This work is dedicated to the problem of ball bearings capacity on the turbopump assembly rotor. Many publications and books have been devoted to solve this problem. The result of research is benefit for designers, technologists and operatives. However, many important questions, which are concerning of ball bearings work, in engineering practice are not sufficiently disclosed. In favor of this is telling the statistic of development of high-speed rotor assemblies. In the total mass of turbopump assembly defects, which appear at the phase of developmental design, more the half of them are belong to the friction nodes, which are including the ball bearings too. The authors are present their own results of the experimental data, which were accumulated as result of the ball bearings tests on the special installation and as part of the turbopump assembly from a Liquid-Propellant Rocket Engine. The defects of ball bearings parts were described and analyzed. The main factors which are worsening the service life of ball bearings in consisting of the turbopump assembly were examined. The kinematics and force interaction of balls with bearing race were examined. In the final analysis was advanced the version of the cause of increased wear of ball bearings high-speed rotor, which consists of the assumption on that during the operation of the bearing, in the radial clearance mode, axial displacements of the balls occur, under the influence of the axial force generated by the flow of the cooling liquid. Also this article shows how these movements of the balls affect the load distribution between the bearing parts and their deterioration. It is assumed that in this mode of operation, in the system "rotor - ball bearing - body" may arise forced axial oscillations. These oscillations are suitable for the term perametric ocillations, since the energy is introduced to the oscillatory system by the periodically changing parameters of the system. In this case, this is the movement of balls, which is expended the energy of rotor rotation or the energy of the flow of cooling liquid. In support of the advanced version, the experimental data on the state of bearings №207Ю and №205Ю were given after the tests with different values of the flow of cooling liquid.
