Study of bearings rotation guidance

Axial study with the basic version :
 

• Measurement of the axial deflection of a bearing.
• Experimental determination of the axial constitutive law of a bearing.
• Experimental determination of the axial stiffness of a pivot connection made with two bearings.
• Evaluation of the influence of the preload on the axial stiffness of the guide.
• Influence of axial play of radial contact bearings on guide accuracy.
  
   

Multiaxial study with an optional instrumented shaft :
 

• Taking into account and measuring the deformation of the tree.
• Characterization of tapered roller bearings, measurement of anti-spill torque associated with this type of bearing, comparison with angular contact ball bearings
• Discussion around calculation models.

The test bench consists of a shaft and a pair of bearings assembled inside a rigid sleeve. A variable preload is applied to the guidance by a hydraulic precharge jack mounted on the shaft. Measuring the hydraulic pressure in this cylinder gives the value of the applied preload. A hydraulic load cylinder exerts a force on the shaft. A force sensor measures this load. These cylinders are powered by a manual hydraulic pump. A micrometer comparator measures the axial displacement of the shaft. The use of the instrumented shaft (strain gauges) allows the measurement of the preload of the assembly and the deformation of the shaft under axial and / or radial loading. An extensometric bridge is necessary for the operation of this test bench.
