New aspects in design and calculation of high speed ball and roller bearings are discussed in as much as they affect bearing performance in the speed range of DxN = 3x106/min and beyond. For roller bearings the guide flange to roller end configuration as well as roller excursion within the cage pocket are linked to the phenomena of skewing and skidding. The need for under-race-lubrication in small diameter engine bearings is derived from this and a special solution (integral scoop) is shown along with related performance data. The influence of incorporating state of the art rolling elements made of silicon nitride on the design and calculation of high speed ball and roller bearings is shown taking into account hardness, density, Young's modulus and the Poisson ratio. Increased speeds coupled with additional design features being incorporated (such as lubrication holes, grooves, slots) require that inner rings of improved fracture toughness be developed with existing materials of known properties thus supplementing the material development activities already under way.
