Rolling bearing stiffness is an important factor to predict vibration and running accuracy of rotating machineries. It is highly effective and useful for designing rotating machineries to obtain bearing stiffness by using numerical analyses, instead of doing wasteful experimental measurements. Consequently, in this paper, numerical analyses for rolling bearing stiffness are summarized as an examination technique of rolling bearing stiffness. The followings are the main topics: Analyses considering Hertzian contact deformation between rolling elements and races and their static behaviors, analyses considering whole elastic deformation of races and their peripherals in addition to the previous, and an analysis considering dynamic phenomena between rolling elements and races.
