Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aero-engines, and in particular to a device and method for measuring the axial displacement of an aero-engine main bearing. Background Art
[0002] The selection and pairing of bearings is crucial during the development of aircraft engines, especially when designing the structures of compressor and fan test pieces. Due to the limitations of the unloading function of the compressor or fan tester, the rotor support must withstand large axial forces, even exceeding the maximum axial load of a single bearing, seriously affecting the life of the bearing and the safe operation of the test piece. Therefore, when designing the main support structure of the test piece, two bearings of the same model are installed "in series" side by side to jointly withstand the axial force on the rotor. To ensure that the axial displacement of the two bearings is consistent when loaded, it is necessary to select and pair the same type of bearings manufactured in the same batch to obtain high-precision bearing axial displacement to ensure that the bearings meet the requirements of use and measurement accuracy. Therefore, the design of the bearing pairing selection and measurement device and the measurement method play a vital role in the effectiveness of bearing selection and measurement accuracy.
[0003] Currently, the design of support structures for high-thrust compressor stages and fan test pieces typically uses a face-to-face or back-to-back configuration, significantly impacting bearing life. Therefore, a "tandem" configuration is often used, where bearings are installed in the same structural orientation. This requires pairing and installing two bearings with minimal axial displacement and nearly identical displacement values under load. During bearing pairing testing, the axial displacement of each bearing under load must be measured with a displacement accuracy of 0.001mm. However, due to limited test platform space, high-precision test tools will move or adjust when measuring different bearing positions, resulting in uncertainty in the measured relative axial displacement. For example, accurately measuring the relative displacement between two steps on a bearing requires determining the axial movement of the bearing under load, while also accounting for the initial bearing displacement. Achieving a displacement accuracy of 0.001mm is a critical challenge in bearing selection. Summary of the Invention

By simulating the actual installation state of the engine, the outer ring end face away from the main bearing 8 slot and the bearing inner ring are aligned with the end face of the same cover plate. Then, the baffle 4 that presses the outer ring end face of the bearing slot is removed. In this way, the initial axial displacement movement of the main bearing 8 is obtained and determined, providing a benchmark for accurately obtaining the axial displacement of the bearing under loaded conditions. The present invention plays an important role in improving the reliability and effectiveness of bearing selection and pairing on the main support of an aero-engine, and is also applicable to bearing axial displacement measurement and high-precision bearing pairing measurement in various fields.
