The detection of the friction torque is effected on the innerring. Figure 2 shows

30、that the result is affected by the measuring position due to the splashing of the rollingelements and the cage in the lubricant.Whilst the outer ring is standing still, the inner ring is driven with the necessary driving torque Tdrive.Thefrictionofthewholebearinghastobeovercomeandthereforethedriving
