Abstract Disturbances in the torques and motions in angular contact instrument ball bearing pairs are described and analyzed. Among others, a motion of the ball retainer, analogous to dry friction whirl, is attributed to frictional coupling between balls and retainer, and an interaction between bearings, resulting in several low frequency perturbations, is explained in terms of ball errors. Experimental confirmation is obtained. Contributed to the American Society of Lubrication Engineers by the author. Manuscript received July 15, 1964.
