Aircraft Engine Bearing Reliability Statistical Methods for Reliability Engineering Dr. Ernesto Gutierrez-Miravete Prepared by Orlando J. Rivera Anglero December 4, 2008
Rolling Element Bearing Fundamentals Bearings: • Provide relative location • Support load • Allow motion with acceptable friction • Provide support and positioning for the engine rotor shaft • Bearing Failure could cause in-flight shut down (IFSD)
