Thermal Performances Prediction Analysis of High Speed Feed Shaft Bearings Under Actual Working Condition

Abstract

High-speed machining is a key technology for greatly improving productivity and reducing production costs. Angular contact ball bearing is the key component of ball screw feed system. Predictive analysis of bearings thermal behavior is significant to ensure the working accuracy of machine tools. Due to the continuous dynamic changes under actual working conditions, it is difficult to predict and model of the bearings heating characteristics. This paper develops a comprehensive calculation method for predicting the thermodynamic characteristics on high speed feed shaft bearings. Based on quasi-static model and thermal dynamic model, Monte Carlo optimization algorithm is used to inverse the temperature field experimental temperature data. The real heating characteristics of heat source are comprehensively predicted and analyzed, so as to accurately predict the bearing thermal dynamic performances of feed shaft bearings. The research work in this paper lays a strong foundation for the thermal error modeling and thermodynamic analysis of the ball screw feed system of machine tools.
