The aim of the article is to examine the impact of change of the roller elements inner geometry on durability and reliability of spherical roller bearings; the contact strain along a spherical roller by means of the Finite Element Method at contact points of components of a spherical roller bearing by means of designed 3D parametric models. The most appropriate shape of roller elements inner geometry of a bearing from the standpoint of calculated durability was determined based on results of the contact analyses. Keywords: rolling element, contact strain, spherical roller bearing 1 Introduction Roller bearings durability depends on a revolution number, which the bearing can perform until fatigue of any Roller bearings are an inseparable part of most machines of their components takes place. A peeled material is a sign and devices in which there takes place a rotation movement of the component fatigue.
