Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrical automatic control and mechanical equipment, and in particular relates to a coupling coaxiality automatic centering device and method. Background Art
[0002] A coupling is a mechanical device used to connect two or more shafts and is widely used in various industrial machinery and equipment. However, during long-term use, the coupling may be damaged due to various reasons, affecting work efficiency. Therefore, the concentricity, parallelism and other parameter adjustments of the coupling are very demanding during installation. The standard requirements for the centering error of the coupling are generally that the coaxiality deviation is not greater than 0.10mm and the flatness deviation is not greater than 0.05mm. These standard requirements are intended to ensure the correct centering of the coupling during installation to reduce vibration and noise during operation and improve the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment.
[0003] If the coupling is not properly aligned during installation, the concentricity, parallelism and other parameter adjustment deviations of the coupling are too large, the distance between the coupling axis lines is difficult to maintain equal during operation, causing the transmission system to lose balance, the machine to vibrate and generate noise, leading to premature failure of mechanical parts such as couplings, bearings, gears, and seals, shortening the life of the equipment, and significantly increasing the equipment maintenance cost.
