In order to optimize the mechanical behavior of high speed rotors, it is useful to know the load-displacement law of the angular-contact ball bearing. The relationship between preload, speed, and contact angle is studied and a new analytical approach is proposed, giving explicitly and with good precision the contact angle versus preload and rotational speed for the special case of elastically preloaded high speed angular-contact ball bearing.
