A structural model of a bearing is proposed based on a general standard bearing structure and magneto‐fluidic lubrication, and the magnetic field of the bearing lubrication gap is analyzed under the action of an applied magnetic source. Results show that the magnetic field can form a magnetic circuit in the bearing structure, and a significant magnetic flux density is formed in the contact area of the rolling element of the bearing. The magnetic induction intensity in the contact area of the rolling element of the thrust bearing can provide magnetic fluid lubrication, and the magnetic induction intensity in the contact area of the rolling element of the point contact bearing is greater than that of the linear bearing. The magnetic inductance of the rolling elements in the rolling element contact area of a double row point contact bearing is greater than that of a single ring. The double permanent magnet ring structure has a more advantageous magnetic field effect than a single ring, and the magnetic inductance in the rolling element contact area of both rows of a double row point contact bearing is relatively the same.
