The rotor system supported by the ball bearings is widely used in various fields such as aviation, space, and machinery due to its importance. In the study of the dynamic characteristics for the ball bearings, it is important to accurately calculate the stiffness of the ball bearings. The stiffness of the ball bearings is very important in the analysis of the vibration characteristics of the rotor system. Therefore, in this paper, the method of creating a comprehensive stiffness model of the ball bearing is mentioned. In consideration of the radial clearance of the ball bearing, the radial load acting on the ball bearing was derived, and based on this, a model for calculating the Hertz contact stiffness of the ball bearing was created. Based on the load considering the radial clearance, an oil film stiffness model of the ball bearing was created under the EHL theory. Then, the comprehensive stiffness was calculated by combining Hertz contact stiffness and the oil film stiffness of the ball bearing. When the radial clearance of the ball bearing is considered, the comprehensive stiffness is larger than when the radial clearance is not taken into account, and the radial clearance of the ball bearing is an important factor that directly affects the comprehensive stiffness of the ball bearing.
