Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of optical mechanical adjustment, and particularly relates to an aviation precision bearing assembly pre-tightening force measuring device and method, which is used for accurate measurement of aviation precision paired angular contact bearing assembly pre-tightening force, guarantees the consistency of product bearing pre-tightening force, and further ensures the stability of product quality. BACKGROUND

[0002] In an aviation optical mechanical product, in order to obtain a large enough exploration field, a far enough detection distance and a high enough exploration precision, a precision rotary shaft system is often used, and the rotary precision and the rotary friction torque of the shaft system have very high requirements. The rotary precision and the rotary friction torque of the shaft system are directly affected by bearing assembly pre-tightening force. The pre-tightening force adjustment of the aviation precision paired angular contact bearing assembly generally adopts a pre-tightening mode of a pressing ring matched with a screw thread, such as setting an external screw thread on a rotary inner shaft and matching the external screw thread with an internal screw thread in a bearing inner pressing ring, and indirectly adjusting the bearing pre-tightening force by adjusting the tightening torque applied to the pressing ring. In the actual product assembly process, in order to guarantee the consistency of the bearing pre-tightening force, a torque wrench is used to apply the same tightening torque to the bearing installed on each product, so as to expect to ensure that the bearing pre-tightening force is the same. However, due to the differences in sizes and surface qualities of different parts, even if the same tightening torque is used, the rotary precision and the rotary friction torque of the shaft system of different products still show significant differences.

[0003] In order to improve the stability of product quality, it is necessary to guarantee the consistency of the bearing assembly pre-tightening force installed on the shaft system of the same product. When the bearing pre-tightening torque is controlled by the torque wrench, it is obviously impossible to guarantee that the pre-tightening force of the bearing of the shaft system of the same product is the same, and therefore, it is necessary to measure the tightening torque corresponding to the required pre-tightening force of the bearing on each product.

The lower surface of the outer ring of the upper bearing (5) contacts the upper surface of the pressure cylinder (13) until the value displayed by the pressure sensor (10) just changes. Step 7: Coaxially mount the bearing inner pressure ring (3) onto the rotating inner shaft (1), and gradually tighten the bearing inner pressure ring (3) using the pressure ring fixture (14) until the gap between the bearing inner pressure ring (3) and the upper bearing (5) is almost zero; clear the value of the pressure display (12) to zero. Step 8: Install the torque wrench (15) onto the pressure ring fixture (14), apply torque using the predetermined tightening torque, and stop applying torque immediately when the torque wrench (15) slips; observe the reading on the pressure display (12), and record the pressure value after the value stabilizes; the recorded pressure value is the axial preload applied to the bearing by the set torque; the axial preload of the bearing is expressed as: axial preload of the bearing = axial pressure of the bearing inner pressure ring - friction between the inner side wall of the bearing inner ring and the outer side wall of the rotating inner shaft; Step 9: Adjust the tightening torque. After obtaining the bearing preload that meets the usage requirements, record the corresponding tightening torque. During formal assembly, using this tightening torque will ensure that the bearing preload is consistent in each product of the same product shaft system.
