In order to research the dynamic performance of angular contact ball bearings of high-speed motorized spindles in detail, based on Hertz contact theory and bearing quasi-static model, considering the influence of centrifugal force, gyroscope moment and thermal effect on bearing operation, the modified quasi-static model is established to calculate the bearing contact stiffness. Then, considering the influence of temperature on the dynamic viscosity of lubricating oil, film stiffness model of bearing is also presented. On the basis, the bearing comprehensive stiffness model is proposed, and the influences of combined load and rotational speed on the bearing stiffness are investigated. The results show that as the speed increases, the radial contact stiffness increases, while the axial and angular contact stiffness decrease, the dynamic viscosity of the lubricating oil decreases, the film stiffness decreases and the comprehensive radial, axial and angular stiffness decrease. With the increase of axial load, the radial, axial and angular contact stiffness increase, the comprehensive stiffness increases. When the radial load increases, the radial, axial and angular contact stiffness decreases, while the comprehensive stiffness increases. It is found that the comprehensive stiffness considering the temperature is larger than without consideration of the temperature.
