AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for measuring the raceway position of the inner and outer rings of angular contact bearings suffer from problems such as large measurement errors and high operational difficulty. In particular, the small mating area between the fulcrum and the pressure point leads to product instability and affects product quality.
Using steel balls and standard gauge blocks, the curvature of the raceway is lifted by measuring the ball and tangent to the position point of the bearing ring raceway.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of measurement technology for machining inner and outer rings of angular contact bearings, and more specifically to a method for measuring the raceway position during machining of angular contact bearing rings. Background Technology
[0002] When machining new angular contact bearing inner and outer rings, due to the variety of products and the different raceway curvatures of different products, the difference between the raceway interlocking dimensions and the raceway dimensions of most angular contact bearings is relatively small (e.g., Figure 1 When using a bearing raceway dimension and position measuring instrument (outer raceway D01X / inner raceway D02X, X ranges from 1 to 4) for measurement, it is necessary to customize a support point (smaller than the raceway curvature R) that matches the raceway curvature and a pressure point that can satisfy the fixing of the raceway lock side. Then, standard parts are made for comparison measurement to determine the raceway position of the inner and outer rings of the angular contact bearing (e.g., ...). Figure 2 ).
[0003] The original measurement method was limited by the workpiece curvature and raceway edge locking. To accurately measure the actual condition of the product, custom-made standard parts were required, and the measuring instrument needed to be customized with fulcrums and pressure points that matched the raceway curvature and locking shape (adding measuring points to the outer ring, and the same applies to others). Even if the fulcrums and pressure points were complete, the contact area between the fulcrums and pressure points and the raceway locking direction was too small, making it difficult for the product to be placed very stably on the bearing measuring instrument. This placed extremely high demands on the operator's measurement skills, often resulting in measurement errors and affecting product quality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for measuring the raceway position during machining of angular contact bearing rings.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for measuring the raceway position during machining of angular contact bearing rings includes the following steps: (1) Determine the groove curvature of the product to be processed, then prepare a steel ball 0.01-0.04 mm smaller than the groove curvature as a measuring ball, and then fix the measuring ball to the tip of the measuring instrument; (2) Prepare a standard gauge block whose radius is close to the specified raceway position value when added to the steel ball radius, and check the table according to the height difference; the height difference is the difference between the standard gauge block plus the radius of the measuring ball and the groove position in the workpiece drawing; (3) When measuring, place the product flat on the table of the measuring instrument and apply an external force horizontally in the direction of the measuring ball of the instrument to restrict the product from moving forward. Use the curvature of the bearing raceway to lift the measuring ball. The radius point of the measuring ball in the horizontal direction is tangent to the raceway position point of the bearing raceway to obtain the raceway position of the angular contact bearing raceway. Then, measure the groove runout value of the raceway through multiple measurements.
[0006] Table value = (Standard gauge block + Measuring ball radius) - Process raceway position Actual raceway position = Process raceway position + Indicator needle reading during measurement The pendulum value = the maximum difference after multiple measurements; The table value represents the difference between the standard part and the actual groove position.
[0007] Preferably, the measuring instruments are G206 and G904 with dial gauges.
[0008] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By sampling several angular contact bearing raceway products and comparing the raceway position measurements after machining using the new measurement method with those obtained from the company's coordinate measuring machine and profilometer, the measurement error was within 0.01mm, fully meeting the needs of on-site machining measurements. This new measurement method is now being used for measuring the raceway position of new angular contact bearing raceways and products with small differences between the raceway and the raceway dimensions. The method is simple and efficient in on-site measurements, and operators only require minimal training to perform the measurements. This method can be widely adopted in the field of angular contact bearing raceway position measurement. Attached Figure Description

[0013] This embodiment provides a method for measuring the raceway position during machining of angular contact bearing rings, including the following steps: (1) Determine the groove curvature of the product to be processed, then prepare a steel ball 0.02 mm smaller than the groove curvature as a measuring ball, and then fix the measuring ball to the tip of the measuring instrument; (2) Prepare a standard gauge block whose radius is close to the specified raceway position value when added to the steel ball radius, and check the table according to the height difference; the height difference is the difference between the standard gauge block plus the radius of the measuring ball and the groove position in the workpiece drawing; (3) When measuring, place the product flat on the table of the measuring instrument and apply an external force horizontally in the direction of the measuring ball of the instrument to restrict the product from moving forward. Use the curvature of the bearing raceway to lift the measuring ball. The radius point of the measuring ball in the horizontal direction is tangent to the raceway position point of the bearing raceway to obtain the raceway position of the angular contact bearing raceway. Then, measure the groove runout value of the raceway through multiple measurements.
[0014] In this embodiment, the raceway position of the inner and outer rings of the angular contact bearing is 20 mm, and the raceway curvature radius is R5.1 mm.
