quasi statics analysis for RV reducer main bearing with multi-ball features contains larger scale of nonlinear equations
which leads to the difficulty of convergence under extreme working conditions. A 5-DOF model of quasi statics of RV reducer main bearing is established
and a new iteration algorithm combining Newton's and Broyden's methods is chosen to solve the quasi statics nonlinear equations. Following the simplified bearing geometry and motion relations and employing the bearing statics model
the quasi static iterative initial value of RV reducer main bearing is obtained. The comparative results show that the proposed combined iterative method can effectively solve the difficulties of non-convergence and complex number solutions in the case of the radial force greater than or equal to 3 kN
and the rapidity and validity of the new iterative method are verified. It is also found that the load and contact angle of each ball in RV reducer main bearing get symmetrical about the normal through the external force contact point and are related to the angle γ between this line and the position of the ball; under the same axial and radial joint load
the load on each ball in symmetrical part is inversely proportional to acute angle γ
while the load is proportional to obtuse angle γ; the contact angle is proportional to γ.
