Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake structure technology, specifically a front-mounted brake structure for a turntable. Background Technology

[0002] In rotary table applications, since braking involves a sudden, forceful application to the rotating shaft, it inevitably affects precision components such as bearings and encoders. Minimizing this impact ensures the overall machine's accuracy. Currently, many manufacturers use a rear-mounted brake, placing it away from the bearing and closer to the encoder. However, this placement has two drawbacks: firstly, it creates a longer lever arm on the bearing, resulting in bending moments. If the bearing's load-bearing design margin is insufficient, the bearing will be under considerable strain. Increasing the bearing's load-bearing design margin, on the other hand, inevitably leads to larger bearing sizes, causing overall size and weight to become uncontrollable. Secondly, the proximity of the brake to the encoder significantly impacts the encoder's accuracy (such as positioning and repeatability), resulting in reduced machine tool precision. Therefore, this invention proposes a front-mounted brake structure for rotary tables. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a front-mounted brake structure for a turntable.

A brake is provided between the sealing seat, the brake housing, and the transition ring. A rotary seal is also provided on one side of the brake. A rotor is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft, and a stator is provided on the outside of the rotor. The stator is fixed on the brake housing. By placing the brake in front, closer to the bearing, the bending moment arm on the bearing is smaller, the bearing load is lighter, and it is further away from the encoder. That is, with the same structural dimensions and the same model of rotor, stator, brake, encoder, and bearing, the front-mounted brake structure proposed in this application has more advantages, less precision loss, and thus reduces the loss of precision during braking, improving the performance of the braking mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a motor plate disposed on one side of the rotor, the motor plate being sleeved and mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft.

[0008] Preferably, an encoder mounting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the brake housing, and an encoder is installed inside the encoder mounting plate.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the front-mounted braking structure of this turntable has the following advantages:

[0015] This invention places the braking mechanism at the front, closer to the bearing, resulting in a smaller bending moment arm on the bearing and a lighter bearing load, while also keeping it away from the encoder. Therefore, with the same structural dimensions and the same model of motor, brake, encoder, and bearing, a front-mounted brake offers advantages, minimizing accuracy loss and thus reducing accuracy loss during braking, thereby improving the effectiveness of the braking mechanism.
