[0054] 1. Determine the type and profile size of the taper bearing.
[0055] According to the technical parameters of the main reducer, the type and profile size of the high and low speed gear variable speed gear inner taper bearing are calculated and determined. The high and low speed variable speed gear taper bearings include a variable speed shaft 1, a high speed gear 2, a low speed gear 3, a taper bearing a 4, a taper bearing b 5, a taper bearing c 6, a taper bearing d 7, a spacer sleeve a 8, and a spacer sleeve b 9.
[0056] Bearing model LM665949 / LM665910, for example, 4 bearings for each speed reducer.
[0057] Bearing inner ring width B = 82.550 mm; bearing outer ring width C = 63.500 mm;
[0058] Bearing inner diameter d = 385.762 mm; bearing outer diameter W = 514.350 mm;
[0059] 2. Detect the inner diameter d, outer diameter D, and the height difference between the inner and outer rings of the tapered bearing.
[0060] 2.1), the bearing should be placed in a constant temperature three-coordinate detection laboratory for 48 hours (the laboratory temperature is maintained at 20±1℃). At this time, the effect of temperature difference on the installation width of the spacer sleeve is not considered.
[0061] Otherwise, the effect of different temperatures of the bearing outer ring, bearing inner ring, and rolling body on the installation width of the spacer sleeve should be considered. Record the room temperature and the temperature T of the bearing at the time of measurement; the bearing is installed back to back, and the bearing width change amount is: .
[0062] T: room temperature at the time of measurement;
[0063] 2.2), 4 bearings are sequentially labeled.
[0064] 2.3), detect the actual size of the bearing, accurate to 3 decimal places.
[0065] Inner diameter d = 385.762 mm, outer diameter W = 514.350 mm, inner ring width B = 82.550 mm, outer ring width C = 63.500 mm.
[0066] 2.4) Detect the height difference between the back of the bearing outer ring and the front of the bearing inner ring, and the detection method is shown in the attached Figure 3 .
[0067] The method for measuring the height difference is as follows, which should be more familiar to the operation and will not be repeated here, only the measurement load is noted, 300N is recommended when the outer diameter is less than 240mm, and 500N is recommended when the outer diameter is greater than 240mm. Also refer to the relevant bearing sample, and take 5 / 1000~1 / 100 of the rated dynamic load as the measurement load. Before measurement, the bearing inner and outer rings are concentric, at least 4 points are detected, and the maximum and minimum numerical difference is less than 0.015 mm. The detection result takes the arithmetic mean value t of each point. When the outer ring is higher than the inner ring, t is positive; when the outer ring is lower than the inner ring, t is negative.
[0068] 3. Detect the inner hole of the variable speed gear and the outer diameter of the variable speed shaft (2 gears and 1 shaft)
[0069] 3.1) 2 variable gear, 1 variable shaft, 1 variable gear inside the fixed sleeve.
[0070] Put the variable gear and variable shaft in the constant temperature gear grinding machine working chamber for 48 hours (according to the temperature of spring and autumn, summer and winter, the room temperature of the working chamber is maintained at 20±1℃). At this time, the influence of temperature difference on the installation width of the fixed sleeve is not considered.
[0071] The inner hole of the gear is marked respectively, see Figure 4 From left to right, D1-D4.
[0072] Otherwise, record the room temperature and the temperature T of the bearing when measuring, the change of the width of the variable gear and the variable shaft:
[0073] T: the room temperature when measuring.
[0074] 3.2) Measure the actual size of 514.350mm of the inner hole D1-D4 of the two gears with the inner diameter micrometer, measure at least 3 times for each inner hole, angle is divided, the maximum and minimum numerical difference is less than 0.015mm, take the arithmetic mean.
[0075] 3.3) Measure the actual size of the boss width H=197.45mm of the gear inner hole, measure at least 4 times, angle is divided, the maximum and minimum numerical difference is less than 0.015mm, take the arithmetic mean.
[0076] 3.4) Measure the actual size of the variable shaft at 4 positions, measure at least 2 times for each position, the maximum and minimum numerical difference is less than 0.015mm, see Figure 6 .
[0077] 3.5) The inner and outer diameter micrometer used is placed in the gear grinding machine working chamber for at least 24 hours.
[0078] 3.6) Record the room temperature, gear, variable shaft temperature.
[0079] 4. Calculate the change amount of the bearing width caused by the radial interference amount of the inner and outer rings of the single tapered bearing;
[0080] The inner and outer rings of the tapered bearing are interference fit with the inner hole of the gear and the variable shaft. When the inner and outer rings swell due to interference, the change size in the width direction is related to the thickness of the tapered bearing. The actual thickness of the inner and outer rings of each set of bearings is slightly different. Here is a formula that meets the basic requirements. In general, it can be calculated according to this.
[0081] The change amount of the bearing width caused by the interference fit of the outer ring of the tapered bearing with the inner hole of the gear:
[0082] (shafting A outer ring interference amount calculation coefficient) Similarly;
[0083] A1: the bearing A outer ring and gear hole radial interference amount;
[0084] Y1: bearing A outer ring interference amount calculation coefficient, bearing factory provides;
[0085] Three-dimensional drawing can be drawn, integral calculus solution; empirical formula:
[0086] The inner ring of the tapered bearing and the variable speed shaft interference fit causes the bearing width change amount:
[0087] (shafting A inner ring interference amount calculation coefficient) Similarly;
[0088] A2: the bearing A inner ring and variable speed shaft radial interference amount; mm
[0089] Y2: bearing A inner ring interference amount calculation coefficient, bearing factory provides;
[0090] Three-dimensional drawing can be drawn, integral calculus solution; empirical formula:
[0091] When calculating the radial interference amount of the inner and outer rings of the tapered bearing, the influence of surface roughness should be considered. The surface roughness plane will be partially flattened under tight fit, and the actual interference amount is smaller than the measured value. For example, the interference amount is 100 μm, the surface roughness conversion value of the shaft is 3 μm, and the bearing surface is 2 μm, then the actual interference amount is 100-2(3+2)=90 μm, (because the diameter direction is considered, so multiply by 2). Figure 6 Therefore, the flattened value needs to be subtracted.
[0092] For example:
[0093] The measured interference amount is 100 μm, the surface roughness conversion value of the shaft is 3 μm, and the bearing surface is 2 μm, then the actual interference amount is 100-2(3+2)=90 μm, (because the diameter direction is considered, so multiply by 2).
[0094] For different machining surface roughness conversion values, it is recommended to refer to the following range (the bearing fitting surface can use 2 μm):
[0095]
[0096] 5. Determine the variable speed gear inner matching tapered bearing spacer width S;
[0097] The width S value calculation formula of the variable speed gear spacer is as follows: (the formula does not consider the influence of temperature difference)

[0115] Constant temperature assembly in the studio.
[0116] All parts are placed in the constant temperature room for 24 hours, the room temperature is kept at 20±1℃, at this time, the influence of temperature difference on the installation width S of the spacer sleeve is not considered. Otherwise, record the room temperature and the temperature T of the bearing when measuring, and the width change: ;
[0117] T: room temperature at the time of measurement.
[0118] 6.2 Analysis of the relationship between the pre-tightening of the shift bearing and stress:
[0119] The setting of the axial pre-tightening value needs to take the following factors into account: excessive pre-tightening can easily cause a sharp increase in stress, and insufficient pre-tightening can lead to a fit clearance, and at the same time, a compensation allowance needs to be reserved for temperature changes. It is usually recommended to set this value in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.10 mm.
