Suspension ball‐races, which are important elements of steering and suspension systems in vehicles, are manufactured by applying plastic forming technique to assemble the parts after their spherical bearings are designed. In this study, the edge‐form rolling process, which is a subsection of the rolling process in manufacturing methods based on plastic forming and used in the manufacturing of the suspension ball‐races supplying the motion transmission, was examined comprehensively. The rates and magnitudes of pressure forces occurring in bearing systems after edge‐form rolling processes were studied by changing operation pressures of this forming technique in which specific numerical simulations based on finite element analyses with implicit method were used. The results obtained from the developed edge‐form rolling simulations were confirmed by the results of the test method developed in this research.
