Analysis and Experiment of Thermal Field Distribution and Thermal Deformation of Nut Rotary Ball Screw Transmission Mechanism
Source abstract
Abstract
This study designs a differential dual-drive micro-feed mechanism, superposing the two “macro feed motions” (“motor drive screw” and “motor drive nut”) using the same transmission of “the nut rotary ball screw pair” structure. These two motions are almost equal in terms of speed and turning direction, thus the “micro feed” can be obtained. (1) Background: Thermal deformation is the primary factor that can restrict the high-precision micro-feed mechanism and the distribution of heat sources differs from that of the conventional screw single-drive system owing to the structure and motion features of the transmission components. (2) Discussion: This study explores the thermal field distribution and thermal deformation of the differentially driven micro-feed mechanism when two driving motors are combined at different speeds. (3) Methods: Based on the theory of heat transfer, the differential dual-drive system can be used as the research object. The thermal equilibrium equations of the micro-feed transmission system are established using the thermal resistance network method, and a thermal field distribution model is obtained. (4) Results: Combined with the mechanism of thermal deformation theory, the established thermal field model is used to predict the axial thermal deformation of the differential dual-drive ball screw. (5) Conclusions: Under the dual-drive condition, the steady-state thermal error of the nut-rotating ball screw transmission mechanism increases with the increase in nut speed and composite speed and is greater than the steady-state thermal error under the single screw drive condition. After reaching the thermal steady state, the measured thermal elongation at the end of the screw in the experiment is approximately 10.5 μm and the simulation result is 11.98 μm. The experimental measurement result demonstrates the accuracy of the theoretical analysis model for thermal error at the end of the screw.
