing a detailedthermal analysis. The study deals with dynamic, modal and transient thermal analysis. A proper Finite Element Model is developedusing Cad software Pro/E Wildfire 4.0. Here we are doing the material optimization of balls used in bearing. We are designed the 3Dmodel of the axle by using pro-e software and the analysis are made by different combination of materials for the bearing and theanalysis carried out using ansys software. In this project we are analyzing the rotational velocity and moment acting on the bearingby the two materials. Presently the bearing is made by the stainless steel material. we are testing the same load for ceramic material.Then the thermal analysis is done to determine the total heat flux in the existing ball bearing for the given temperature conditions.The temperature acting on the inner surface of the bearing is applied and the results were also used to determine the total heat fluxfor a particular material.
