Technical calculations

■Life of Flanged Linear Bushings.

When the linear system is in motion with applied load, the rolling surfaces and races are subject to repeated stress, This stress can cause scale-like flaking due to material fatigue. The total run distance until the flaking appears in the "Life" of the linear system.

Rated life can be calculated with the basic dynamic load rating and the actual load applied to the linear bushings, as shown below.

  • L: Rated Life (km).
  • fH: Hardness Factor (See Fig.1).
  • fT: Temperature Factor (See Fig. 2).
  • fC: Contact Factor (See Table-3).
  • fW: Load Factor (See Table-4).
  • C: Basic Dynamic Load Rating (N).
  • P: Applied Load (N).

● Hardness Factor (fH).

For linear applications, the shafts and ball bearings must have sufficient hardness. If they do not, the load rating decreases and the life will be reduced.

Raceway Surface Hardness.

●Temperature Factor (fT).

When the temperature of the linear system exceeds 100 degrees C, the hardness will decrease and as a result, the allowable load and life will reduced.

Linear System Temperature.

● Contact Factor (fC).

In general, it is common to use two or more bushings on one shaft. In these cases, the load on each bushing will vary depending on the machining precision and will not have equally distributed loads. As a result, the allowable load per bushing will vary depending on the number of bushings used on the rail.

Table-3. Contact factor

Number of Bearings Installed on One Shaft Contact Factor Fc
1 1
2 0.81
3 0.72
4 0.66
5 0.61

Load Factor (fW)

To calculate the load applied to the linear bushings, in addition to the object weight, the inertia force attributed to the motion velocity, moment loads and the variations of each over time must be obtained. However, for reciprocating motion applications, it is difficultto obtain accurate calculations due to the effects of the vibrations and shocks. Therefore, use Table 2 to simplify the life calculations.

Conditions of Use fw
No external shocks / vibrations,
low speed 15 m/min or less 		1.0～1.5
No significant shocks / vibrations,
medium speed 60 m/min or less 		1.5～2.0
With external shocks / vibrations,
high speed exceeding 60 m/min 		2.0～3.5

Life can be obtained by calculating the travel distance per unit of time. When the stroke length and the number of strokes are constant, it can be calculated using the formula below.

  • Lh: Life (hr.).
  • L: Rated Life (km).
  • Ls: Stroke Length (m).
  • n1: Cycles per Minute (cpm).

IDEA NOTE Two step shutter

By using two air cylinders in series, the shutter height can be altered based on the required operation. For example, this mechanism allows small workpieces to proceed while preventing large workpieces from moving.

IDEA NOTE Low friction coefficient urethane surface

Ceramic urethane is used to absorb the impact of moving workpieces. Additionally, this material has sliding properties that ensure that the workpiece will not stick to this cushion when the shutter is opened.

Application Overview

Purpose

  • Ascending/Descending mechanism that utilizes air cylinders.
  • Two stopping positions are achieved using two pneumatic cylinders arranged in series.

Points for use

  • Automatic shutter

Target workpiece

  • Resin box.
  • Small workpiece outer dimensions: W60 ｘ D80 ｘ H60.
  • Large workpiece outer dimensions: W80 ｘ D100 ｘ H80.

Design Specifications

Operating Conditions or Design Requirements.

  • Outer dimensions: W120 ｘ D500 ｘ H720.

Selection Criteria for Main Components.

  • Cylinder.
    • Selected to automatically open and close the shutter.
  • Linear bushing.
    • Selected to ensure the shutter travels smoothly.
  • Urethane sheet.
    • Selected to reduce the impact of workpieces on the shutter.

Design Evaluation

Verification of main components

  • A cylinder that has the thrust load required to open and close the shutter is selected.
  • Cylinder.
    • A cylinder that can output a load of 150 N (safety factor: 2 times) in the vertical direction is selected.
      A cylinder with a thrust of 300 N is selected from the catalog, and the tube inner diameter d mm is obtained.
    • Tube inner diameter d mm = √(thrust × 4/(load factor × operating pressure × π))
                             ＝√（300Ｎ×4/（0.5×0.4MPa×π））
                             ＝43.7mm
    • Therefore, a cylinder with an inner diameter of φ50mm is selected.

Other Design Consideration

  • For this design, back mounted shaft supports are used to affix the mechanism to the base plate. This allows the unit to be quickly detached and easily re-assembled.
