Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ultra-low temperature experimental devices for bearings, in particular to a loading device for ultra-low temperature experiments of bearings. Background Art
[0002] The research of ultra-low temperature bearings is one of the important links of aerospace launch systems in various countries. Bearing tests before installation are a necessary link. Ultra-low temperature test technology will inevitably become one of the problems that need to be solved urgently. Liquid nitrogen is -196℃, non-toxic and harmless, safe and stable, easy to prepare, transport and store, and can provide a low temperature environment similar to the working medium of the engine. The ultra-low temperature propellant medium uses liquid nitrogen to simulate operation. However, after the existing test device is ultra-low temperature cooled at -196℃, due to the cryogenic sedimentation of the test shaft system, it cannot maintain good alignment with the loading device. Misaligned loading will generate additional overturning torque on the loading body. Under the action of the overturning torque, the loading body is stuck, resulting in the load not being accurately applied to the bearing, which affects the application of force, the rotation accuracy of the shaft system, the life of the process bearing, the working condition of the test bearing, and ultimately affects the test results.
