Analysis of non-uniform load distribution and stiffness for a preloaded roller linear motion guide

This paper presents a novel method for the analysis of solid surfaces in contact with a conformable component. These applications are common in many engine and hydraulic applications, wherein conformable seals, gaskets, bushings, etc. are employed to prevent unwanted flow across an interface or provide a uniform load distribution. The proposed analysis method employs a combination of meanline (m-system) filtering and envelope (e-system) or morphological filtering. Through this analysis, a simulation of contact area and the associated voids or gaps can be assessed.

Grinding Machine

A finite element model of an ultra-precision grinding machine that can have high precision and high stiffness is constructed and structural analysis is done with equivalent stiffnesses of linear motion guides by after structural design and the deformation of the grinding machine is obtained. In order to reduce the deformation of the grinding machine that causes bad influence, structural complement is conducted by adding ribs at the lower part of the column. Also, the straightness of the grinding machine is improved by lifting that the base side of the column.

Mathematical Programming Technique

A generalized technique is presented in this paper for evaluation of load distribution in gear systems and automated selection of optimal modification for the best possible distribution based on any prespecified type of modification. The procedure which utilizes a simplex-type algorithm provides an efficient and effective means for the design of gears with uniform load distribution.
