On the possibility of improving the life of NU204 cylindrical roller bearings by design optimization using genetic algorithm in MATLAB

Abstract

The NU series of single-row cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs) are designed to withstand high speeds and heavy radial loads. It consists of inner ring, outer ring, cylindrical rollers, and cage. They are suitable for use as non-locating bearings because they can accommodate axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing in both directions.
