A Method for Predicting Wear Behaviours of Roller Linear Guides Under the Influence of the Relative Humidity and Ambient Temperature

The wear of roller linear guides (RLG) has a direct impact on the tooling precision of CNC machine tool. Wear depends on working conditions: load P, speed V, work environment which includes relative humidity RH and ambient temperature T. In this paper the mathematical regression function describes t...

Description
Summary:The wear of roller linear guides (RLG) has a direct impact on the tooling precision of CNC machine tool. Wear depends on working conditions: load P, speed V, work environment which includes relative humidity RH and ambient temperature T. In this paper the mathematical regression function describes the relationship between the wear amount U of RLG with the three factors P, RH and T built on the basis of experimental research. The results show that the wear regression function U has an exponential form, which is consistent with experiments about the influence of climatic environment. It describes the simultaneous impact of three factors P, RH, T that affect wear of CNC machine tool rolling guide. With Vietnam's hot and humid environmental conditions, relative humidity RH% = 51 - 99%, temperature T = 15 - 450C, and load P = 2 - 6kgf, the influence on rolling guide wear of normal load P is 2 times the humidity RH% and about 3.8 times that of temperature T. Therefore, it is possible to predict the change in wear amount according to two environmental factors when loading P at certain values.
