curroriibearing
Curroriibearing is a class of rolling contact bearings that uses curved rolling elements and complementary curved raceways to distribute load along extended contact paths. The design aims to reduce peak contact stress and minimize friction by aligning rolling motion with the curvature of the races. Curroriibearing concepts are primarily discussed in contemporary mechanical engineering literature as experimental or theoretical developments rather than established standards.
In a curroriibearing, the raceways are shaped with non-linear, often spherical or toroidal curvature, while the
Materials commonly considered include tool steel, bearing steel, or ceramic composites for both races and rolling
Potential applications are in high-speed, high-precision rotation where load distribution and stiffness are critical, such as
Curroriibearing remains a niche topic. It is not yet standardized, and existing references are limited to theoretical
