2、 to provide 3d damping to absorb shocks from all directions. two designs are presented: one has 12 t-shape slots in the radian direction while the other has 8 spiral slots in the radian direction. both designs have flexure mountings on the axial directions. based on the finite element analysis (fea)
3、, the new bearing can reduce the vibration (displacement) by as much as 8.37% and hence, can better protect the shafts. key words: precision engineering bearing flexures structure finite element analysis0 introductionprecision engineering devices often have small shafts supported by air bearings. fo
4、r these shafts, even a small vibration may cause the shaft pounding against the bearing resulting in significant damage. to solve this problem, various designs have been developed. for example, a classical design developed by breguet over one hundred years ago is to use a two-piece jewel bearing. wh

12、uch as diaphragm flexure for precision compliant mechanisms16, active high-accuracy and large bandwidth mechanism171.the new design is an air bearing with flexure that provides 3d damping. the rest of the paper is organized as follows: section 1 presents the design. section 2 contains the finite ele
13、ment analysis (fea) model simulation results. finally, section 3 includes the conclusions and future work.1 design of the nano-bearingwe proposed two different designs: one has 8 spiral slots in the radian direction, while the other has 12 t-shape slots in the radian direction, as discussed in secti
14、on 1.1 and section 1.2 respectively. both designs have the same flexure mountings cap, 3d_mount, on the axial directions, which is described in section 1.3. the designs are drafted using a cad software system solid-work.1.1 design 1: spiral slots along the radian directionthis design is shown in fig
15、. 1. the bearing is made of 1 mm thick stainless steel and the diameter of the hole is 1 mm as well. to provide the damping along the radian direction of the bearing, it has 8 spiral slots with each pairs slots being 45 apart. the width of the slot is 0.1 mm and the length is approximately 8.80 mm.1
16、.2design 2: t-shape slots along the radian directionthe second design is shown in fig. 2. the size and the materials are the same as design 1. though, it consists of 12 t-shape slots along the radian direction, each slot is 30 apart. the angle between the slots is 30. the dimension of the slot is sh
17、own in fig. 2, with parameter a being calculated using: a * af(slots_ number) = 360 *p(% rating). for a bearing with 12 slots with 60% circumference rating, a = 360*60%/12 = 18. in calculating the length of the slot d, it is assumed that the total length of slot is the same as the spiral design. thi
18、s results in d = 0.44 mm and leading outer radius r0 = 1.04 mm.1.3modeling of the bearing mounting cap: 3d_mountas shown in fig. 3, the bearing cap is 0.5 mm thick circular disk formed by the revolution of a cross section. the cross section is made of three 0.4 mm diameter circular notch, which form
19、s a flexure for providing damping in the axial direction of the bearing. note that the cross section can be considered as a 4-bar linkage , where the compliance is achieved by the flexure structure.1.4modeling of bearing assemblythe bearing assembly includes a shaft and a pair of bsar-ings(fig. 4).
20、the shaft is 10 mm long, with 0.99 mm diameter. in other words, the gap between the bearing and the shaft is 0.01 zxd. the flexure-bearing system is aimed at preventing the shaft being pounding against the bearings during an impact. for simplicity, it is assumed that screw mounting effect can be omi
21、tted in the fea.2 fea model and simulation results2.1 fea modelthe fea simulation is carried out using a commercial cae software system algor. the temperature is set at 26.67 c, with no thermal variation. the material is stainless steel (aisi 302) cold-rolled. the weight of the whole bearing system
22、is 20 g. thus, the gravitation force is mg = 20 * 9.8/1 000 = 0.196 n. this force is equivalent to the bearing being freely dropped above the ground vertically.assuming that initial velocity v0 = 0 and final velocity vf = 0, and neglecting air resistance; furthermore, assuming there is no kinetic en
23、ergy loss in elastic collision. then, by conservation of energy, kinetic energy + potential energy = constant, or l/2wv2 + mgh = 1/2wv2 + mg(0). by simple calculation, it follows that v = yj2gh = 6.26 m/s. assuming the bearing is being dropped 2 m from the ground and the impact time is ts = 1 ms, th
24、en, the impact force is f= ma = m (vf- v)/s = -125.28 n.we wish to see if the new bearings are capable of reducing the deformation of the bearing when it is being dropped onto the ground. fig. 5 illustrates its physical significance: the bearing being dropped onto the ground is equivalent to a point
25、 force applying onto the bearing. as a result, the bearing deforms and the deformation at the center hole is measured by dr. note that the negative value would imply a reduction in radius, while the positive are imply an increase in radius.2.2the impact force on the bearingfig. 6 shows a typical sim
26、ulation result: fig. 6a shows the fea model, in which a point force is applied onto the bearing simulating the bearing being dropped and hit the ground from the side. fig. 6b shows the bearing deformation near the center hole from the tea. note that if the deformation is large enough (larger than ti
27、v- bearing / shaft assembly tolerance), the bearing will assert a large force onto the shaft. in worst cases, the shaft may even break.table 1 summarizes the simulation results. from table 1, following observations can be seen: first, in the impact direction x, the two new designs have less deformat
28、ion. particularly, the t-shape design reduces the deformation by 1.28%, while the spiral design reduces the deformation by as much as 8.37%. this indicates that the new design will be able to provide better damping. second, in the direction y, the two new designs have large deformation. fortunately,
29、 this should not affect the stability of the bearing system as they deform into the positive range.2.3 the impact force on the bearing capin our design, the flexure bearing cap acts as a damper. fig. 7 shows the fea models in three difficult cases. in fig. 7a, the point pressures are applied to the
30、center of the bearing cap simulating the bearing had a direct hit. note that the pressure p is calculated byp = f/a = f/l-ns) 125.28/ti * (0.32) * 443.10 n mm2. in fig. 7b, a point force is applied to near the center of the bearing cap simulating the bearing had a sharp hit. in fig. 7c, an angled po
31、int force is applied to the bearing cap simulating an indirect sharp hit. in all the cases, the displacement of the bearing is in a scale of 1 um. this indicates that the bearing cap provides sufficient damping to protect the shaft.in order to evaluate the performance of the new design bearing cap f
32、or the whole system, three more cases are considered on the assembled system. the first case is shown in fig. 8a, where a pressure is applied to the center of the bearing cap simulating a large direct impact on the bearing. the second case is shown in fig. 8b, where an angled point force is impacted
33、 near the center of the bearing cap. finally, the third case is shown in fig. 8c, where an angled point force is impacted away the center of the bearing cap. the results show that the displacement keeps on below 10 urn, or such displacement is mainly due to the vertical z-direction, which is not critical to rotating performance. it further verifies the damping performance of the flexure structures, especially for the vertical deformation of the bearing cap (3d_mount), to protect the rotating behavior of the bearing systems. the simulation results are summarized in tables 2-4 res
