According to elastic contact theory, contact model between roller and race is established. Compared with the Hertz results, the results are proved, based on which contact stress distribution of different crowning and initial contact length is given, then the appropriate value is derived. On the basis, inertia force and different radial force is given into consideration. Via analysis, it con- cludes that under balanced pure radial load condition the largest contact stress between roller and race increases along with crowning value increasing. With the same crowning value, the largest contact stress between roller and race decreases in the first and increases at the end along with initial contact length increasing. Contact stress between roller and outer race increases along with revolution speed increasing.
