The most important components of the bearings are
the inner and outer bearing rings. The raceway is the most
important feature constituting the bearing rings. Grinding and
super finishing operations are applied to attain tight tolerances
and very low surface roughness in the raceway. In this study,
the effect of the cutting parameters on the cutting forces and
surface roughness in turning of the outer bearing ring raceway,
made from hardened AISI 52100 steel, was investigated by
using cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting tool instead of
grinding. The cutting forces occurred in hard turning of the
outer bearing rings were measured using a piezoelectric cutting
force measurement unit. It was seen that the radial cutting
forces acting on the outer ring raceway were higher than the
primary forces. The feed force at the end of the raceway form
was higher than that at the start point of the form. The lowest
surface roughness was obtained at 0.04 mm/rev feed rate.
