This study presented the performance and failure mechanisms of roller bearings for structural steel and AISI 52100 alloy steel under various operating conditions. It emphasizes how material properties affect stress, deformation, and thermal performance according to simulations carried out in ANSYS Workbench. Results clearly present that AISI 52100 alloy steel exhibits better strength against stress, dimensional stability, and thermal efficiency compared with structural steel. Key factors contributing to the bearing's failure included high tightening axial force, vibration, and temperature, with spalling and wear as the dominant modes of failure. The improvement in performance further came through dimensional changes reducing stress and deformation. The whole research highlights the need for attention to material selection and axial force control while designing roller bearings to be reliable and efficient. Findings of the present study may thus advocate for the use of AISI 52100 alloy steel in applications requiring high performance and durability. Future studies might look at advanced materials and optimized designs to further advance bearing reliability under demanding conditions.
